Yes, since the oven heats food by irradiating it with microwaves. Microwaves are an example of electromagnetic radiation, having a frequency lower than that of visible light.

What are safety precautions for using infrared radiation?
There are many different kinds of radiation and the appropriate safety precautions are different for the different kinds. The precautions for using microwave radiation, for example are very different from the precautions for using gamma radiation, or infra red radiation.
Which microwave ovens output the least amount of dangerous rays?
A new microwave having a label stating that is meets FDA standards for minimal radiation leakage is the safe choice and will leak the least amount of microwave radiation. You can also protect yourself by not leaning against a microwave while it's operating, and not using a microwave with a door that does not close firmly.
Can you give an example of a sentence using the word radiation?
Radiation is energy transfer by electromagnetic waves.
What is an example of a sentence using the word radiation?
Radiation is the process of sending off energy in the form of light, heat, x-rays or nuclear particles. An example of radiation are the energy waves off of a nuclear bomb.An example of radiation is the energy in the atmosphere monitored by radiation detectors such as the Xetex brand of personal radiation detector which were ultimately discontinued in the 1990s.Another good example would be heating a tin can of water using a Bunsen burner. Initially the flame produces radiation which heats the tin can. The tin can then transfers heat to the water through conduction. The hot water then rises to the top, in the convection process. (With using the word 'Radiation')..
How does radiation cook food?
Certain kinds of radiation can kill you by causing cancer. Radiation is actually the emittance (by unstable atoms) of tiny particles or packets of energy (aka rays) known as alpha and beta particles and gamma rays. These particles and rays are the right size to interact with the cells of your body, ripping through them, or otherwise damaging them. These damaged cells may continue to reproduce in their damaged state causing abnormal masses or tumors that disrupt normal body function. *Radiation can kill you other ways too.. and this is a bad description of radiation.

How do you spell micerwave?
The correct spelling is "microwave" (cooking technology using high-frequency waves).
When you use your laptop should you have it on your lap or not because of radiation?
Laptops and computers do not release any amount of radiation that needs to be worried about; you should be more concerned when using a microwave oven for example. However, the heat exposure can lower a male's sperm count so using a desk or laptop-cooler is recommended.
How does a microwave cook?
Just by using radiation which is able to displace and heat up the water molecules inside your food
