It comes in cans, each containing two servings, and for microwave heating it must be transferred to a glass or plastic container.

Irradiation also includes (by the principle) microwave heating.

One type of mechanical drying is to use microwave heating.

Instead, a new program, planned for this fall, will re-equip the Red Hook plant to recycle existing supplies of asphalt using microwave heating.

Many industries have found microwave heating advantageous: it has been used to dry cork, ceramics, paper, leather, and so on (Gallawa 2005).

Thomson and Moses Blackman wrote a patent on the idea in 1946, exploring a device using microwave heating and a steady current flow.

This means that the wavelengths employed in microwave heating are 12 or 33 cm.

Compared to liquid water, microwave heating is less efficient on fats and sugars (which have a smaller molecular dipole moment).

In some materials with low thermal conductivity, where dielectric constant increases with temperature, microwave heating can cause localized thermal runaway.

But Daedalus remembers that microwave heating acts specifically on the water in a sample (because of the high dielectric-loss factor of water).
