Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria will be destroyed during microwave cooking just as in other types of ovens, so food is safe cooked in a microwave oven. However the food can cook less evenly than in a conventional oven. Microwave cooking can be uneven just as with frying and grilling.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is due to the fact that foods that contain higher amounts of water tend to absorb microwave energy with a higher efficiency, while foods with lower water content absorb heat more slowly, causing uneven heating.

Detailed explanation-3: -Microwaves are high frequency radio waves which are readily absorbed by materials containing water, such as foods and human tissues. When water molecules in food absorb microwave energy, they vibrate, causing the food to be heated and cooked.

Detailed explanation-4: -While microwave ovens are common place in commercial foodservice, it’s important to know that not all microwaves are created equal. This is more than the difference between a residential microwave and a commercial microwave oven.
