Energy Efficient

They use less energy than traditional cooking methods, such as cooking on the stove or baking in the oven. This means you can save money on your energy bills by using a microwave for cooking and food preparation.

Microwaves do have some downsides. For example, they may not be as effective as other cooking methods at killing bacteria and other pathogens that may lead to food poisoning. That's because the heat tends to be lower and the cooking time much shorter. Sometimes, food heats unevenly.

Commercial microwave ovens differ from domestic microwave ovens as they use a stirrer system to evenly distribute the microwave energy throughout the cavity. Rather than move the food around with a turntable, the energy is distributed throughout the whole cavity, which results in a more even and faster cooking process.

Some microwaves, particularly those from higher-end brands such as Wolf and Viking, tend to last longer, around 10 to 15 years or even more. The lifespan of these microwaves can be further enhanced by repairing them when issues arise.

1946: The first commercial microwave—the RadaRange— is sold by Raytheon to restaurants, large canteens and ships' galleys. It was nearly six feet tall, weighed more than 750 pounds, used about 3,000 watts of power and sold for roughly $5,000. 1967: The first microwave for residential use comes to market.

So, why do some microwaves not spin? Older models don't have a spinning plate since the tech wasn't invented until the 1980s. Many commercial microwaves don't spin either. This makes cleanup easier, offers fewer moving parts to break down, and allows for microwaving large or weirdly shaped dishes.

Microwave radiation can heat body tissue the same way it heats food. Exposure to high levels of microwaves can cause a painful burn. Two areas of the body, the eyes and the testes, are particularly vulnerable to RF heating because there is relatively little blood flow in them to carry away excess heat.
