    Old Microwave Ovens. How Do You Know If They're Really Safe or Not?
    Hi, All!

    I've heard things about old microwave ovens leaking the microwaves because the seals around the doors of them are old and not as secure.

    Is it true that some will leak the microwaves? And if so, is there a danger there?

    Thanks!

    How? You test them. Amazon.com: Digital Microwave Oven Leakage Meter: Kitchen & Dining

    Microwave oven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    So, for the most part, if the microwave isn't physically damaged, it's probably OK.

    Like you've been in the hospital a number of times in the past. It was my turn for almost a week, this past week!
