Will Today's Microwave Oven Soon be a Thing of the Past, Part 2?

摘要

ecently I wrote an editorial titled, "Will Today's Microwave Oven Soon Be a Thing of the Past?" That piece discussed the possibility of microwave ovens based on solid-state RF energy, which would essentially replace traditional magnetron-based microwave ovens. The potential benefit of healthier cooked food was specifically mentioned. A few readers have since commented in regard to that editorial. One specific question concerns exactly how solid-state RF energy can cook healthier food. Since not much detail was offered in that editorial piece, I thought it would be beneficial to write another article in an attempt to provide a better explanation. This article will hopefully shed some light on the topic of solid-state RF energy.
