About
The technology behind microwave ovens was discovered in the early 20th century and later developed for consumer use in the 1940s. Since then, microwave ovens have become a popular household item due to their convenience and ability to quickly and efficiently heat food. The microwave oven works by emitting microwaves that cause water molecules in the food to vibrate, generating heat and cooking the food. This process is known as dielectric heating. Microwave ovens have evolved over the years and now come in various sizes and with a range of features. They are widely used for reheating leftovers, defrosting frozen foods, and quickly cooking a variety of meals. However, microwave ovens have also raised concerns over potential health risks and their impact on nutrition. Despite the debate, microwave ovens remain a widely used and essential kitchen appliance in many households worldwide.
