How to choose a microwave

The microwave oven is indispensable for accelerated toasting, warming up food. It is not recommended to cook in it, buy a better induction hob, a set of appropriate steel utensils with a thickened bottom.

What is a microwave oven

Microwave ovens do not differ a great variety. In the case of European goods will have to pay for the brand. The Internet is full of stories: the harm of microwave( microwave) radiation is obvious - the truth is high. Cellular communication, computer wireless protocols like Wi-Fi work at the same frequency. Transmitter power is limited in order to avoid interference with the safety of people. American doctors do not advise putting a laptop on your knees when working on Wi-Fi. How to choose a microwave oven that does not bring harm?

The unit on the control panel contains a pair of knobs: mechanical knobs, touch controls. The meaning is reduced to the facts:

1. The option of loading the program, including the combination for microwave ovens with a grill, is provided.
2. The device operates on a set timer.

Let us give three proven, one unproved microwave factors harmful:

1. microwave radiation is harmful to health. Special allowances are paid working with antennas, other radio equipment. Even cell phones are not recommended.
2. UHF radiation causes ionization of air: no useful negative ions appear - harmful positive ones. Radiating apparatus has a negative effect. Computers too. The latter emit a small part of the supplied energy, the microwave oven - the lion's share of power, turns into radiation. The device intentionally ionizes the air. Harmful, reduces immunity.
3. microwave radiation changes the molecular lattice, will have a fully studied effect on products. Scientists have tried to grow a snowflake from water that has been heated in a microwave oven - they got something ugly.

Before choosing a microwave oven for cooking food, think, perhaps, it is better to buy a convection oven, a slow cooker. However, radio waves are suitable for heating food. The duration of exposure is small, you can reconcile. The speed of heating the food microwave oven will be compared to the maximum. The inertia of the process is zero. With other equipment:

• Cooking surfaces first heat the pan - they have a long warm-up time. We'll have to use the extra dishes.
• Multicooker is not intended to warm. We'll have to wash the bowl once again - it’s absolutely impossible to eat from it.
• Regarding aerogrill: put the plate( gold rims are not an obstacle), but the process will be long.

Kitchen equipment warms the surface of the food. The microwave oven - in the people microwave - acts differently.

How the microwave oven works

The choice of microwave ovens made in post-war America. Legend has it: an engineer accidentally found a chocolate bar in a pocket melted by high frequency electromagnetic waves. Gradually, the scientist came to the microwave device.

Another legend says: devices were invented in Germany. One of them was the microwave oven: when the division went to America.2.4 and 5 GHz radiation is not used in professional communication - absorbed by water, steam.

That's why Wi-Fi, cellular communication( the latter is not fully) work in the named ranges. Such waves are not needed due to high losses. Scientists have found out: water molecules, due to mysterious features, suck out wave energy. The molecule has a magnetic moment, for which the field grabs, starts to randomly rotate two hydrogen and oxygen, held together by an unbreakable bond.

This is interesting! Scientists conducted an experiment on the freezing of water passing through the microwave compartment. It turned out: the growth of regular crystals-snowflakes is broken. It is time to recall Tesla's theories: The Universe consists of a set of harmonic oscillations. The impact of electromagnetic waves disrupts natural processes.

When turned on, the smallest particles start to move very quickly: they instantly heat food by volume. The process is due to the significant water content. Put the biscuits inside, the heating process will be slow. At whom there is an induction hob at home, I guessed why it is impossible to put metal dishes, gold-rimmed plates inside. In the conductor Foucault currents are induced: quickly raise the temperature. As a result, the golden rim just flies away. In the convection oven this does not happen.

Microwave is suitable for heating food. Just put a plate on the rotating table, take out the finished warm dish. Buy a small microwave oven to provide a table with one minute of warm food. If the volume of the plate is large - a maximum of 3 minutes is required. It will turn out faster, more efficiently than with the use of other equipment. Make the choice of microwave oven, when the benefits of it becomes maximum.

