device, it uses microwaves set at 2,500 megahertz to heat food. The water, fat or sugar that is placed in the microwave absorbs the microwaves and is then heated. Food is able to be cooked evenly and quickly since the microwaves are able to penetrate food so fast. Nowadays it would be difficult to find a house that does not actually have one somewhere in it.
