Re: Microwave reheat: how does it know?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I'm going to take a guess, but microwaves use microwaves, not infrared. [/ QUOTE ] LOL [/ QUOTE ] Infrared is heat. Microwaves cause the water molecules to bounce around, which causes them to heat up. They are at different wavelengths and different energy levels. But you knew that. [/ QUOTE ] He did, so i'm curious why you had to explain it.

[/ QUOTE ] It has something to do with the electromagnetic field in the microwave and the reaction with the metal, which causes a spark(s).

Re: Microwave reheat: how does it know?
Yeah the metal doesnt absorb the microwaves, and the bouncing around of the microwaves ionizes the air in the microwaves, and causes the electrical arcing.
