In a waveguide 11 provided with a magnetron 12, a container 13 made of quartz glass and containing a porous body 14 is placed. The container 13 is connected to a water supply pipe 15, a steam delivery pipe 16 and a drain pipe 17. Pure water regulated at a preset flow rate by a flow control valve 18

In a waveguide 11 provided with a magnetron 12, a container 13 made of quartz glass and containing a porous body 14 is placed. The container 13 is connected to a water supply pipe 15, a steam delivery pipe 16 and a drain pipe 17. Pure water regulated at a preset flow rate by a flow control valve 18 drops on the upper face of the porous body 14, and infiltrates into the porous body 14. When the magnetron 12 sends out microwave radiation to the waveguide 11, the pure water contained in the porous body 14 is heated by the microwave, and instantaneously evaporates. The steam of pure water escapes from every surface of the porous body 14 and delivered through the steam delivery pipe 16. An appropriate control of the flow rate of the pure water by the flow control valve 18 and the output power of the magnetron 12 can make an appropriate control of the flow rate of the steam, so that all the pure water supplied to the porous body 14 is converted to steam.
