How Your Microwave Oven Works

The microwave oven has an electronic tube called a magnetron that produces microwaves, very short radio waves. The microwaves then pass through a wave-guide and into the oven cavity. The microwaves penetrate the food and cause water molecules within the food to vibrate extremely rapidly. This vibration causes considerable friction or heat between the water molecules resulting in a rapid rise in temperature. This type of heating is very efficient and the cooking time is therefore shorter than in a conventional oven. The rate of heating depends on the moisture content, shape, volume, and amount of food present. Metallic materials totally reflect microwaves. Non-metallic materials such as glass, paper, and plastics are

partially transparent to microwaves. Microwaves do not directly heat the oven walls and most cooking utensils because they do not absorb microwave energy. However, they frequently get very warm through being in direct contact with hot food.

Introducing the Beyond™ Microwave Oven

Your Beyond Microwave Oven delivers the ultimate ease of use and convenience in microwave cooking. The Beyond Microwave Oven is ideal for routine microwaving chores: warming your cup of coffee, reheating leftovers, defrosting that roast or baking potatoes and so on. But the Beyond Microwave Oven can do so much more.

The Beyond Microwave Oven is packed with advanced features, like "Scan and Learn" and the latest networking technology to take the guesswork out of microwave cooking. You won’t need to wonder anymore about the correct cooking time and power level. No more food that’s burned on the edges and frozen in the middle.

The Beyond ’s built-in intelligence allows you to automatically cook nearly any packaged food to perfection. Use the oven’s scanning wand to swipe the bar code on a package of microwaveable food and the Beyond Microwave Oven is instantly programmed for precisely the right power level and cooking time – even when the cooking requires defrosting, multiple power levels and varying cooking times.
