The energy used to cook food in a microwave oven is: Electrical Energy Microwave ovens use electrical energy to generate microwaves, which are then used to heat and cook food. The microwaves penetrate the food and cause the water molecules to vibrate rapidly, generating heat through dielectric heating. So, while the end result is thermal energy (heat) in the food, the initial energy form used to power the microwave oven is electrical energy.