Features of the

microwave ovens Please note: the dishwasher must not be placed on the edge of the table, the door opens downwards - the microwave oven is allowed to be placed like this. Most models open sideways, hinges are on the left. Sometimes there is no place to put the equipment. Hang on the wall or windowsill will help stand under the microwave oven. It sounds loud, often so called two huge corners that support the device. Choose the size of fasteners under the dimensions of the microwave oven. It only concerns the depth. Width plays little role. The main thing is that the strength does not disappoint.

Heard about the metal grid on the glass to protect against radiation - was considered a joke. This would have been the case if there were no surcharges to specialists working with all-around stations. These are locators showing on TV: a green beam runs on a circular glass monitor. Ask the staff if anyone will climb up while radiation is in progress. Power barely reaches 2-3 kW.This( maybe two times less) is in the passport on the microwave oven Vitek. Students do laboratory work on antennas( for example, horn).Written in safety manual:

• Do not stand in the way of radiation, do not look inside while the device is working. It threatens with various consequences, including blindness.

The meat perfectly fries the unpretentious Supra microwave oven, without taking precautions: in the device when the door is opened, the execution of the program stops immediately. Break the rule by cutting a protective mesh with the glass - fry with the chicken. The best way to check the device is to put the phone in the switched off device( the cord in the outlet), close the door, call. The signal does not pass - a great microwave oven. In most devices, the phone is ringing.

Why you need a microwave

The advantages of microwave ovens

Microwave oven safe from the point of view of fire. It would be better to look at the nightstand than the tile in the hostel.

The microwave oven will not cause a fire. A mica covering will break through - a strong noticeable crash will be heard, will attract attention.

The second advantage of microwave ovens is heated. Special containers are produced for this purpose. The famed "Du Pont" recently introduced new types of polymers at the Interplastic 2015 exhibition. The conditions are comfortable. We talked about the dangers of microwave ovens for health through the product. During the warm-up damage is not.

Microwave ovens are quiet. If you take aerogrill - devices great buzz because of the presence inside the fan. Regarding microwaves, toast cooler is purely symbolic, low noise. Asynchronous table motor - promotes peace. You can hear a steady hum, bells after the end of the process.

The microwave oven works automatically, rarely burns food when heated, as the convection oven will turn off according to the program. This is not the case with most cookers. If the soup will warm up a little longer - no big deal compared to a burning pan. There are nuances: you can not use dishes made of metal, even with the finish of it. Foucault currents are induced along the thickness of the conductor, decorative elements explode. In the microwave, eggs and bottles explode.

The heating of food is relatively uniform: the table rotates. In the convection oven the top strives to burn, the bottom is cold. Regarding forced convection, the modes should be set sparing. From the convection oven, the plates are covered with a small network of cracks due to uneven heating. For heating, we put dishes with any finish, the temperature must be loyal, below the “Self-cleaning” mode. Plus a convection oven unlike a microwave oven: the capacious bowl of the device stores heat. A plate of soup is 10-20 minutes in the off device, while the owner deigns to pay attention. The food warms up.

Comfortable microwave inline halogen lamps. Models know how to make toasts. You can fry without butter in the convection oven: heated sandwiches are good.

How to choose a microwave

Power and dimensions of the microwave oven.

. The editors recommend buying a good microwave oven for heating purposes, making toasts. Power, dimensions are not important. Choose models with a rotating table( devices are in stores and without this option).It is easy to check: you remove tempered glass, there are several wheels on the perimeter( at least three).In the presence of bread crumbs under the tray, a characteristic crunch is heard - it cannot be considered a malfunction. Clean the working compartment.

Microwave Oven Reduced power reduces speed. Get a slightly lower dose of 2.4 GHz with food. When using the appliance from the kitchen is better to leave. Not every microwave oven will provide security in terms of air ionization factors, microwave radiation.

Wall-mounted installation of a microwave oven

Sometimes people prefer to hang the purchase on the wall - to save space. In this case, buy mounts for the microwave. Each company produces accessories only for its own products. Important parameters are:

• The maximum mass of the microwave oven, which is supported by fastening.
• Installation Dimensions.

