Is it true that microwave ovens cook food using non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation?
Yes. The FDA states that microwaves are a form of non-ionizing radiation and that microwave ovens cook food by producing microwaves that are absorbed by food, causing water molecules to vibrate and produce heat. Other reference sources likewise classify microwaves as non-ionizing radiation.
