    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

    A microwave oven or simply microwave is an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. [1] This induces polar molecules in the food to vibrate [ 2 ] and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating .

  3. Non-thermal microwave effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-thermal_microwave_effect

    Non-thermal microwave effects or specific microwave effects have been posited in order to explain unusual observations in microwave chemistry.The main effect of the absorption of microwaves by dielectric materials is a brief displacement in the permanent dipoles which causes rotational entropy.

    Specific microwave effects are those effects that cannot be (easily) emulated through conventional heating methods. Examples include: (i) selective heating of specific reaction components, (ii) rapid heating rates and temperature gradients, (iii) the elimination of wall effects, and (iv) the superheating of solvents.

    An industrial microwave tunnel oven for heating plastic parts prior to extrusion. Microwave heating, as distinct from RF heating, is a sub-category of dielectric heating at frequencies above 100 MHz, where an electromagnetic wave can be launched from a small dimension emitter and guided through space to the target.