The dimensions of the microwave oven must comply. Some mounts form a limited shelf: they represent two large parts of metal. If you have a knack, hang each microwave oven. Not everyone is meant for this. For example, note the microwave Supra device: screws stick out on the bottom wall in convenient places. There is no niche under the runners. This microwave can be hung.

Try on the price. It may be more profitable to buy powerful corners, fittings separately. Plus: you can drill, fasten anywhere. At the bottom of the microwave is empty space at the corners. Disassemble the engine compartment, remove the side of the electronic( where the magnetron), determine the location of the future fasteners. You can put the microwave on the mount without screws, but not necessary. In the store, turn the purchase upside down, assess the presence of the installation elements.

Please note: on the Yandex Market there is no opportunity to get an idea about the possibility of mounting on the wall. You will have to search the Internet yourself in order to determine the suitability of wall mounting.

What firm to take the microwave oven

In Russian-speaking sources, sales are not summarized. It is difficult to determine the preferences of the buyer. Some recommend buying an inverter microwave oven, others complain: the cooking process is delayed. To regulate the power of the magnetron pulse repetition frequency, it is necessary to estimate the temperature. This is occupied by an infrared sensor, readings reflect the state of the food directly. In order not to overheat, the microwave oven carefully waits until products with inertial properties reach the condition.

Regarding the manufacturer: in some ratings it is recommended to buy a Vitek microwave oven, the products are differentiated simply by price. In other places other criteria are used. We trust the experience of the owners. In the network, part of the feedback is openly bought, you only have to watch the negative ones. Information is fragmented, there is no special portal. We believe that there is nothing wrong with buying a cheap Supra microwave oven; we recommend leaving the kitchen at work. Do not forget to ground the device correctly.

When choosing a microwave oven, read carefully the forums. Clear obviously advertising posts, try to make your own opinion.

Cyber ​​Monday and microwaves

Last January Cyber ​​Monday, vacuum cleaners and microwave ovens in total accounted for 10.5% of sales - quite a lot. They would set the task differently: not what microwave oven is better to buy, and when it is more profitable to do it! Prices for household appliances shopping reached 50%.The year before last, the price of accessories was 8% of the usual face value. Cyber ​​Monday is a great deal.

Cyber ​​Monday originates from the United States, was held after Black Friday. Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November, the next day there are big traffic jams. The holiday in honor of Squanto from a religious turned into a state - on Monday, employees return to work, at the same time the shops begin the season of pre-Christmas discounts. In Russia, the idea to hold a Cyber ​​Monday was announced by the owners of Wikimart in December 2012, the ACIT participating companies pleased the buyer with low prices in January.

In 2015, the local government opened trades a little earlier. Most of the association members placed discounts on the counters at exactly 00:00.Stores extended the stock until Tuesday. Cyber ​​Monday past was already the fifth in a row. I didn’t manage to get electronics and household appliances on this holiday - I’ll have to wait for the next discount season. Cyber ​​Monday takes place in Russia later than in the United States. The goods need to be delivered across the ocean - it takes a month.

Representatives of ACIT, volunteers from among online stores participate in the action. Remember: pay for shipping, in the case of smartphones - justified. The discount was 15%.Read the full report on specialized sites. We continue the consideration of microwave ovens.

Where to buy a microwave oven, how to choose

We recommended to take the Moulinex for the first time, a microwave oven for 3000 rubles - you can start exploring the technology. Expensive, but when the family starts to heat the plates, you will quickly understand - the equipment was bought for a reason. Microwave AEG - the choice of professionals. There is a grill, much more. No one will convince: the gizmo is better than an induction hob with a convection electric oven. The price is not much more. True fried chickens are better in aerogrill, no one will convince gourmands: they are not used in the US microwave.

