Hey Julie, I have always wondered about my microwave. If I open the door while it’s working, am I releasing dangerous waves in the air? - Betty B., Shiner. Hi Betty! In the 50 years since microwaves first entered our kitchens, people have questioned their safety and effectiveness. While they do use radiation, microwaves have lower energy than more harmful, “ionized” radiation such as gamma rays or X-rays, according to the CDC. Microwaves are even below ultraviolet and visible light on the energy spectrum, and they’re not associated with the cancer risks of high energy wavelengths. Microwave doors have a built-in failsafe that stops the radiation when opened during a cooking cycle, but manufacturers recommend using the stop or pause button before opening to preserve this feature over the life of the appliance. Opening the door during a cooking cycle can cause electrical damage to the unit and may lead to replacing your microwave more often. It only takes a second to press a button, and I think it’s worth the effort to get the most life out of your microwave!
