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 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 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 not lead to problems This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License It uses material from the Original Wikipedia article D WRITING I Rewrite the following sentences without changing the meaning of the printed sentences The phone stopped ringing the moment I got down stairs No sooner _ He is determined to carry on working when he is 65 He has no He was very sorry that he didn’t see Audrey on her trip to London He greatly She agreed to go out to dinner with him because she assumed he was not married Had she Everyone was surprised that the singer had very little money when he died The singer had _ II Children today are too dependent on computers and electronic entertainment It would be better for them to be outside playing sports and taking part in more traditional past times than spending all day indoors Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

desert of central Australia is the mining town of Coober Pedy At first sight, the town looks similar to many other such communities, but Coober Pedy is different Sixty per cent of its population of some 4,000 people live underground There are today about 800 underground houses as well as shops, hotels and even churches in the town and the surrounding 558 hills Once a site has been chosen, special tunneling machines are brought in to create passages and rooms in the sandstone Rock pillars are left to support the roof, and doors and windows are cut into the front Houses are of all shapes and sizes, the largest having twenty rooms, and some even have their own swimming pool Living underground may sound strange but in fact it has a number of advantages In summer, the temperature outside can reach an astonishing 47 0C, and in winter the nights can be extremely cold However, inside the houses it remains a steady 25 0C all year round Many people say tat living underground makes them feel very secure There is no problem with noise from the neighbours and the houses are not affected by the fierce dust storms that regularly sweep through the area And of course, if your family grows
