MICROWAVEOVENUSE A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food. The following guidelines may not apply to convection or combination cooking, because the magnetron is not used during convection cooking.
