Can the microwave oven be used as an oven? Family information

I can't. Although the microwave oven looks like an oven, it has different functions. If there is no oven, if you use the microwave oven in an emergency, you will find that the operation mode and the taste of food are different from those of the oven. For example, when baking a cake, it is not as easy to adjust the temperature as an oven, and it will not be baked up and down. Moreover, the role of the fan makes the baked cake not very soft, dry and without moisture.

So, why can't the microwave oven completely replace the oven? There are two reasons.

1. The material requirements for heaters are different.

Most of the molds used for baking are metal products, but metal products cannot enter the microwave oven, which will interfere with electromagnetic wave heating, resulting in uneven heating of baked goods and the danger of electric spark explosion. However, there is no such worry in the oven. Commonly used iron-aluminum baking pans, ceramic baking pans and metal baking nets can be used.

2. The barbecue tastes different.

Microwave ovens can't control the temperature like ovens. Even with the barbecue function, the microwave oven mainly generates heat energy through the friction of food molecules, while the oven mainly bakes food through the continuous heat release of heating pipes. Cooked meat heated by microwave oven is not as delicious as meat cooked in oven when electric fan is on. Relatively speaking, the meat cooked in the microwave oven can only be considered cooked. After all, modern people are not primitive people, and they are very picky about the taste of food.

Microwave heating is quite convenient, especially heating leftovers, which can be done in one minute. But if it is a professional baking, it is recommended to use an oven, and the product will be more professional and delicious. Microwave ovens can only replace ovens occasionally.
