Microwave

The versatile microwave oven is a cooking appliance that heats up food using microwave radiation to excite molecules within the food.

These ovens can heat liquids and solid food quickly, and often lend themselves well to:

Reheating previous dinners
Heating soups or liquids
Thawing frozen meat
Cooking frozen vegetables
Steaming

Some models have a convection element, allowing hot air to circulate through the oven cavity.

A common misconception is that microwaves cook from the inside-out. In most cases, a microwave actually cooks from the outside in.
