These days modern box of oven can easily be confused with a microwave at a first glance, although both are primarily for heating up food in our homes, however they are two different appliances with differences.

It is not surprising to know that some of you don't know the differences but we are going to be highlighting the core differences between a modern box of oven and a microwave.

Below are their differences;

• Yes both are heating devices but while the microwave uses pure electromagnetic wave to heat up food, the oven on the other hand uses just its heater to perform same function.

• Microwave heats up food mainly by radiation while oven on the other hand heats up food by conduction.

• Microwave induces polar molecule thereby causing the food to rotate as heat is being generated while in the oven the food is stagnated as it is being heated

• Microwaves don’t normally come with pull-out trays, whereas oven often come with pull out trays

• The need of fast cooking can easily come into play between the two appliances, the microwave with the combined electrical and magnetic waves that it emits heat up food faster than the oven that rely solely on its heater.
