This can be said to be the biggest difference between the microwave oven and the microwave oven, and there is a great difference in heating principle between them. The barbecue tube in the microwave oven is a magnetron, which is a microwave generator, and can generate microwaves with a vibration frequency of 2.45 billion times per second. This invisible microwave can penetrate the food to a depth of 5cm, and make the water molecules in the food move with it. The intense movement generates a lot of heat energy, and the microwave heats the food from the inside out. Copper tubes or quartz tubes are widely used in the barbecue tubes of microwave ovens, which are difficult to cool after heating and are easy to cause burns; The thermal efficiency of quartz tube is not too high.

The light wave oven is also called light wave microwave oven. The barbecue tube of the light wave oven is changed from quartz tube or copper tube to halogen tube (i.e. light wave tube), which is heated by far infrared heating principle. After the power supply is turned on, the infrared component in the oven can generate a high temperature of 600℃-700℃ in a few seconds (the highest temperature of the induction cooker is 300℃), and then all the light energy is gathered together and reflected to the oven panel through imported energy-gathering reflective materials, so as to achieve the purpose of cooking food. The microwave oven also has fast cooling speed, higher heating efficiency and no scorching, thus ensuring the color of food.

Difference 2: Different scope of application.

Compared with the microwave oven, the microwave oven has a wider application range, and fried foods such as oil cakes and fried dough sticks are reheated; Reheat nut food; Reheat snacks, cookies and other foods; It is ok to reheat meat products. There are many taboos in general microwave ovens, which can only be used to heat cooked food.

Difference 3: the difference in cost.

Copper tubes used in microwave ovens are slightly cheaper, so many families can use simple, practical and affordable microwave ovens; The cost of the optical wave tube used in the optical wave furnace is only a few yuan more than that of copper tube or quartz tube, which is actually not very expensive.

Difference 4: differences in appearance characteristics

In fact, like the induction cooker we usually see, the optical wave furnace started in an open state; The microwave oven, like the disinfection cabinet, puts food inside to heat it. Relatively speaking, the use safety of optical wave furnace is higher.
