Yes, food from a microwave is just hot, it isn't changed in any real way.

Is it safe to cook canned food in the microwave?
no it is not safe because aluminum is an insulator which means that when u take it out the heat will melt it and cause a serious injury if touched. it is also not safe because any metal heated in a microwave can cause a fire
Can put something in the oven if its already microwave safe?
No, just because it's microwave safe does not mean it's oven safe. The thermal mechanisms involved in microwave radiation and convective heat are completely different. Many plastics are microwave safe, but you should never put plastic in the oven.
Is standing near a microwave while its heating food safe?
Yes, it's perfectly safe. The microwave oven's own casing is adequate shielding, (unless it has been damaged). Even if it there is damage, and some of the microwave radiation can leak out, it is non ionizing and non-carcinogenic. There is a risk of being heated and burned, but you'd notice and be able to move away.
Are silicone dishes microwave safe?
Yes, silicone is microwave safe. It is also safe to put in the dishwasher, and even in the oven.
What is better grill or convection microwave oven?
Microwaves are used to heat food by using electromagnetic radiation and is powered by electricity. Convection ovens can be powered by electricity or gas and will cook food by hot air that circulates around the chamber.
Which element in the microwave heats the food and is it good for your health to eat food made in a microwave?
Microwave ovens have a "part" or device inside them called a magnetron. The magnetron is a microwave generator, and when we energize it, it generates electromagnetic waves at fairly high power (several hundred watts) and at a microwave frequency (about 2450 megaHertz). The non-ionizing electromagnetic waves or rays generated by the magnetron cause the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules to "vibrate" sympathetically with the microwave radiation. The result is that the water molecule is "given energy" by the microwave, and this energy is expressed as "vibration" of the water molecule. It is thermal, or heat energy, and the oven heats/cooks food by heating the water in the food using microwave electromagnetic energy. As stated, this radiation is non-ionizing radiation, and it will not "harm" the food, per se. Normally heated or cooked food that is put thorugh a microwave oven is safe to eat. You will not suffer any ill effects because of something the microwave oven did to the food item(s). Note that the oven can burn food, and burnt food has some toxins in it.
Is sterilite microwave safe?
All of Sterlite food storage items are microwave safe. They are designed to reheat food in the microwave. Use caution when reheating food high in sugar or fat as they can cause damage to microwave safe containers. See microwave manufacturer's instructions for information regarding the use of microwave safe containers in your microwave."
Will food stored next to microwaves be contaminated?
No, microwave ovens are constructed in such a way that no 'microwaves' can escape the oven, so your food or anything else stored close by are safe.
Is it safe to have a microwave oven in the garage?
Yes but I would unplug when it is not in use.
If a coffee mug is microwave and dishwasher safe is it oven safe also?
not really. it just depends on the dish...like if its glass, stone, plastic, etc.
Is it safe to cook on a sheet of fiberglass in a microwave oven?
As long as it stays where it's supposed to be, no. If pieces of it are falling off into your food, then that's a different matter.
Why do you put plastic in microwave ovens?
The Reason for these is because Some Plastic Can Not Stand the heat that The MicroWave Oven melt produce therefore when you put a unstsble Plastic in the Microwave oven it Will meltAnother Response:Certain types of plastic may be recommended for use in microwave ovens because they allow the microwaves to pass through them. In this way the food inside the plastic container is cooked while the container stays cool. Not all plastics are microwave safe; some will melt. Metal cannot be used in microwaves. Some types of ceramic dishes, which may have metal elements in their glaze, are not safe in microwave ovens. Consequently some companies such as Tupperware, Rubbermaid and Pampered Chef produced lines of plastic cookware specifically for microwave ovens.More recently, studies suggest that molecular particles from some types of plastic migrate into food when heated in microwave ovens. While manufacturers maintain that their products are safe, some medical experts advise using only glass or safe ceramic cookware in microwave ovens.