Regarding the place of purchase of the microwave. If Eldorado is far away( any hardware store), take it online. Delivery costs 700 rubles maximum. Bring to the door, call the intercom. Regarding the manufacturer, you will get the Sharp microwave oven for 3,000 rubles, or take it more expensive, the difference in quality. Many sites languish under the yoke of excess information about interior decoration( ceramics, steel, enamel).We recommend looking at security."Kaiser" is a microwave oven for pros, as well as AEG are German marks. Pay for the name. Experts say: Americans work better, Asians. The first ones are understandable, the second ones are due to competition. Europe is inclined to charge money for a well-known name to pay for skilled craftsmen of technological lines( descendants of monopolies).

microwave oven Sanyo is the same as Panasonic( since April 2, 2012).Please note: famous brands are owned by large companies.

Novelties: accessories for microwave ovens

In a new steamer-pressure cooker in a microwave oven, you can make a sponge cake in 5 minutes, it takes one hour and three quarters. It seemed so revolutionary - I had to translate the text from a foreign language. What is important is not the choice of a microwave oven, but what to deliver. Readers will be happy for inventors.

Attention attracted utensils for the microwave. Unusual, cooking will be safer. Not any dish for the microwave - changing the cooking process.

The effect of fast cooking is achieved in a pressure cooker by achieving high pressure - it was decided to transfer it to the world of microwave ovens. In the traditional version, the aggregates are incompatible. A pressure cooker is a saucepan with a sealed lockable lid. When cooking, the pressure inside is growing rapidly.

The main task is to create a solid pressure cooker body to hold power. In parallel, the temperature increases faster. For microwave ovens, the pressure cooker did not fit completely: metal objects should not be placed inside. If we take such elements as the decoration of plates with a gold rim - due to Foucault's currents, the rims quickly warmed up, exploded inside the working chamber of the microwave. Regarding large objects( spoons) due to the reduction in the distance to the supply waveguide that goes to the food compartment, given that it covers the mica for microwave, a discharge is quickly formed by reducing the spark gap. The feeling that Zeus is sharpened inside the microwave oven, shows anger.

The problem is that a grounded metal does not allow high-frequency waves to pass through. Half of the power will pass through the barrier, minus gone to the wrath of Zeus. Metal pressure cooker can not be placed inside the microwave oven.

How did you achieve superiority abroad in the case of a microwave oven? Made a pressure cooker from the latest durable polymer. As a result of the reddish color, the pot can withstand working pressure without difficulty, reduces the cooking time drastically by placing it inside the microwave oven. The accessory is passive, does not consume energy. Everything makes a microwave oven. Waves easily pass through plastic, usually warm up food. Further on, the walls of the pressure cooker begin to hold steam: the pressure is growing rapidly.

Water shock absorbs microwave power at 2.4 GHz. Steam inside the boiler becomes an additional factor in temperature increase. Allow to cook faster. Pressure cooker will allow for microwave ovens to reduce the harm of microwave radiation. The negative effect grows in proportion to time. The biscuit in the microwave oven is prepared twice as fast - the characteristics of the blood will suffer little. We refer to the research of European scientists.

Need a microwave oven with a grill - pay 34 British pounds sterling( just over 3200 rubles), cook with minimal harm to health, using a pressure cooker. To search, use the English name microwave pressure cooker. Reheat using microwaves. Another device is suitable. Warn: for secured! Called oven with microwave function.

The oven with microwave function

The oven with microwave function is an attempt to combine two devices in one package. The cost of ovens with microwave function starts from 50 thousand rubles. But the design does not disappoint - the designers tried their best.

Reminds roster. Inside lies the microwave generator - magnetron. Energy is taken from two sources. With ovens on the heating element are familiar. Advantages:

1. Cook without using microwaves - the process saves health. The device described above cannot be used. The unit is not intended for such purposes: badly passes heat. It will interfere with the cooking process. A traditional pressure cooker, placed inside, will serve the purpose of reducing the cooking time. Steel conducts heat well. The main thing is not to forget: there must be protective mechanisms. The plastic pressure cooker described above has a safety valve. Will save buyers from an accident.
   

