Microwave
A magnetron produces short waves, microwaves
Waves flow through a wave guide
To a stirrer
The waves bounce off the metal interior
The waves take advantage of water molecules being di-polar
The waves vibrate the molecules, creating friction, cooking the food

Foods to not microwave: Eggs in shells, pancakes, popcorn w/out fat, canning foods, deep-fry foods, and large amounts of food
Use papertowles, wax paper, and plastic wrap to absorb moisture or to hold it

Defrosting meat, turn the food, separate pieces, and use immediatley
Softens sugar, plumps raisins, freshens snacks, eliminates extra oils and fats, cooks food quickly
