Microwave is a kind of electromagnetic wave. Microwave ovens are composed of power supply, magnetron, control circuit and cooking cavity. But people still don’t know much about how to use microwave ovens. The following are the instructions for using microwave ovens that I have collected for everyone. You are welcome to learn from them and refer to them. I hope they will be helpful to you.

Part 1: Microwave Oven Instructions

User Operation and Maintenance Manual

Risk controversy:

The view that "microwaves cause cancer"

Because microwaves are a type of radiation, there is a wrong view that they can cause cancer. In fact, microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave, which is essentially the same thing as the radio waves, infrared rays, and visible light used in radios and telegraphs. The only difference between them is the frequency. The frequency of microwaves is higher than radio waves and lower than infrared rays and visible light. Electromagnetic waves in this frequency band do not cause cancer.

Although they are also called "radiation", microwaves are different from X-rays and radiation produced by radioactive isotopes. The latter two are more dangerous ionizing radiation, while microwaves are non-ionizing radiation, and the dangers of the two are not the same. Although X-rays are also electromagnetic waves, their frequency is much higher than that of microwaves, so their energy is also high. Radioactive isotopes emit particles during their decay, so they can cause cancer in organisms.

The harm caused by the microwave heating effect to the human body

The risk of the microwave oven is reflected in its heating ability, which can also cause harm to the human body.

A quality microwave oven uses an internal shielding device to reduce the leakage of microwave energy.

Scientific research has found the minimum microwave power that causes harm to the human body, and thus formulated the standard for microwave oven leakage power. For example, the regulations in the United States are that the power per square centimeter should not exceed 5 milliwatts at a distance of about 5 centimeters from the microwave oven; my country's standard is even stricter, 1 milliwatt. And the energy of microwaves weakens according to the square of the distance. Calculated as 1 milliwatt at 5 centimeters, it is reduced to one hundredth of a milliwatt at 50 centimeters. Therefore, as long as it is a qualified microwave oven product and is not damaged during use, it will not leak microwaves that can harm the human body.

The view that "microwave ovens cause food to produce carcinogens"

Regardless of the heating method, if the food is heated to too high a temperature, carcinogens may be produced. For example, if the temperature exceeds 120 degrees, the reaction between amino acids and carbohydrates may produce acrylamide, a suspected carcinogen, such as frying and baking various pasta, biscuits, snacks, French fries, potato chips, coffee beans and other foods; if the temperature exceeds 200 degrees, the Protein may produce heterocyclic amine carcinogens, such as when fish is fried and cooked; if the temperature exceeds 300 degrees, the fat in food will produce a large amount of benzopyrene carcinogens, such as kebabs, barbecues, and improperly cooked meat that may cause burnt time.

If the microwave oven is used for heating, it generally does not need to reach a temperature above 100 degrees; for high-moisture foods such as porridge, soup, milk, rice, and noodles, as long as the water is not evaporated, the food temperature will always remain Maintained at 100 degrees, no carcinogens will be produced. Therefore, normal use of microwave ovens will not produce carcinogens in food. Even according to relevant research, microwave ovens can effectively reduce the production of the above-mentioned carcinogens compared with traditional heating methods, especially burning, roasting, frying, etc.

The view that "microwave ovens cause plastic containers to release harmful substances"

Some plastics may release some harmful ingredients when heated. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined the amount of harmful substances that may be released into food from various plastic containers during normal microwave heating, requiring this amount to be less than one percent or even one thousandth of the harmful dose determined in animal experiments. 1. Only then can it be marked as "microwave-heatable". Therefore, those qualified plastic containers marked as "microwaveable" are quite safe. If you are worried, you can also use ceramic or glass containers.

Microwave oven safety accidents

According to investigations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), microwave oven safety accidents are often caused by improper use. The two most common types of accidents are:

1. Liquid overheating. Because the water does not flow during microwave heating, but the temperature only rises, it may not open even after it exceeds the boiling point, causing overheating. As long as there is a slight disturbance in the water at this time, it will boil violently and scald accidents may easily occur. The cleaner the container and the cleaner the water, the more likely accidents like this are to occur.

2. The egg explodes. Eggs cannot be heated in a microwave oven because overheating inside the egg will generate a lot of pressure. If the egg is disturbed by the outside world, the pressure will be released and it may explode.

The impact of microwave radiation on humans and animals

The amount of radiation in a microwave oven is very large, which can cause objects containing moisture and grease inside to generate heat to cook food, but The manufacturers of microwave ovens have taken safety measures in place. The amount of radiation to the human body outside the microwave oven is about the same as a 40W fluorescent tube, and has almost no impact on the human body. According to experts from the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association, Adair, a professor of physics at the University of Wisconsin in the United States, has been studying the effects of microwave radiation on small animals and humans for more than 25 years. She has conducted microwave chamber experiments on animals and people. As a result, animals appear very strange in the microwave chamber. Excitement, and the human feeling is about the same as enjoying the bright sunshine. She explained that although microwaves, X-rays and gamma rays are the same type of radiation, their quantum energies are millions of times different. She pointed out that the only way for microwaves to kill cells is to let them "heat to death" on their own, and the radiation leaked from microwave ovens cannot reach such an extent. It seems that microwave ovens do not harm human health.

Pros and Cons of Microwave Food

An article "Microwave food does more harm than good and is extremely harmful to health" was reported in a well-known domestic newspaper. The article proposed the disadvantages of microwave heating of food. Claims that food can be harmful to health or even cause cancer.

Many readers read it and discussed how harmful microwave food is to the body. Many Chinese experts have also expressed their opinions on this statement.

Microwave food refers to food cooked by heating in a microwave oven. Since the advent of microwave ovens in the 1940s, microwave ovens have been deeply integrated into people's daily lives. Using microwave ovens to heat food has many advantages, such as cleanliness, speed, and convenience. Therefore, more and more people have shown an attitude of approval towards microwave food and the use of microwave ovens. Data show that in the United States, the proportion of households using microwave ovens is as high as 90%. Even in China, where the economy is relatively backward, the market demand for microwave ovens is increasing rapidly year by year.

In today’s increasingly accelerating pace of life, quick and convenient microwave food has become a “hot cake” in the eyes of many people. However, in the past, an article about the dangers of microwave-heated food to human health caused microwave food to change from "hot cakes" to "stay away" in the eyes of many people. Does microwave food have the hazards mentioned in this article?

Microwave ovens have been used for many years, but there has been no test or statement showing that some people have harmed their health by eating food heated by microwaves. Even, there are only some theories about the damage caused by microwave leakage to the human body, but there is no factual proof.
