Does a microwave have chemical energy?

If you are referring to the oven, the answer could be yes, as the turn table moves. However if you are referring to the electromagnetic wave known as a microwave then this is a form of electromagnetic energy...


Why can metal utensils get too hot touch when you are coming with them?

Metal utensils can get too hot to touch because metals are good conductors of heat. When they are exposed to high temperatures, such as when cooking on a stovetop or in an oven, they absorb and transfer heat quickly. This means that the heat from the cooking surface or food can travel up the utensil, making it hot enough to cause burns if touched. Always use caution and consider using heat-resistant materials or handles when working with hot metal utensils.


Why do you put plastic in microwave ovens?

The Reason for these is because Some Plastic Can Not Stand the heat that The MicroWave Oven melt produce therefore when you put a unstsble Plastic in the Microwave oven it Will meltAnother Response:Certain types of plastic may be recommended for use in microwave ovens because they allow the microwaves to pass through them. In this way the food inside the plastic container is cooked while the container stays cool. Not all plastics are microwave safe; some will melt. Metal cannot be used in microwaves. Some types of ceramic dishes, which may have metal elements in their glaze, are not safe in microwave ovens. Consequently some companies such as Tupperware, Rubbermaid and Pampered Chef produced lines of plastic cookware specifically for microwave ovens.More recently, studies suggest that molecular particles from some types of plastic migrate into food when heated in microwave ovens. While manufacturers maintain that their products are safe, some medical experts advise using only glass or safe ceramic cookware in microwave ovens.


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.


What are the dangers of microwave radiation?

In general, microwaves are harmful if they are very powerful and concentrated. All of our ordinary microwave-emitting devices are perfectly safe to use because they are very low power. A microwave oven doesn't release enough of the energy to cause harm when the door is properly closed - hence, a microwave that functions with a door open could be potentially harmful. Very powerful microwaves are harmful because they cause burns. Microwave radiation, despite popular claims, does not cause cancer or any other illness associated with exposure to ionizing radiation. Microwaves from cell phones, for example, are not powerful and concentrated enough to cause harm. In themselves, other than high power exposure - several kilowatts - that's many more times than what is inside an operating microwave oven, microwaves are not dangerous. However, injuries can occur from overheated foods - burns, scalds, eruptions and fires.
