Cooking machines: oven, microwave, kettle, toaster and hob, sentence 6
A microwave oven sends out invisible microwaves that make the water in food wiggle and heat up, and the turntable spins so the food heats more evenly; microwaves heat only the outer few centimetres of the food, and the heat then spreads inwards.
Who acts: microwave oven, invisible microwaves, water, turntable, food, microwaves · What happens: send out, make, wiggle, heat up, spin, heat · To what, where: invisible microwaves, water, food, outer few centimetres
