The Technology Behind A Microwave Is Nothing Less Than Brilliant

I just can’t live without a microwave! And why I am saying this is because last week only, my microwave stopped working. However, I thank God for microwave repair service in Delhi NCR that send their representatives at the earliest to fix all kinds of issues. I also dialled few numbers here and there and got my microwave back in the running condition in a day’s time. I am a working woman whose life seems to be dependent on home appliances, especially my microwave for food. And this is when I got to know the working behind the microwave and how to take care of it. A microwave oven uses radio waves at a specifically set frequency to agitate water molecules in food. As these water molecules get increasingly agitated, they begin to vibrate at the atomic level and generate heat. This heat is what actually cooks food in the oven. Because all particles in the food are vibrating and generating heat at the same time, food cooked in the microwave cooks much more swiftly than food cooked in a conventional oven where heat must slowly travel from the outside surface of the food inward.The same radio waves that cook your food pass harmlessly through plastics, glass and ceramics. It is this characteristic that keeps plastic plates from melting and glasses from exploding. It is also this feature of microwaves that makes them so energy efficient; they heat only the food and nothing more.Metals, on the other hand, reflect these radio waves, a characteristic very cleverly put to use in the walls of the microwave such that no waves escape and cook anyone in the kitchen.

So, if you love food, love your microwave and if you love it, then know about it and take care of it.

Microwave Issues Are Repairable So That Your Dearest Appliance Stays For Long

The microwave oven was patented in 1946 and the first microwave hit the market by 1947. The first microwave, called the Radarange, was 6 feet tall and weighed over 750 pounds. When the microwave initially hit the market, it was used mainly in restaurants, railroad cars and ocean liners, where large quantities of food needed to be cooked quickly. The first version of the microwave was not at all conducive to a kitchen setting as its expense and large size made it unpopular for the average citizen. That was, until the Tappan Stove Company came up with a smaller, less expensive version of the Microwave.

 Many businesses realized the potential of a smaller sized microwave and hoped that it would take off in households around the country. In 1955, Tappan Stove Company put its first microwave on the market. It was 24 inches and a little less cost wise. Ten years later, by 1965, Tappan Stove Company put on the market the first combination conventional range and microwave oven. By 1975, the sales of the microwave oven exceeded gas range ovens for the first time and by 1976, the microwave was in 60% of homes. Despite the success of the microwave oven, alternatives were always present and still remain. Alternatives to the microwave include convection ovens, toaster ovens and the stovetops. Other less known alternatives include the turbo oven and other alternatives are being produced to this day. But microwave reigns the modern day kitchens and as soon as people face any issue with their dearest appliance, they look for  microwave repair services in Delhi NCR.

A common myth is that microwave cooking is unsafe and unhealthy and you actually lose vitamins in microwave cooking that you would not lose using microwave alternatives. But this has been proven to be untrue by the FDA who admits that microwave cooking is safe, provided it is done in the correct manner.

Microwave Is The VIP Of Every Modern Kitchen

It is believed that microwave is among the greatest inventions of the 1900’s. The microwave makes cooking easier and better. It is considered to be a VIP of the kitchen and has become an indispensable part of new age kitchens. Microwave cooking makes for faster and easier to clean up meals, ideal for the working woman. Studies show that as the female work force increased the consumption of frozen rather than fresh foods due to convenience, the use of microwaves increased, creating newer industries. A direct correlation existed between the increase in sales of the microwave oven and an increase in the home care repair and processed food industries. Pre-cooked meals and snacks like microwavable popcorn and microwavable dinners became popular for people on the run.

Prior to the microwave, stoves and ovens were the primary way food was cooked. This method of cooking food was the norm and was incredibly time consuming. However, microwave was a significant invention that became an important piece of equipment in the kitchen and continues to be a necessary appliance to this day. Despite how romanticized the notion sounds, the invention of the microwave oven was not a stroke of genius with a team of engineers and inventors set out to come up with a faster way of cooking food. Unlike most inventions of the time, the invention of the microwave did not come out of necessity or an eagerness to save time and labour (though that was its benefit). Rather, the invention of the microwave was largely an accident made by Percy Spencer. The invention of the microwave came directly as a result of the invention of the magnetron. Putting aside its interesting history, I would like to mention that microwaves work on the basis of two main control and the high-voltage sections.
