The difference between a microwave oven and an electric oven

Both microwave ovens and electric ovens are available in every home, but many people do not know the real difference between them. In fact, a microwave oven is a modern cooking appliance that uses microwaves to heat food, while an oven has a relatively wider range of uses and can be used to bake a variety of pastries and foods, so this is also the difference. Moreover, the food made in an oven will be more delicious and easier to eat.

A microwave oven (microwave oven/microwave), as the name suggests, is a modern cooking appliance that uses microwaves to heat food.

Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave. A microwave oven consists of a power supply, a magnetron, a control circuit and a cooking chamber. The power supply provides a high voltage of about 4000 volts to the magnetron. Under the excitation of the power supply, the magnetron continuously generates microwaves, which are then coupled into the cooking cavity through the waveguide system. Near the entrance of the cooking cavity, there is a rotatable agitator. Because the agitator is a fan-shaped metal, it reflects microwaves in all directions when it rotates, so it can evenly distribute the microwave energy in the cooking cavity, thereby heating the food. The power range of microwave ovens is generally 500~1000 watts.

An electric oven is a kitchen appliance that uses radiant heat from electric heating elements to bake food. Electric ovens can be used to process some pasta, such as bread and pizza, and can also be used to make snacks such as egg tarts and small biscuits.

1. Onion Chicken Wings

For one pound of chicken wings (about 8-9 pieces), first marinate them with oyster sauce, salt, sugar, chicken powder, and soy sauce (dark soy sauce) for 1-2 hours. I don’t like to cut the chicken wings with a knife to make them taste good. Instead, I use a fork to pierce holes on both sides of the chicken wings, which looks more beautiful! Cut 2 fist-sized onions into onion rings horizontally, spread them flat on an iron plate with aluminum foil, then put the marinated chicken wings on top, and pour the marinade evenly on the iron plate. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, put the chicken wings in and fry for 20 minutes. Use chopsticks to turn the chicken wings over after 10 minutes. If the chicken needs to be baked for 5 minutes longer, you can adjust the time yourself.

2. Grilled ribs

For one pound of ribs, marinate for 1-2 hours. 3 tomatoes and 2 onions, cut the tomatoes into 2-3 cm pieces and the onions into rings. Place the onions first, then the tomatoes, and finally the ribs, and pour the marinade into the iron plate. The ribs should be baked for 25-30 minutes. If you are worried that they are not cooked through, you can boil them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before marinating them, rinse them with cold water, and marinate them when they are not hot. If the ribs have been blanched, it will only take 20-25 minutes to bake them.

Purchase Note

1. For electric ovens with automatic temperature control, the temperature should be adjustable within the range of 100-250℃, and the temperature error should be less than ±10%.

2. For electric ovens with automatic timing control, the control time should be continuously adjustable within 0-45 minutes, and the timing error should be less than ±10%.

3. The time for the inner cavity temperature to rise from room temperature to 200°C shall not exceed 15 minutes.

4. Independent temperature control of upper and lower tubes makes the baking success rate higher.
