Microwaves have been around since the 60s and have not seen any major improvements since. The introduction of Freescale's Radio Frequency Oven comes as a revolutionary concept to improving microwave cooking.
This is a new method of cooking food using the latest solid-state radio frequency technology. Conventional microwave ovens use a cavity magnetron as its primary cooking element, which tends to leak a lot of energy while cooking leading to uneven heating.
On the other hand, the radio frequency emitters used by Freescale's Oven saves a lot of energy because they can control cooking cycles precisely, determining the location and level of energy without any intervention. These radio frequency emitters – the same ones used in cell towers – can determine the level of doneness of the food being heated.
It will take some time to appreciate the new Freescale Radio Frequency Oven, but old microwave ovens will eventually be kicked to the curb. These new ovens have so many new perks.
The introduction of convection heating methods means that you can now brown or crisp your food. Various types and qualities of food can be prepared ranging from searing, browning, poaching and baking. The best we can do now is just re-heat pre-cooked food.
Through the use of multiple radio emitters, you can cook different types of food simultaneously in the same oven.
Another thing you will be glad to hear is that unlike the older microwave ovens which used a 2.4Ghz frequency range, these radio frequency emitters operate below the 2.4Ghz range and cannot interfere with other signals such as your WiFi.
On top of all this, the radio frequency emitters have a lifespan of over 20 years while magnetrons tend to lose their potency after about 500 hours of use.
So, are you ready to embrace the new way of microwaving food?
