No. Your microwave will never explode unless you put something explosive in it. Microwaves are actually very safe.

However, you never ever ever want to turn your microwave on for more than 10-20 seconds with nothing in it, not if you don't want to buy a new microwave. The radio waves generated by the magnetron will feed back into it, causing it to vibrate and greatly will reduce its lifespan. Just don't do it. Why would you want to anyway?

What is the reasoning that microwaves can travel through empty space as well as through air and food?

Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and as such they do not require any physical presence to aid passage, unlike sound waves which do require a medium through which to travel.

Fumes. More explosive than the gas itself.


What makes utensils microwvave safe?

Microwave safe simply means that the material that the "utensil" or cookware is made of does not readily react to the bombardment of microwaves and many microwaves can pass through them more unobscured than with other materials. Their structures may get warm as they are excited but do not melt, spark or release their composits into food/air etc... For example metals will spark as the microwaves hit their surface, certain glasses and ceramics will get hot as their molecules build up energy from the microwaves radiating through them until they let loose and crack or explode.
