Photo of a microwave oven
A microwave oven, or just a microwave, is an appliance that heats food using microwave radiation. The microwaves heat the water inside the food, so food cooks very fast in a microwave oven.
Microwave ovens cannot brown food like an ordinary oven can, and can't be used for cooking all kinds of food. Some microwaves are combination and also have some ordinary heating elements in them too.
