Microwave heating seems to cause more damage to bacteria than equivalent thermal-only heating.
2.
For example, microwave heating does not occur by ionization; instead it excites a molecular resonance.
3.
Microwave heating can be deliberately uneven by design.
4.
And just about every brand from Lean Cuisine to Budget Gourmet added microwave heating instructions to their packages.
5.
Heat is applied by cooking, blanching or microwave heating in a manner that pasteurizes or sterilizes fish products.
6.
In some materials with low thermal conductivity, where dielectric constant increases with temperature, microwave heating can cause localized thermal runaway.
7.
:Microwave heating of " smaller " regions of the body to fever-range temperatures has been tested for various therapeutic purposes.
8.
Microwave heating is more efficient on liquid water than on frozen water, where the movement of molecules is more restricted.
9.
Microwave heating can cause localized thermal runaways in some materials with low thermal conductivity which also have dielectric constants that increase with temperature.
10.
Addition of ferromagnetic particles, hygroscopic water-retaining materials, or other materials can yield a hot melt adhesive which can be activated by microwave heating.
