Never Use Your Microwave to: A note on the type of energy used by your Microwave Oven Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that transmit energy. When cooking, the microwave energy penetrates food to a depth of 4cm (1½ inches), causing its molecules to vibrate. The heat produced by this friction enables food to be heated, cooked or defrosted. How quickly a microwave oven cooks will depend on the size, quality and shape of the food being cooked.
