Many families now have microwave ovens, which are very convenient for heating. Some of them have barbecue functions and can be used to bake food, which makes people who want to buy an oven hesitate. The following will introduce the differences between ovens and microwaves so that everyone can better understand how to choose.

The difference between an oven and a microwave oven

An oven is a sealed electrical appliance used to bake food or dry products. It is divided into household appliances and industrial ovens. ?Household ovens can be used to process some pasta. Such as bread, pizza, egg tarts, cookies and other snacks. There are also ovens that can roast chicken. The resulting food is usually fragrant. ?Industrial oven is a kind of equipment used in industry to dry products. It has electricity and gas. It is also called oven, drying box, etc.

Microwave oven (microwave?oven/microwave), as the name suggests, uses microwaves to cook rice and vegetables. A microwave oven is a modern cooking stove that uses microwaves to heat food. Microwave is a type of electromagnetic wave. Microwave ovens are composed of power supply, magnetron, control circuit and cooking cavity. The power supply provides a high voltage of approximately 4,000 volts to the magnetron. Under the excitation of the power supply, the magnetron continuously generates microwaves, which are then coupled into the cooking cavity through the waveguide system. There is a rotatable stirrer near the entrance of the cooking cavity. Because the stirrer is a fan-shaped metal, it reflects microwaves in all directions when rotated, so the microwave energy can be evenly distributed in the cooking cavity. The power range of microwave ovens is generally 500 to 1000 watts. This heats the food.

The difference between an oven and a microwave oven is in function:

Home ovens can be used to process some pasta. Such as bread, pizza, egg tarts, cookies and other snacks. There are also ovens that can roast chicken. The resulting food is usually fragrant. ?Industrial oven is a kind of equipment used in industry to dry products. It has electricity and gas. It is also called oven, drying box, etc.

The principle of microwave heating is simply due to the movement of polar molecules of water in food. And the interaction between adjacent molecules produces a phenomenon similar to friction, which increases the temperature of the water, therefore, the temperature of the food also rises. Food heated by microwaves is also heated internally, so that the entire object is heated evenly and the temperature rises quickly.

The difference between an oven and a microwave oven lies in the precautions for use:

Microwave ovens do not easily color the surface of food. You can apply seasonings on the surface of the food before cooking to make it dark brown. . At the end of heating, leaving the food for a period of time or adding some seasonings to some foods can achieve satisfactory results that cannot be achieved by heating. If the food has a hard skin, it must be peeled off before it can be microwaved.

Before baking any food, the oven needs to be preheated to the specified temperature to meet the baking time on the recipe. It takes about 10 minutes to preheat the oven. If it is not enough, it may not reach the specified temperature. If the oven is preheated and left empty for too long, it may also affect the service life of the oven.
