Does a microwave have chemical energy?
If you are referring to the oven, the answer could be yes, as the turn table moves. However if you are referring to the electromagnetic wave known as a microwave then this is a form of electromagnetic energy...
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.
Are microwave cooked foods dangerous?
Not at all. Food cooked in the microwave does not contain any microwave radiation. However, you could burn your mouth if, for example, you heat a danish in the microwave and bite into it too soon as the bready outer part can seem cool enough to eat while the filling is still dangerously hot. But on the other hand microwave use the same wave lengths as xrays and such and could possibly harm you depending on the age of the microwave.
What are the dangers of microwave radiation?
In general, microwaves are harmful if they are very powerful and concentrated. All of our ordinary microwave-emitting devices are perfectly safe to use because they are very low power. A microwave oven doesn't release enough of the energy to cause harm when the door is properly closed - hence, a microwave that functions with a door open could be potentially harmful. Very powerful microwaves are harmful because they cause burns. Microwave radiation, despite popular claims, does not cause cancer or any other illness associated with exposure to ionizing radiation. Microwaves from cell phones, for example, are not powerful and concentrated enough to cause harm. In themselves, other than high power exposure - several kilowatts - that's many more times than what is inside an operating microwave oven, microwaves are not dangerous. However, injuries can occur from overheated foods - burns, scalds, eruptions and fires.
What energy source does a microwave use?
They are powered by electricity of course, but the generate microwaves (an electromagnetic wave, like light - but of a higher frequency). We are surrounded by microwaves from the sun, satalites, and radiation from electrical dewvices, but microwaves concentrate the energy - heat happens where "beams" cross and excite the molecules of what they are passing through (i.e. heat).
How can you use a microwave oven as a oven?
You can't. Only if it's a microwave-oven
What type of utensils you can use in microwave oven in convection modeto make cake. can you use microwave safe glass bowl which came free with microwave?
A person can use plastic bowls that come with microwaves when warming food in a microwave. Metal can not be used in microwaves, because it can cause the microwave to catch fire.
Can you use metal in a convection oven?
Typically, you cannot use metal in a microwave oven. In combination type microwaves however, you can use metal as long as it is in convection mode.
What is the use of microwave oven?

Yes.
Can you heat quiche in microwave oven?
No - you will get food poisoning - do not heat quiche in a microwave oven - use a conventional oven & heat thoroughly
Why can your microwave oven have a metal shelf?
A microwave oven may include a metal component, like a shelf, if it is of the manufacturer's design. A manufacturer can properly design and place a metal component in a microwave oven by ensuring that it is not, and cannot become, a microwave antenna. If a metal component is designed by the manufacturer, specifically for its ovens, it is safe to use (per the instructions). Utensils, aluminum foil, gilding, and other metal objects act as antennae causing arcing and possible fires, and may cause damage to the oven.
Which is safer a microwave or an oven?
An oven as it does not use radiation to cook food.
Can you use aluminium vessel in microwave oven?
no
What is combi1 meaning in microwave oven?
Your microwave oven has "combination" features, most likely a combination of microwave and convection cooking. Consult the user manual for your specific oven to find out how to use these features.
Can you use microwave with metal skewer in potato?
In a gas oven, yes. But NOT in a microwave.
