Microwave Dielectric Heating

Microwave dielectric heating is a method used to heat materials, particularly in cooking and industrial processes. It works by using microwave radiation, which generates electromagnetic waves that penetrate the material. These waves excite the water molecules within the material, causing them to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. This process allows for efficient and uniform heating, as the energy is distributed throughout the material rather than just from the outside. This technology is commonly found in microwave ovens, where it cooks food quickly while preserving moisture and flavor.
