    Microwave effectivness vs. amount of water?

    Mr. Higgler thanks for you opinion. As matter of fact the irradiation inside the microwave oven is not uniform. There are so named “standing waves”, formed between the inner walls of the resonance cavity. Their electromagnetic intensity is extremely high, because they represent the output power...

    Microwave effectivness vs. amount of water?

    Hi again, "microwave safe" doesn't mean that dishes won't get hot under microwave irradiation. It means that the material is not inappropriate or dangerous for using in microwave oven. For example some plastics may leach plasticizers into food, or metal film may cause sparks and fire inside the...

    Microwave effectivness vs. amount of water?

    Hello Oisiaa, I believe you observed the phenomena, because the additive in the elastomer (your bowl made of) has dielectric loss factor higher then the water. Most of the microwaves are absorbed more by the rubber than the liquid. Therefore the latter is heated slightly as a result of the heat...
