Microwaves

Most household microwaves range from 600 to 1200 watts. A higher wattage means faster cooking times. A 1000-watt microwave is usually sufficient for most needs.

A microwave oven is a kitchen appliance that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range, which causes water molecules in the food to vibrate and produce heat.

Clean a microwave by wiping down the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For tough stains, use a mixture of water and vinegar or a microwave-safe cleaning solution.
