How can one safely microwave a hot water bottle?

The best way to safely microwave a hot water bottle is to heat the water in a separate microwave safe container in the microwave and then put the microwaved, hot water into the water bottle.


What will happen if you turn on a microwave with nothing in it?

the microwave will get really hot


Does microwave water effect plants?

No it does not because it is just hot water.


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.


Is a oven electromagnet energy?

Most ovens do involve electromagnetic energy. Microwave ovens are the best example because they work by deliberate creation of radio-type radiation similar to the radiation from a radar antenna or dish. It is in the VHF (very high frequency) wavelength ( about 50cm). Microwave radiation excites the water molecules in the food in the oven. Ony food which contains water will be heated. An electric oven has red-hot elements which heat things in two ways. The air near the hot elements is heated by conduction and the the hot air then moves to the items to be cooked and passes the heat on to them also by conduction. The other way is by electromagnetic radiation, but not by VHF radio-like waves. The heat radiation from hot elements is electromagnetic, but the wavelength is much shorter. It is just a little longer than visible red light's wavelength which less than one millionth of a millimetre. It is called infra-red radiation. This heat heats the food in the oven in just the same way as the sun warms your skin when you stand in direct sunlight.

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 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.


What stays hot even when its cold?

A microwave dinner or a heated blanket would remain hot even when it's cold outside.


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.


Which microwave oven has the most even cooking surface?

Microwave ovens which feature a glass turntable provide the most even cooking of foods. The turntable automatically rotates the food through the cooking zone to even out those hot and cold spots.


How do Microwave Ovens work?

The working part of a microwave is a cavity magnetron. In essence it converts electricity into radiation of the microwave wavelength. The radiation then excites the atoms in the food and it becomes hot. The Cavity magnetron was also a vital invention in the history of radar, without it the Allies might have lost the second World War.


Why does outside of microwave get very hot?

Because like everything else microwaves are made in China and companies have thrown Quality Control out the window. Most companies do not want to manufacture high quality items anymore but want them to break down as soon as you start using them. It is the biggest scam that the American public has fallen for without putting up a fight.


What are the advantages of having a combination oven?

Combination microwave ovens, which incorporate the qualities of a convection oven with the speed and ease of a microwave, cook faster and more evenly than a regular microwave. Circulating hot air makes a combi oven a better choice for browning and roasting.


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 middle of a potato get hot more quickly with a microwave oven rather than a conventional oven?

A microwave heats things up from the inside out. Whereas an oven bakes from the outside, and works its way in.
