MICROWAVE OVEN USE A magnetron in the 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. ■■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
