Microwave energy is a form of electromagnetic energy with wavelengths between infrared and radio waves.
When microwave energy is applied to a product, it interacts with the material at the molecular level. In their natural state, water molecules are randomly oriented.
As microwave energy penetrates the product, the positively and negatively charged regions of the water molecules continually attempt to align with the changing electromagnetic field. This rapid molecular movement creates heat within the product.
Because the heat is generated through interaction within the material, microwave technology provides a highly effective method for heating and processing a wide range of products.
