Microwave ovens are wonders of science. We will talk about its history but first, we need to think for a bit why exactly we should really feel blessed. Think about the ancient times when people did not know how to light a fire. Humans were merely waiting for the divine cause of the fire by lightning. In Europe, the peasant accidentally created fire during their tool making. Then the ancient Greeks learned to use lenses to light fire using rays of the sun.
Five thousand years ago Arctic North American Eskimos used quartz against iron pyrites. The matchmaking process expedited after the discovery of phosphorus in 17th century Europe. With time people learned to make efficient matches in Europe and then America. Now, we use all kinds of technology to cook food. Some technologies do not even need fire to cook. The microwave oven is one such technology where food is cooked by use of a radiation process. Let us take a look at the whole microwave oven system.

We will give credits to the person who discovered the microwave oven. Surprisingly enough, like all the other fire lighting technology that created fire by accident, this microwave oven technology was discovered by accident. At the edge of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th American engineer, Percy Spencer gets the credits. One day he had a chocolate bar in his pocket when started the magnetron in the lab. To his surprise, the chocolate melted from the heat generated by the magnetron. From there he created an oven.
The microwave oven is different from a regular gas oven. The gas ovens take a lot of time to cook because the cooking process is divided into three stages - preheat stage, cooking stage, and standing stage. Besides, you have to carefully balance the moisture within the oven otherwise the food will become dry or can even burn to a crisp. But a microwave oven does all these within a very small amount of time. By the use of micro-sized but very powerful radio waves, microwave ovens cook food evenly and really fast. This way it can save a lot of energy. It can cook meat many times faster than the usual oven. The reason is that it can skip the preheating process because it can heat the food and the inside of the oven right away.
There is a magnetron, a generator of the microwave, inside the microwave oven and it takes electricity from the power outlet and then converts it to powerful radio waves. Then magnetron sends these waves through a channel to the compartment that holds the food. On the other hand, the food sits on a continuously spinning plate. As a result, the waves go through all parts of the food and cook the food evenly. Within the food compartment, the waves keep bouncing and reflecting, and cooking the food. These microwaves vibrate the molecules of the food and the food quickly becomes hotter. With specific time the food gets cooked.
