Dielectric Heating

Dielectric heating is a process that uses electromagnetic fields, typically microwave radiation, to heat non-conductive materials like plastics, food, or ceramics. When these materials are exposed to the electromagnetic waves, their molecules try to align with the changing electric field. This rapid movement causes internal friction and generates heat. Unlike traditional heating, which transfers heat from the outside in, dielectric heating directly heats the material throughout, allowing for efficient and uniform heating of items that are poor conductors of heat.