   Oven with the function of the microwave oven

2. The advantages of microwaves to our services when you need to warm up. The magnetron does not know about inertia, in the first second the food receives a dose of heat. The process goes in volume: the microwave oven is unique. No other type of equipment can quickly raise the temperature of a meal. In addition, it is caused by the fact that the waves penetrate through the food, keeping it absorbed only by water. From these considerations, the frequency of operation of the microwave oven is selected.

microwave ovens came to the market in 1946 - the legacy of Germany. Let's return to multifunctional ovens.

Inside a baking tray mounted on runners: the device can not only be an oven, it is necessary to choose the right pan. They say aluminum is required: it warms up more evenly, baking comes better. But washing is difficult:

In the canteens, aluminum pans were used because they were light. You can put a lot on a large piece of iron, easily raised. Aluminum is not so scratched, falling - bends a little. Important when laying bread forms. In a bakery with steel baking trays, it is difficult to load a cart going to the oven. Remove the hot bread - the trouble.

We will select the oven with the microwave function without any problems on the Yandex Market. Go to the section "Built-in household cabinets."Click "Match" without changing anything. Put a checkbox under the “Microwave Function” check in the box opposite “Yes” - the program will remove unnecessary, you can look around.

Microwave oven is not numerous: there were 86 models. Manufacturers marked in gray do not produce microwave ovens. Adorn for the uniformity of the interface. Of the remaining known are: "Bosch", "Electrolux", "Samsung", "Zanussi", "Miele".Other brands in the market recently, brand research offer readers their own. We do not exclude that the famous manufacturers of furnaces with microwave is not in the register of the Yandex-e-catalog electronic catalog.

Examples of the selection of microwave power, other parameters resulted. Described the verification of the protection of the device in terms of leakage of high-frequency waves. They gave extracts from the standard for radiation standards. They did everything to ensure reliable serving of the microwave oven.

The microwave oven does not bring health benefits. But stupid to discard the speed of the microwave. It is recommended to buy special accessories to reduce the cooking time, to acquire devices that reduce the negative effect to a minimum.

Modern technologies in microwave ovens

Inverter control is a loud slogan on the lips of dealers. The implementation of the method consists in the operation of the furnace in the usual for all mode, set temperature, time. Changes are spasmodic, power is graded discretely by steps. More often than not more than three. Implemented with a timer. Certain gears on the reverse side of the mechanism commute in the sequence defined by the programmer components of the microwave oven.

The target value power is obtained at the expense of each period of the timer turnover: it is filled with high-frequency oscillations for a part of the cycle. The duration depends on how much time the magnetron will emit. While the generator of high-frequency oscillations is silent, the temperature inside the working chamber is trying to come to equilibrium due to radiation, conductivity - the essence of the microwave oven operation in the mode of generation of microwaves.

The inverter is taken for business - there are more power gradations. Changes seem continuous - an illusion, in most cases, this approach is enough. As a result, it is impossible to burn food in the compartment, there will be no unheeded places. The infrared sensor receives data from one point, the table rotates. The line traversed by the vizier describes a circle. Made for uniformity. Regarding the grill when the table is standing: the infrared radiation of the lamps is working, not the magnetron. We do not know if the sensors are monitoring.

Microwave ovens complex devices. Microwave diodes are not used. The two features mentioned are:

1. Quartz grill lamps are convenient to fry toast, unless a special appliance or convection oven is purchased.
2. Inverter control automatically controls the process and smoothly adjusts power.

The reviews mention the type of coverage of the working compartment. The aspect is not too important: we do not recommend using the appliance for cooking. It is better to save on this, buy a cheap microwave oven with any lining. The use of catalytic materials is popular in cooking appliances. When the temperature of the coating increases, it promotes fat burning. One of the options known for ironing is palladium. Metal is often used in expensive injectors for complete combustion of fuel.

In order not to splash onto the walls, they invented a cover for the microwave oven. Accessory covers rotating table. Made of plastic, microwaves easily pass through a dielectric. Cover for microwave will serve as a protective barrier in the way of splashing fat, you can wash the standard tool for dishes. When cooking nothing suffers. The rotating tray for the microwave oven is made of glass: durable, heat-resistant, safe material. Metal products inside the working chamber should not be.

