If your microwave sparks while in use, it's generally not safe to continue using it or consume the food. Sparks can indicate a malfunction or the presence of metallic objects, which could lead to further damage or fire hazards. It's best to stop the microwave immediately, inspect it for any issues, and discard the food if there’s any concern about contamination or overheating. Always consult the microwave's manual or a professional for guidance on safety.

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.

Is it safe to eat food that has been refrozen?

Refreezing food is generally safe if it has been thawed in the refrigerator and has not been left at room temperature for more than two hours. However, the quality of the food may degrade, affecting texture and taste. If the food was thawed using other methods, such as in warm water or the microwave, it should be cooked before refreezing.
