What happens if i open a microwave oven really quickly (while it is turned on)??

Question

If i put something inside to cook on "high" then quickly open the door (without pressing the stop button) while it is cooking, will radiation poor out and damage me?

Answer 1

Dude, "poor out and damage you"?? Do yourself a favor and dont use the microwave..  Try an "easy bake' oven instead..  

Answer 2

I think it automaticly turns off unless it's really really really old.

Answer 3

hahahahahhahaa try it...i don't want to ruin your fun lol

Answer 4

It stops and the microwave will stop.

I think that it is in such small incremental doses you shouldn't be affected.  You are exposed to all sorts of radiation, carcinogen on a daily basis, you should be fine.

Answer 5

A chef in a restaurant fixed up his microwave so it didnt have a door, and yet he could still microwave things.  He did this to safe time, and to be able to reach in and grab food while it was cooking.  Well he ended up getting cancer in his hand.  Hope that answers your question.

Answer 6

ABSOLUTELY NOT will you suffer any *radiation* from your microwave oven.

The radiation is only "active" within the confines inside the cooking area.  Once the door is Opened, the power shuts off, immediately.

Answer 7

It just stops! Did you really ask this question??

Answer 8

radiation will get u even if the door is closed and ur within range but not a lot.

mayb for a split second... maybe

but it has safety stuff that will make it stop.

Answer 9

I dunno, but I like your intrest in microwaves. Maybe we can get together sometime and put metal in there!!!! XP

Answer 10

No.  A microwave uses radio waves to cause molecules in the food to start jumping around and heat the food.  It is instantaneous when you open the microwave door that it shuts off.  There will not be radiation, and nothing will happen to you.

Answer 11

Dude...just don't open the stupid thing quickly if you're worried about it.  Seriously.

Answer 12

it exploded and shards of glass goes everywer and watever was in it gets radioactive and eats you....what u think it turns off obviously

Answer 13

no, the microwave just stops (as if you touched the stop button)

Answer 14

no.  It shuts off at the speed of light.  Much faster than you can get the door open.  It is safe

Answer 15

lol, after reading the first answer, I no longer think that the microwave would explode.  

Answer 16

microwave go stop stop.........

Answer 17

The microwave turns off...
