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.
Yes, silicone is microwave safe. It is also safe to put in the dishwasher, and even in the oven.
Yes but I would unplug when it is not in use.
not really. it just depends on the dish...like if its glass, stone, plastic, etc.
You can use glassware or any microwave-safe dish to cook chicken in the microwave. Check the bottom of any plastic dishes to see if they are microwave-safe.
Yes, at least up to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. That is all I have tested so far.
Yes but be careful that the plus does not get too hot.
Good quality crazy glue.
Yes, food from a microwave is just hot, it isn't changed in any real way.
It is safe for the microwave, freezer and top rack of the dishwasher, but not the stove, oven or grill.
Yes. It is also easy to replace the light - look in your manual
Loss of paint in the cavity (the cooking area) of a microwave oven isn't a safety problem unless that spot is rusting and has rusted through. That will leave a hole in the cavity, and that is a safety problem.
You can stand as close as you like. Microwave ovens are perfectly safe and the amount of microwave radiation leaking from it is so minuscule as to be irrelevant. People generally don't realize, but there's more energy in light than there is in microwaves. Microwave leakage can't hurt you.
