FAQ About Microwaves

• What is a microwave and how does it work? A microwave is a kitchen appliance that uses microwave radiation to heat and cook food. It works by emitting these microwaves, which excite the water molecules in the food, causing them to produce heat which cooks or reheats the food.
• What's the difference between a built-in, countertop, over-the-range, and microwave drawer?
• Built-In Microwave: Integrated into kitchen cabinetry, it offers a seamless look and saves counter space.
• Countertop Microwave: A standalone unit placed on the kitchen counter. It’s versatile and doesn't require any installation.
• Over-the-Range Microwave: Installed above the stove, it doubles as a microwave and a vent hood, saving space and providing dual functionality.
• Microwave Drawer: Installed within kitchen cabinets, typically beneath the countertop. Offers a sleek look and ergonomic access.
• Is it safe to microwave plastics? Always check the plastic container for microwave-safe labeling. Some plastics can release harmful chemicals when heated. If unsure, it's best to transfer food to a microwave-safe dish.
• Why does my microwave rotate my food while cooking? The rotation ensures even cooking. By moving the food, it ensures that microwaves penetrate from different angles, reducing the chance of cold spots.
• How often should I replace my microwave? While microwaves can last a long time, it's generally recommended to replace them every 10 years for safety and efficiency. However, if you notice any irregularities in performance or damage, consider replacing it sooner.
• Can I cook all types of food in a microwave? While many foods can be microwaved, some, like certain cuts of meats, are better suited for traditional cooking methods. Always consult a recipe or cooking guide for the best results.
• Is it harmful to stand near a microwave while it’s operating? Modern microwaves are designed to prevent any leakage of microwave radiation, making it safe to stand nearby. However, it's always a good idea to maintain a reasonable distance as a safety precaution.
• What is the wattage in microwaves and why does it matter? Wattage refers to the power of the microwave. Higher wattage microwaves cook food faster and more evenly than lower wattage ones. Always refer to the microwave's manual or label for its specific wattage.
• Why does my microwave make a popping sound sometimes? Popping sounds usually result from food reactions, especially if there’s a high-fat or liquid content. Make sure the food is microwave-safe, and always use a cover to prevent splatters.
• How do I clean my microwave? Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a mixture of water and vinegar. Heat a bowl of this mixture for a few minutes in the microwave to loosen grime, then wipe down. Always ensure the microwave is unplugged before any thorough cleaning.
