IS Standard : Microwave Ovens : IS 302-2-25:2014
Microwave ovens are kitchen appliances that swiftly and effectively heat, cook, or reheat food using electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range, which is typically approximately 2.45 gigahertz. These ovens operate by releasing microwave radiation, which is absorbed by the food's carbohydrates, lipids, and water molecules. This vibration of the molecules produces heat. The meal is subsequently heated or cooked from the inside out by this heat. Because of its ability to cook and prepare food quickly, conveniently, and energy-efficiently, microwave ovens are an essential part of contemporary kitchens. They are adaptable appliances for a variety of culinary activities since they have a control panel that lets users adjust the power level and cooking duration. Because they are convenient to use and can save a lot of time, microwave ovens are frequently seen in homes, workplaces, and commercial kitchens.
