1. Definition of microwave oven and electric oven
1. Microwave oven
Microwave is an electromagnetic wave. A microwave oven consists of a power supply, a magnetron, a control circuit and a cooking cavity. The power supply provides a high voltage of about 4000 volts to the magnetron, and the magnetron continuously generates microwaves under the excitation of the power supply, which is then coupled into the cooking cavity through the waveguide system. There is a rotatable stirrer near the entrance of the cooking cavity. Because the stirrer is a fan-shaped metal, it reflects microwaves in all directions after being rotated, so the microwave energy can be evenly distributed in the cooking cavity, thereby Heat food. The power range of microwave ovens is generally 500 to 1000 watts.
2. Electric oven
An electric oven is a kitchen appliance that uses the radiant heat emitted by an electric heating element to bake food. Electric ovens can be used to process some pasta, such as bread, pizza, and desserts such as egg tarts and small biscuits.
What is the difference between a microwave oven and an electric oven
Microwave ovens and ovens have different heating principles. Microwave ovens use electrical energy to convert microwaves, which are absorbed by food through microwave radiation. , the polar molecules of the food run at a high speed and collide, so as to cook the food to achieve the purpose. The heating method of the microwave oven is from the inside out, and the whole food itself is heated evenly; For heat, the food is heated and baked, and the heating method is from the outside to the inside.
Third, how to buy microwave ovens and electric ovens
It depends on the use, generally speaking, the ones with more functions are more expensive, so it is recommended to buy the ones with less functions of. Microwave ovens are very convenient for beginners to cook. Microwave ovens generally have recipes, which can be followed, such as steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, stewed ribs, steamed sweet potatoes, steamed fish, and boiled milk, etc.; Use less oil, because it will make a bang after heating; cover the lid to save the oil and soup from splashing around, which is not easy to clean. Ovens are generally used for baking foods, such as cakes, pizza, bread, and barbecue. The heating time is more flexible than that of microwave ovens, and it needs to be explored.
Fourth, which is more practical, a microwave oven or an oven
Choose from the comparison of the taste of the food heated by the oven and the microwave oven: the oven uses the heat converted by the heating tube It is a kind of heating food without destroying the original taste of the food. In this process, it can effectively retain the moisture and nutrients of the food itself. Therefore, the food produced is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which is especially suitable for people’s tastes; Microwave ovens can only heat foods with relatively high water content, which is suitable for quick reheating, and the food itself loses water and nutrients seriously during the heating process. For example, heating steamed buns will make the steamed buns very dry, while the oven can retain more water. The microwave is cooking food, and the color and smell are not good.
For household microwave ovens, it is more convenient than ovens. If conditions permit, buy them both and use whichever one you want to use. If you can only choose one, it is recommended to buy ovens, pizzas, barbecues, cakes, breads, etc., and use ovens to make them. There is no microwave oven to heat food with gas, induction cooker.
