Microwave Heating Categories Your microwave has been tested and labelled to meet the government’s voluntary agreement on the reheating of pre-cooked food. The heating characteristics and output power levels of microwave ovens are usually calculated using a relatively large portion of food (a 1000 gram load, IEC 705) but many packs of pre-cooked food are sold in smaller packs, often about 350 grams.
Steam When you microwave food, steam is created as water in the food heats up and evaporates. Before Use The steam formed during microwave cooking is entirely safe. It has to escape from the microwave to prevent pressure from building up inside the oven. It does this through the vents on the back of the microwave and from around the door. Condensation As the steam cools, you may find the condensation gathers in small pools inside your microwave and on the work surface beneath the door and vents.
