steam
When you microwave food, steam is created as water in the food heats up and evaporates.
The steam formed during microwave cooking is entirely safe. It has to escape from the microwave
to prevent pressure from building up inside the microwave. It does this through the vents on the
back of the microwave and from around the door.
condensation
As the steam cools, you may find that condensation
gathers in small pools inside your microwave and on
the work surface beneath the door and vents. Always
dry the microwave after cooking foods with a high
moisture content.
Your microwave is designed to let steam escape from
the vents and around the door without microwave
energy escaping. There is no danger of microwave
energy escaping with the steam.
