Detailed explanation-1: -A microwave oven heats water because the microwave radiation interacts with the dipole (separated positive and negative charge) of the water molecule. The microwaves turn the water molecules back and forth at approximately the frequency of the microwaves, imparting energy to them.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cooking with Microwaves Microwaves cause water molecules in food to vibrate, producing heat that cooks the food. That’s why foods that are high in water content, like fresh vegetables, can be cooked more quickly than other foods.
Detailed explanation-3: -Overheated food or packaging is the main culprit According to Bob Schiffmann, a 50-year veteran of the microwave industry and president of the International Microwave Power Institute, 1 microwave fires usually start for the same reason that oven or stovetop or grill fires do: “It’s simply due to [the food] overheating.”
Detailed explanation-4: -Microwaves are produced inside the oven by an electron tube called a magnetron. The microwaves are reflected within the metal interior of the oven where they are absorbed by food. Microwaves cause water molecules in food to vibrate, producing heat that cooks the food.
