What is the difference between a microwave oven and a steamer?

Nowadays, most people use microwave ovens at home, but in fact, there are similarities between the steamer and microwave ovens on the market. So what's the difference between them? Let's analyze it.

1. Different heating methods: the steamer is heated by pure steam; Microwave ovens use magnetrons to generate high frequency, which makes molecules in a certain range vibrate at high speed and generate heat.

2. The healthy and nutritious components of food are different: because the steamer is conducted in the form of heat transfer, the molecular structure of the food itself is not destroyed, so that the food reaches its original flavor. Therefore, the nutritional components of the food processed in the steamer are zero, and the nutritional components of the food heated by the microwave oven will be seriously damaged.

3. Different safety: It is determined by the steam heating principle of the steamer itself, and the product uses steam to cook food. Is an independent body, no light waves, microwaves, no radiation, pregnant women and children can be in close contact. When the magnetron of microwave oven works, it will not only radiate the food itself, but also the people around it.

4. The processed food tastes different: the food processed by the steamer tastes fresh and retains the original flavor of the food, and the food is dry and hard when heated by the microwave oven.

5, the choice of utensils is different: the steamer can use any utensils; Microwave ovens can't choose metal utensils, sealed containers or some plastic containers that don't conform to microwave, otherwise it will decompose toxic and harmful substances.
