Don't listen to these guys, OP. Microwaves are far deadlier than they're being given credit for, and they're by far the most dangerous appliance most people have in their kitchens: with their unrivaled blend of portability and heft, statistically, you're far likelier to be bludgeoned to death with a microwave than any other appliance. The toaster is a distant second, but they simply lack the weight to be lethal in the hands of most amateurs.
