[change] Operation
Food is placed inside the oven, and buttons on the screen are pressed to set how long the food should be cooked. Typically, a microwave oven is one of the fastest ways of cooking.
[change] Function
The microwave oven produces micro-waves. These micro-waves are capable of heating water very quickly and effectively. The food that is put in the oven has either a small amount of water or a large amount. When the machine is turned on, the micro-waves seek the water in the food and heat it up, thus heating the food around it.
