This is not possible, mainly for safety reasons having to do with the mechanics of the microwave. If the food container does not fit, then you might need to apportion the food and put it into smaller containers to heat it.
== As truth is a most valuable commodity, it is important to vend it. There are ways to get a microwave to run with the door open. To say that it is not possible is incorrect. But, at the same time, it is foolish and dangerous to even consider this. There are several questions (and answers) posted on the boards dealing with radioactive materials where individuals asked about "getting a hold of some" or the like. This question falls in the same catagory. There is a point here, so let's make it. It is a broadly accepted fact that when an individual wants information, even if it be of the same nature as is being asked for in this question, that person will scour the countryside to get it. It's just that simple. But by giving out the information here, it is believed that (at least in this case) the person, who has a high probability of finding out what he wants to know anyway, will also come away fully warned and pointedly aprised of possible consequences associated with moving forward to investigate something which has been asked about. Running a microwave with the door open causes the microwave radiation to exit the cavity and radiate out into the surrounding area. It will be reflected and scattered in a "normal" way. Anything biochemical (living) around it will absorb some of this energy. And this presents a danger to the living tissue. It will warm, but can be killed by the heat. Heat causes chemical changes in biochemical materials. That's what "cooking" does, too. Proteins dissociate (break apart) and there a zillion more reactions possible. Operating a microwave with the door open is an invitation to a disaster. It's like checking the fuel level in a gas can with a lighted match. Please don't even think of trying this. It is foolish beyond words.
What else can I help you with?
What are the symptoms of a bad microwave door switch?
Symptoms of a bad microwave door switch include the microwave not turning on, the light not turning on when the door is opened, or the microwave running with the door open.
Is it safe to leave the microwave running with the door open?
No, it is not safe to leave the microwave running with the door open as it can lead to radiation leakage and pose a health risk.
Why is your microwave working when you open it?
The door switch is faulty.
Why does your microwave oven go on whenever door is opened?
There is a switch in the door, when the switch is activated the light comes on, not the microwave itself. Additionally the switch actually prevents the microwave from activating (while the door is open).
What is the function of a microwave door switch and how does it contribute to the safety and operation of a microwave oven?
The microwave door switch is a safety feature that prevents the microwave from operating when the door is open. It ensures that the microwave only functions when the door is securely closed, reducing the risk of exposure to harmful microwave radiation. This contributes to the safe operation of the microwave oven by protecting users from potential accidents or injuries.
Can you get radiation from the microwave by opening the door before the cycle is finished?
Not unless it's broken. When the door opens, the cycle is supposed to stop immediately. It's supposed to be impossible for the unit to run with the door open, even for an instant. Yet, if the door is opened before the microwave has gone through the required number of beeps(when time is up) one might run the risk of radiation exposure, only for a short while. Which ultimately increases chances of cancer.
What will happen if a microwave is opened while it is heating something?
Nothing because the microwave does not work when thy door is open.
Can you open the doors of a microwave and mix the food while still it is cooking or should you keep on turning off and on the microwave every-time you want to mix the food?
Most microwave ovens automatically turn off when you open the door. Some others that use dials for timers must be turned to "OFF" to open the door. No microwave oven should operate (actively be running) when the door is opened.
How do you get a microwave to stop running when the door is open even though no heat-radiation is being omitted?
If your microwave keeps running with the door open, the most likely cause is a faulty door switch. This switch is meant to cut off power when the door is open for safety reasons. You should unplug the microwave immediately and have it inspected and repaired by a professional technician to prevent any potential safety hazards.
What is the function of the whirlpool microwave door switch and how does it contribute to the overall operation of the appliance?
The whirlpool microwave door switch is a safety feature that detects whether the microwave door is open or closed. It contributes to the overall operation of the appliance by ensuring that the microwave only operates when the door is securely closed, preventing any potential harm or accidents.
How do you open a microwave door that won't open?
Take the oven to an appliance repair shop. It sounds like the door safety interlock has jammed the opening mechanism.
Do i damage my microwave oven by opening it while its operating?
Absolutely not. When you open the door of your microwave oven it causes safety switches to shut off all the microwave power. Then, when you close the door, the switches are reset and the microwave power is ready to be energized as soon as you push the on button so you can resume cooking.
