What is the difference between microwave oven and light wave oven

With the development of science and technology, many technologies are being widely used in life. Now when we heat food, we can choose gas heating. Although they are all heating food, choosing to use a microwave oven or a light wave oven will have different results. Nowadays, many people know and have used microwave ovens, but many people do not know about light wave ovens, and think that microwave ovens and light wave ovens are the same item. The two only differ by one word in their names, but there are big differences in their functions. Now let’s talk about the differences between microwave ovens and light wave ovens.

Micro-wave oven

As the name suggests, it uses microwaves to cook rice and vegetables. A microwave oven 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.

Light wave oven

It is a household cooking stove, known as an upgraded version of the microwave oven. The principles of the light wave oven and the microwave oven are different. The output power of a light wave oven is mostly around 700 to 800 watts, but it has special "energy-saving" features. The light wave oven uses dual efficient heating of light waves and microwaves, which can generate huge heat in an instant.

The difference between microwave oven and light wave oven: different heating methods

The grill tube inside the microwave oven is a magnetron, which is a microwave generator that can generate microwaves with a vibration frequency of 2.45 billion times per second. This microwave, which is invisible to the naked eye, can penetrate food up to 5 cm deep and cause the water molecules in the food to move. The violent movement generates a large amount of heat energy, and microwaves heat food from the inside out. The grill tube of the microwave oven is generally made of copper tube or quartz tube. The copper tube is difficult to cool down after heating and can easily cause burns; while the thermal efficiency of the quartz tube is not very high.

The light wave oven is also called the light wave microwave oven. The grill tube of the light wave oven is replaced by a halogen tube (i.e., light wave tube) instead of a quartz tube or a copper tube. It is heated by the principle of far-infrared heating. After the power is turned on, the infrared component in the oven can generate a high temperature of 600℃-700℃ within a few seconds (the maximum temperature of the induction cooker is 300℃), and then through the imported energy-gathering reflective material, all the light energy is gathered together and reflected onto the oven panel, thereby achieving the purpose of cooking food. The light waves heat the food from the outside to the inside. The light wave oven also cools down quickly, heats more efficiently, and will not burn food, thus ensuring the color of the food.

The difference between microwave ovens and light wave ovens: different effects on the human body

Microwave ovens emit microwave radiation, which is harmful to the body. The infrared light emitted by the infrared light wave furnace has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on the human body. The principle of the light wave oven is quartz tube heating + fan heat circulation. It has no radiation, is healthy and environmentally friendly, and the food cooked in it is delicious and healthy, so pregnant women and children can eat it with confidence.

The difference between microwave oven and light wave oven: different uses

Microwave food containers must be made of insulating material. The microwave oven is not picky about the cookware and has many functions such as frying, steaming, stewing, boiling, cooking, heating milk, sterilizing, heating, dehumidifying, and moisture-proofing.

The difference and connection between microwave oven and light wave oven

In fact, the light wave ovens on the market are mostly light wave microwave ovens. The light wave microwave combination oven greatly improves the heating efficiency of microwave ovens and light wave ovens. It uses these two different heating principles to heat together. Light waves and microwaves cross-heat the food at high speed in the closed oven cavity at the same time, which completely solves the problem of uneven heating and uneven cooking of raw and cooked food that was common in microwave ovens in the past, and has higher thermal efficiency. And maintain the nutritional content of food to the greatest extent during the cooking process, and minimize the loss of water when cooking food.
