In fact, the fundamental difference between an oven and a microwave oven is the heating principle. It is understood that the oven is heated by the thermal radiation of the heating tube, which belongs to the traditional heating method. Food is heated from the outside to the inside, while microwave ovens are used for cooking, and food is heated from the inside to the outside. The two heating methods are essentially different, one is electric heating, and the other is electromagnetic wave heating, which leads to different baking effects.

2, the heating effect is different

There is also a heat energy effect when the microwave of the microwave oven penetrates food, which will accelerate the loss of water and nutrition of food while heating. Anyone who has used a microwave oven should know that it is fast and convenient to heat things with a microwave oven.

The oven is used to bake food. Although the microwave oven can also make cakes, roast chicken wings, pizza and so on. It is difficult to achieve the excellent baking effect of the oven. The oven is heated from the outside to the inside, so the ingredients near the heating pipe cook quickly.

3. Different emphases

Microwave ovens are mainly used to heat food quickly, which can save a lot of time.

Generally, it takes twice as long to heat food in an oven as in a microwave oven, and it consumes a lot of electricity. It is only suitable for baking food, such as bread, cake, pizza, barbecue and many other delicacies.

Extended data:

Microwave is an electromagnetic wave. The microwave oven consists of power supply, magnetron, control circuit and cooking cavity. The power supply provides a high voltage of about 4000 volts to the magnetron. Under the excitation of the power supply, the magnetron continuously generates microwaves, which are coupled into the cooking cavity through the waveguide system. There is a rotatable agitator near the entrance of the cooking cavity. Because the agitator is a fan-shaped metal, it can reflect microwaves in all directions after rotation, so it can evenly distribute microwave energy in the cooking cavity, thus heating food. The power range of microwave oven is generally 500 ~ 1000 watt.

Oven is a sealed electrical appliance used to bake food or dry products, which can be divided into household appliances and industrial ovens. Home ovens can be used to process some pasta. Industrial oven is a kind of equipment used for drying products in industry, which has electricity and gas, and is also called oven and drying box.

Electric oven is an electric appliance that uses the radiant heat of electric heating elements to bake food. We can use it to make roast chicken, roast duck, toast and cake. According to the different needs of baking food, the temperature of electric oven can generally be adjusted within the range of 50-250℃.
