Bioceramic enamel in the microwave: what is it, properties and benefits

A microwave has become a familiar and necessary element of a modern kitchen. A useful unit can perform a variety of actions in a short time, which usually takes a hostess a lot of time.

Manufacturers of devices are not only concerned with forcing microwave waves to do the work of a cook. The main task of the creators is to do everything so that the use of microwaves is safe for human health.

It depends on the materials used in the inner chamber, because they are constantly exposed to high temperature and infrared radiation.
The surfaces of modern furnaces are made of stainless steel or coated with different compositions:

• special enamel resistant to heat;
• acrylic;
• bioceramics.

We will get acquainted with the last of the listed substances, which are very popular among manufacturers and consumers of microwave ovens.

Composition and properties of bioceramics used in the microwave

Enamel, called bioceramic, is a young material. It appeared as a result of the latest technological advances, it is no coincidence that it often called a middle name - nanoceramics.

To obtain enamel, a heavy-duty alloy of several chemical elements was used:

• titanium;
• silicon;
• calcium.

Scientists have found proportions that allowed create an enamel surprisingly suitable for microwaves.

Reference. The bioceramics layer deposited on the walls of the microwave oven does not absorb infrared waves during heating, but returns them inside the furnace.

In this way, each panel becomes an additional source of radiation, has a uniform and comprehensive effect on products.

Why bioceramics are considered the best option for the inner surface of the microwave

An alloy of titanium, calcium and silicon was originally used in medicine, where it proved to be in the best way.

In the production of kitchen stoves, the composition has been used for only a decade. But this time was enough to make sure: today bioceramic enamel is the best coating.
Such a high rating is explained by many advantages of the substance.

Security

Alloy generated radiation not harmful for humans due to the minimum range of infrared waves. The indicator from 4 to 14 microns, which has this enamel, coincides with the radiation of the person himself.

Product Benefits

By baking meat, fish, vegetables, baked goods, bioceramics creates conditions for maximum preservation of vitamins and other beneficial substances. Thanks to enamel made of nanoceramic, there are more vitamins than during ordinary frying or cooking.

Energy saving

The ability not to absorb but to repel waves leads to the fact that the walls of the chamber are less heated. All temperature is spent on heat treatment of products, and it is produced much faster than in microwave with other panels. In this way, a working microwave does not increase electricity bills.

Practicality

A layer of modern alloy deposited on the walls of the device, increases their durability, protects from dents, scratches and other damageshaving a mechanical nature. it increases the term of use, provides trouble-free operation of the device.

Another advantage of such furnaces is ease of care. Bioceramics turned out to be non-stick material. There is almost no fat left on it, and when it appears in small quantities, the walls can be cleaned easily.

Negative aspects of bioceramic enamel

Is it possible to find cons of nanoceramics?
We’ll answer right away: they were not found in the material itself.
The disadvantages of microwaves with bioceramics are the following.

• Rare use in microwave with convection. Customers who want to buy just such a device will have to look for the right model.
• A unique alloy increases the cost of microwaves compared to other stoves. But such an analysis is not entirely correct. It's important that value for money in this case is optimal.
