Mikrolaineahjud, often referred to as microwave ovens, are common kitchen appliances used for heating and cooking food. They operate by generating electromagnetic waves, specifically in the microwave frequency range, which are then directed into the cooking cavity. These waves cause water molecules within the food to vibrate rapidly, producing heat through a process called dielectric heating. This rapid heating mechanism allows for quicker cooking times compared to conventional ovens.

The typical microwave oven consists of a metal cavity, a magnetron that generates the microwaves, a turntable to ensure even cooking, and a control panel for setting cooking time and power levels. Safety features are incorporated to prevent microwave leakage. While efficient for reheating and certain cooking tasks, microwave ovens are not always suitable for all types of food preparation, as they may not achieve the browning or crisping effects of traditional ovens. They are widely used for defrosting frozen foods, heating leftovers, and cooking pre-packaged meals.