When choosing, make sure that spare parts for microwave ovens are commercially available. Without this, in the event of a breakdown, it will only be necessary to hand over the equipment to the nearest workshop. There will be able to make parts. We do not recommend hanging the purchase on the wall. The bracket for the microwave oven will certainly leave traces. In ten years the type of devices will be forgotten under the influence of the multicooker. Relatively safe, more convenient. The choice of microwave is not too important. Heats - and all right.

Some interesting facts.

We do not recommend using a microwave microwave oven for cooking. Proved - no new research has been done - the use of microwave ovens is harmful to health. The more often the magnetron works - the worse.

Suppose the store is a microwave oven "Sharp".Take the device or see the next one? A mechanism for regulating the power of magnetron radiation by an inverter circuit was considered. The nature of the oscillation process in the microwave oven depended on the pulse repetition rate of the anode. Advanced technologies have been used in air conditioners for a long time: PWM is named for the modulation of pulse trains. A special infrared sensor in the microwave section evaluates the degree of product heating: the equipment makes adjustments to the process.

Seasoned users are skeptical about the procedure: the execution time is delayed. The power of the microwave oven magnetron is limited - leads to a decrease in the speed of work. Less than six months, there was news in the reviews. The story about the microwave oven with built-in thermal imager. The phrase about the cheapness of equipment alerted, the idea arose to check.

In view of the inherent mistrust of Russian-speaking sources, they turned to Google for help with thermal imager microwave oven. I came across an article: mentioned something similar about the microwave oven. Many citizens suffer from improperly cooked food. Sometimes during storage bacteria multiply: the technology allows or even assumes heat treatment, inside a microwave oven - the same.

A vicious circle is obtained. Processing in the microwave oven is supposed to be carried out incorrectly, citizens suffer. We decided that for hamburgers, grilled chicken, and other food products an additional control factor is required. In order not to poison people in public catering, at home. They suggested using thermal imagers.

This is not about home microwave ovens - it is a tool for private enterprises, conveyors.

In addition to controlling cooking in a microwave oven, a thermal imager will help:

1. Determine the integrity of packages, including polyethylene, for storing products. Being a dielectric, the material is able to retain heat. When the temperature changes the joints, the cracks will be highlighted on the imager.
2. Control bottling in plastic and other packaging. Air is a dielectric: it does not conduct much heat. Water is endowed with excellent heat capacity: a cold bottle is heated in a short time at the top. Exactly along the air boundary. The water part continues to absorb heat, forms dark areas on the screen of the imager.
3. Similarly, the analysis of cooking chickens, hamburgers. Problem: the imager gives a picture of the surface, what's going on inside is unknown. Engineers decided to go around this point.
4. microwave with grill - a great opportunity to assess the temperature field. Based on this method of cooking using a thermal imager.
   

   Operation of the

5. microwave When drying rice and other cereals, uneven conditions often arise. It leads to a decrease in shelf life, the appearance of pests. Applying a thermal imager, it will be possible to adjust the modes in the right direction.
6. To control the refrigeration compartments, a thermal imager is considered an indispensable device: it detects heat leaks along the contour of windows and doors.

This applies to food applications. Thermal imagers are widely used in construction, some in Russia use equivalent devices for hunting. The cost of the product rarely drops below 100 thousand rubles. For the production conveyor - a small price, we readily believe that in the USA they use thermal imagers to control cooked food. For Russia, it turns out to be a little expensive.

A bright prospect is: automation is available. Thermal imagers easily compress an image into MPEG, it becomes possible to develop software for performing tasks. If you take the microwave ovens - the electronics will turn the tray in the right direction, redden the sides of the food. The oven with the microwave will want to buy many, but not for 100 thousand rubles. Conveyor to check the integrity of the packaging, the adequacy of bottling looks more appropriate.

Today, a microwave oven with convection, temperature control for implementation is considered the limit of dreams. Do not waste time searching for another.
