Substitute the Phrasal Verbs with the ones given keeping the meaning in the paragraph .

Microwaving is a method of cooking where food is [ fire on ] by microwaves , usually within an appliance called a microwave oven which [ pump up ] the water , fat and sugar molecules , thereby heating or cooking both the outside and center of the food at the same time . [ A common myth is that a microwave oven [ ruslte up ] from the center of the food outward . This [ come out ] to happen because heat [ bring about ] at the surface [ get away ] more readily from the surface of the food into the surrounding air . ] One advantage of microwaving is that small amounts of food can be [ warm up ] very quickly , making it useful for [ get ready ] leftovers .

Choose from the following sentences to fill the spaces in the text . There is one extra .

A . Using a microwave for cooking a large food mass is difficult due to limited penetration of microwaves .

B . This can be overcome by leaving the food to stand for a few minutes when cooking is completed .

C . It is advised that the water should be poured slowly into another container that already contains the powder .

D . In this way , buying a microwave oven with a turntable ensure the food is cooked throughout .

E . Conversely the microwaves do not heat glass , ceramic and plastic containers .

F . If the microwaves are not absorbed inside the oven , the oven can be damaged by electrical arcs and overheating of the microwave source .

G . When water in that state is disturbed , it can suddenly and unexpectedly boil violently .

Microwaving is a method of cooking where food is bombarded by microwaves , usually within an appliance called a microwave oven which excite the water , fat and sugar molecules , thereby heating ( cooking ) both the outside and center of the food at the same time . [ 1 ] [ A common myth is that a microwave oven cooks from the center of the food outward . This appears to happen because heat generated at the surface escapes more readily from the surface of the food into the surrounding air . ] One advantage of microwaving is that small amounts of food can be heated very quickly , making it useful for reheating leftovers .

The disadvantage is that food which is microwaved does not undergo some of the chemical reactions , such as browning , which makes the food visually attractive . Primitive microwave ovens often do not cook evenly , leading to a concern that bacteria easily killed by more traditional cooking methods may survive the quick cooking time in " cold spots " , though the food item as a whole is cooked to a safe average temperature . [ 2 ]
Some high - end microwave ovens are combined with a convection oven which basically cook the food using microwave and hot air simultaneously to achieve both the fast cooking time and browning effect .

[ 3 ] . However microwave ovens are used in some fast food chains and special microwave bags are available for cooking fowl or large joints of meat .

Professional chefs generally recommend using microwaves for a limited set of tasks , including : melting fats ( such as butter ) and chocolate , cooking grains like oatmeal and grits , cooking rice , thawing frozen meats and vegetables before cooking by other methods and quickly reheating already - cooked foods .

Using a microwave to boil water is potentially dangerous , due to superheating . In a microwave , water can be raised quickly to a temperature above the boiling point before major bubbles form , especially if it is purified and in a very clean glass vessel . [ 4 ] . This effect is rare , even for scientists who try to deliberately recreate it , and any seed whatsoever for boiling is likely to prevent the problem . Boiling water with , for instance , a teabag already in it will prevent any dangers by providing a seed , as will using a mug that is not perfectly clean .

The risk greatly increases when water has already been boiled once in the same container . This situation can occur if the user of the oven boiled the water once , forgot about it , then came back later to boil it again . The first time the water boils , the seed bubbles ( microscopic bubbles of air around which larger steam bubbles grow ) are used up and largely eliminated from the water as it cools down . When the water is heated again , the lack of seed bubbles causes superheating , and a risk of a steam explosion when the water's surface is disturbed .

Placing something in the water before heating can mostly alleviate this risk . If you are planning to mix something with the water , say tea or hot chocolate , adding it before heating will insure that the water boils . Otherwise , placing a wood object , for instance a chopstick , in the water before heating will also work .

Care should be taken when removing heated water from a microwave . Make sure that the hands are protected from possible liquid boil - over , place the container on a level , heat - proof surface and stir liquid with a warm spoon . Also , never add powdered substances ( such as instant coffee or cocoa mix ) to the container taken from the microwave , due to the addition of all those seed bubbles and the potential for violent , spontaneous boiling . [ 5 ]

Metal objects , such as metal utensils , in a microwave oven can lead to dangerous situations . Metals do not absorb microwaves effectively . Instead , metals reflect microwaves , thereby preventing the latter from reaching the food . [ 6 ] . Thin metal layers , such as metal foil and mugs with metal trim can melt or burn due to the strong electrical currents that are generated in metal objects . However , small solid metal objects , such as spoons , in combination with a large amount of absorbing food or liquid , normally do not lead to problems .
