Does a microwave use electricity? Most people hear that the power consumption of a microwave oven is about 1,000 watts, and they think that a microwave oven must consume a lot of electricity. Although buying a microwave oven is more expensive, it is just a one-time investment, but the electricity bill will be too much for regular use in the future. In fact, this is a misunderstanding about microwave ovens. In addition to saving time and providing convenience, microwave ovens are also an energy-saving product. First of all, the microwave in the microwave oven only heats food containing moisture and grease, and it does so almost simultaneously inside and outside. Furthermore, the microwave does not heat the air, the container or the utensil itself. Compared with the previous traditional method, the heat loss is less and the cooking speed is faster. quick. Judging from the thermal conductivity of various heating methods, gas is 55%, coal stove is 30%, electric stove wire is 60%, and microwave oven is as high as 95%. Microwave oven has the highest efficiency in energy utilization. For the Galanz WP750B microwave oven, its rated power consumption is 1100 watts and its rated output power is 750 watts. A family of four uses it to make three representative dishes and one soup in microwave recipes (stir-fried beef, steamed salmon, stir-fried cabbage heart, and three delicacies soup). After testing, the power consumption is only 0.35 degrees. Under the conditions of equivalent energy consumption and equivalent consumption cost, a comparative test was conducted on the same weight of heated food. The results showed that the power-saving and energy-saving effect of microwave ovens is quite obvious. It saves 65% more energy than electric stoves and 40% more energy than gas. It seems that not only does a microwave oven consume no electricity, it can also save you money.
