I'm guessing you mean a microwave oven. There's often a bit of splatter when heating food, and slick surfaces are easier to clean. Apart from that, no reason. They would work just as well matte or drab.

Why does light reflect best on flat and shiny surfaces?
because the light bounces off the flat and shiny surfaces.
What are shiny surfaces?
a shiny surface so much light so brightly that it seans to glow
Is it true that shiny materials absorb radiant energy?
I believe that shiny surfaces reflect radiant energy.
Why dark surfaces are good absorbers of heat and shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of heat?
If you are talking in terms of the suns heat being absorbed by the surfaces then I have the answer. Shiny surfaces naturally deflect the suns rays where as dark surfaces are easy conductors of heat as they naturally catch the suns rays. You will notice with leather or print on a shirt that it gets hot because the rays have nowhere to go. A shiny surface will just deflect it back.
Why does wet paint bead up on some shiny smooth surfaces and spread evenly over other surfaces?
becuase it does
Why does light reflect best on flat and shiny surfaces?
because the light bounces off the flat and shiny surfaces.
Is metal shiny?
Generally the fresh surfaces of metals are shiny.
Why does shiny surfaces absorbe more energy then dull surfaces?
Because, shiny surfaces reflect heat, they don't emit much heat and they don't absorb much heat!
Which is not true in the inner planets?
the inner planets have rocky surfaces

Do microwave ovens get hot on outside surfaces?
They shouldn't. ;)

Do inner planets have rocky surfaces?
yes
How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?
The inner planets' surface materials differ from the outer planets because the inner planets have rocky surfaces and the outer planets have gas surfaces.
Is friction will resist motion of an object on shiny surfaces?
Yes.Even if it looks shiny, there's always some friction.
