Philosophical question

When you cook frozen dinners in the microwave and they say you have to set it for 10 minutes at half-power, why not cook it for 5 minutes at full power?

Because the food will receive too much microwave radiation all at once and will likely be burned on top/around the edges, and perhaps not cooked fully all the way through.

When it's on a medium power, the microwave turns on and off it's radiation periodically, as opposed to simply having less microwaves all at once. This gives it a more thorough cooking job, and a tastier meal for you, the consumer.

The End.

i love the way you presented that answer...

I'd always wondered that too, in fact, thanks

So what is medium good for?

Medium heat.

Hehe.

something tells me MisterOpus1 has cooked his fair share of microwave dinners. lol

I'm not sure but the way microwave radiation works is it excites water molecules in the food which heats them up. usually the rays are focused at the center of the microwave so i suppose if they are too intense the heat doesn't have time to radiate throughout the food thus burning it in certain spots... makes sense to me but IANAP

Here's a Philosophical question for ya.

Why is it that when we move something by ship it's called a cargo but when we move something by car it's called a shipment?

Couldn't you also call the former a shipment, and the latter a cargo, if you chose to?

Microwave isn't too much different from convential oven in terms of heat intensity... it's the same reason you put a pie in at 300 for 60 minutes as opposed to 600 for 15 (which will just burn it to a crisp).

Or sit in the steam room for 10 minutes as opposed to a furnace for 1 ;-)

Why are there InterState Highways in Hawaii?

What's the point of having handicap parking at the Special Olympics?

How's this for a philosophical question:

Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that even he himself could not eat it?

This implies that all mentally disabled individuals require a handicap decal. This is not the case, however. In fact, most mentally disabled individuals do not, or rather, cannot drive. Besides, they love to run. Haven't you seen their happy expressions when they run around the track? The further you park away from the stadium, the more they run. Hence, more happiness to them.

(Before you tell me to burn in hell, I have 2 cousins who are mentally disabled, plus I work at the Special Olympics every year. They make fun of themselves more than I ever could make light of things. Does it make it right for me to do so? No, but I know I'm going to burn in hell anyways, so don't waste your breath).

As for the microwave comments, whoever mentioned about exciting the water molecules inside is correct. Anyone who's a hot pocket junkie ends up knowing a few tidbit details about their food.
