If the inside of your microwave is rusted can it harm your food?

In general, a bit of rust in the cavity of a microwave oven doesn't hurt things. It's a bit hard to clean around it, and it might be best to sand it down and spritz that place with a bit of paint to "seal" it from spatters. The only problem is if the rust is allowed to eat a hole in the cavity. That's bad. It can (and probably will) cause a microwave leak, and this may make the oven unsafe to use.
If you are uncomfortable taking a bit of emory cloth or the like to a rust spot, rubbing it down, and then spraying just a hint of paint (clear or any color) on the sanded area, ask a handyman to do it. It's not that big a deal. The paint will keep the rusted area from expanding and punching through the cavity.

∙ 13y agoNo, it can't. Only if it starts falling off and into your food. The rust will harm your microwave though. Just guessing but that is a scientific answer.

Can Food cooked on aluminum foil in microwave cause poisoning if food eaten?
The foil cant really harm the food in any way to make it unsafe. Putting the foil in the microwave can result in a lot of sparks and eventually will lead to a broken microwave. Try using a plate or microwave safe tupperware.
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.
Will a paper clip placed inside a microwave cause damage if the microwave is switched on?
A typical paper clip will cause a small "short" in the microwave energy inside the oven, but likely will cause no harm. Metal of any sort can become hot because of the RF currents that will travel through it and possibly cause a fire if there are flamable items in contact with it.
Can a operating microwave harm a grown adult?
1- We mustn't stand in front of the ovens while the oven is functioning, 2- We mustn't let the growing children eat only microwave cooked food. 3- Even it's very little risky to have cancern ilness by eating microwave cooked food, we shouldn't use the microwave ovens or we should try to use them rarely,
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.
Is steam cooking healthier than microwave cooking?
I would imagine that the heat would be uncomfortable and that prolonged exposure to such a bright source of ligth would not be good for your eyes. So technically in the short term yes but long term not really.
Can a microwave be on top of a fridge freezer?
Yes. The short waves that bounce around inside the oven should be well shielded from penetrating the freezer ice. Heat from the freezer coils rises, but that should not harm the microwave. Neither device should have any negative impact on the other in that configuration.
Can you live in your microwave?
No. You would never fit and if you did and it was turned on it would fatally harm you.
Some protists live inside the digestive system of animals. Do the protists help or harm the animal they live inside?
They help the digestive systems and help digest any food
If Some protists live inside the digestive systems of animals do protists help or harm the animal they live inside?
They help the digestive systems and help digest any food
If it doesn't say microwave safe on the back of a stoneware dish can it harm the microwave?
Yes. You can double check any item to see if safe to use in a microwave and not harm it by, for example, take a cup from a dinnerware set, and put water in it and cook for one minute. If the water is not warm, but the cup is warm or hot to the touch, it is not safe!
will it be dangerous , if water spills inside Sharp R-1406 1.4 CuFt Over-the-Range Microwave Oven ?
No, if water spills, it will just evaporate. The radiation would not cause any harm when it comes into contact with regular water.
