The Magnetron is the most important appliance part of a microwave oven. It is the source of microwave heating in a microwave oven.
The operating principle
of the microwave oven is as follows: the magnetron converts electrical energy in a high electric field, forcing
the moving water molecules, which leads to warm the product. The Magnetron, creating an electrical field, sends it to the waveguide in a
working chamber in which a product containing water (water is a dipole, because the water molecule is composed of positive and negative charges).
The effects of external electric field are to produce results that are beginning to polarize the dipoles, ie dipoles are starting to turn.
Turning the dipoles and the forces of friction, this turns into heat.
The main advantage
of a microwave heating is quick cooking with full preservation of food and biological value of the product.
A microwave has high efficiency and does not adversely affect the environment.
The disadvantages
of a microwave heating should be ambiguity in determining the time for cooking complex dishes with different moisture
content of each of the components, as well as absence crisp crust in the cooking process.
