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.
