Power

The cooking power (wattage) of a microwave determines how quickly and efficiently your food will be cooked. Higher watts cook faster, however lower-end models can still satisfy the majority of requirements. We recommend selecting a model with at minimum 1,000 watts. Microwaves that have less power can cook unevenly and require longer to cook food than microwaves with higher wattages.

The magnetron in the oven emits microwave radiation, which is used to cook and heat the food. Microwaves are a form of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, and have been found not to cause cancer in long-term rodent studies. Contrary to conventional ovens which emit high-energy radiation which can cause burns, the microwaves generated by microwave ovens are emitted through the oven door and are not a safety risk.

Uneven heating in a microwaved dish can be caused by the various rates of energy absorption from different components of the food, as well as through the vibrating. You can eliminate these issues by stirring the food, or using a rotating turning table that rotates the dish as it cooks.

Some built-in microwaves can be positioned inside cabinets to create an elegant look and allow easy access.

Microwave ovens heat food using electromagnetic waves of very short wavelengths that vibrate molecules directly inside the cooking chamber. The technology was developed following World War II using radar technology, which was employed during the war. The radiation emitted by the microwave isn't ionizing and does not pose any health risks when the oven door is closed and secured properly.
