Questions and Answers

* Q: Can I run my microwave oven empty?
* A: No. Do not operate the microwave empty.
This will damage it. If the microwave is
operated empty, the excess energy will be
absorbed and focused at the weakest point
of the cavity door, potentially causing door
melting/arcing. The energy will not normally

food material in the cavity. Low load items
are items of food that contain little or no

may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk
membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the
yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never
