Because, if the fuse blows due to an interlock switch failure, it ruptures so hard that a regular glass fuse would shatter, possibly scattering shards of glass into the cooking area, which would create a health hazard.

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.


Can micro waves ovens cause cancer?

Microwave ovens do not cause cancer when used properly. They cook food by agitating water molecules, producing heat, and do not emit ionizing radiation, which is the type linked to cancer. Concerns about cancer risk often stem from improper use or damaged appliances, which can lead to exposure to radiation. However, when maintained and operated according to the manufacturer's guidelines, microwave ovens are considered safe.

How does the wavelength of waves used in microwave ovens compare with the wavelength of waves used for radar?

The wavelength of waves used in microwave ovens is typically in the range of centimeters, while the wavelength of waves used in radar is typically in the range of centimeters to meters. Radar waves have longer wavelengths compared to the waves used in microwave ovens, allowing them to travel longer distances and penetrate certain materials.


Where can I find more information on convection oven cooking?

Does it required to close the food for heating in microwave?

Microwave ovens should not be used if the door will not close tightly. Most microwave ovens will not turn on without the door locking. The door has shielding in the glass to keep stray microwaves within the oven and not going into the room or the person operating the oven.


What is the relationship between the microwave light spectrum and its impact on food heating in microwave ovens?

The microwave light spectrum is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is used in microwave ovens to heat food. When the microwaves interact with the water molecules in the food, they cause the molecules to vibrate rapidly, generating heat. This heat is what ultimately cooks or heats up the food in the microwave oven.
