Is there UV in microwave ovens?

No, microwave ovens do not emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation. They use microwave radiation to heat and cook food by causing water molecules in the food to vibrate, generating heat. UV radiation is not involved in the operation of microwave ovens.


Is it possible to cook food using a radiation-free microwave?

Yes, it is possible to cook food using a radiation-free microwave. Traditional microwave ovens use electromagnetic radiation to heat food, but there are alternative methods such as convection ovens or stovetop cooking that do not rely on radiation.
