| | CDRH Consumer Information - Microwave Oven Radiation |
 | | Although heat is produced directly in the food, microwave ovens do not cook food from the "inside out." When thick foods like roasts are cooked, the outer layers are heated and cooked primarily by microwaves while the inside is cooked mainly by the slower conduction of heat from the hot outer layers. | | | Microwave cooking can be more energy efficient than conventional cooking because foods cook faster and the energy heats only the food, not the oven compartment. | | | Industry uses microwaves to dry and cure plywood, to cure rubber and resins, to raise bread and doughnuts, and to cook potato chips. |
