Microwave Oven Safety
Microwave Oven Safety
(OP)
Can any of you microwave specialists (or others) please tell me
- what is the range of frequencies used in microwave cooking, and
- how do the ovens prevent microwave radiation from coming out of the cooking enclosure (except at levels below statutary limits)?
Thankyou.

RE: Microwave Oven Safety
The cooking chamber is enclosed on all sides by metal plates except that the door has a perforated plate. These reflect the microwaves and prevent them from leaving the chamber.
