That would depend on the item you are heating in it . If it is just a cup of water for tea , and you aren't using too long a time to heat it , no . If it still get's hot on top , too hot to touch , there could be a problem with the oven, if you are heating a large item for a long period of time, the heat from that will make the top quite warm.
No, they shouldn't get hot, except for the glass turntable - that can become extremely hot due to heat transfer from the food on it and because they also deliberately absorb microwaves - they serve as "matching devices" to allow the heating of small items ( a pat of butter) of items that don't heat well. Otherwise there could be excessive microwave energy reflected back to the magnetron.... The other components such as the walls heat very little even from the food being heated - I studied this some years ago and found the heating to be trivial. If you do feel heat it is either from the light bulb or the air blowing over the magnetron to cool it.
What else can I help you with?
Do microwave ovens get hot on outside surfaces?
They shouldn't. ;)
What is one safety risk involved with microwave ovens?
1. Burning yourself on hot food cooked in the microwave 2. Damage due to radiation
Can you microwave a cake?
Yes it is possible, but the results are not great, most microwave ovens have 'hot spots' some parts of the cake would cook quicker than others.
If you turn on the microwave when an Ant is in it why would it not die?
The same reason a paper towel will not get hot. Microwaves are made to only heat certain particles and I suppose the ant does not have what it takes. I saw a guy on Oprah showing how stuff works.
Are electric ovens better than stove ovens?
no it is not a better oven because electric oven only make the pot hot not actually heating it so therefore the stove ovens are way way better than electric ovens.
Is there a microwave oven for steel plates?
To my knowledge, there is no microwave technology that is compatible with metal cookware or utensils.Your best bet when using metal cookware is a convection oven. These ovens are generally about the same size as a microwave oven, they use a fan to circulate the hot air for very fast and even cooking, and they are much more energy efficient than a regular oven.Price-wise, they are in the same range as microwave ovens, and offer a great alternative when dealing with foods that do not "nuke" well - a juicy medium-rare sirloin, for instance, done both sides in about 5 minutes, without turning.(You cannot use plastic or paper cookware in these ovens, as they use conventional heating elements.)
Why does the microwave spin while heating food?
The microwave spins while heating food to ensure that the food is heated evenly on all sides, helping to prevent hot spots and cold spots in the food.
Do airplanes have microwaves on board for heating up food?
No, airplanes do not have microwaves on board for heating up food. Instead, they use ovens or hot plates to heat up meals for passengers.
What are disadvantages of microwave?
Microwave ovens can sometimes heat food to quickly, too severely, or too unevenly, causing the outside to be cold and the inside too hot. Also, sometimes things can explode inside a microwave oven, so it's good to be careful with what you put in there.
What are the differences between a microwave and a convection microwave?
A microwave uses electromagnetic waves to heat food quickly and evenly, while a convection microwave has a fan and heating element to circulate hot air, allowing for faster and more even cooking.
I can microwave 1 hot dog in 30 seconds how many hot dogs can I microwave in 1 hour?
If you are microwaving one hot dog every 30 seconds, you could, at that rate, microwave 120 in one hour. The silly thing about this question is that if you needed to microwave 120 hot dogs you would put them all in the microwave together and set the time for 5 or 10 minutes. You also did not say how many microwave ovens you might have. If you had several, you could be microwaving tons of hot dogs.
Are all convection ovens 'true convection' or 'third element' convection?
Not all convection ovens are 'true convection' or 'third element' convection ovens. While true convection ovens have an additional heating element near the fan, which allows for more even heat distribution, traditional convection ovens may simply use a fan to circulate hot air without that extra heating element. The distinction is important as it affects cooking efficiency and results. Always check the specifications of an oven to determine its convection type.
