hinges and a handle

A2. The fine mesh printed on the glass is to prevent microwaves escaping throughthe glass and damaging your eye when you look in.

The wavelength of a microwave cooker is around 120mm, and any mesh smaller than 1/4 wavelength will do the job of blocking the radiation - about 1/20 of a wavelength is a good safe target.

Why is it important that the walls and door of a microwave oven reflect the microwave radiation?

Can you open the doors of a microwave and mix the food while still it is cooking or should you keep on turning off and on the microwave every-time you want to mix the food?
