A common question that people have - now especially since we are into the summertime months - is whether it is possible to use microwave ovens out-of-doors. The short answer is yes - with conditions. First of all, microwave ovens can draw a lot of power, so make sure that your electrical outlet outside can handle the current draw. Secondly, keep your oven out of the sun and heat - this will help it to work more efficiently. Finally, do not allow your microwave oven to sit outside during any rainstorm, or allow it to get wet (from swimming pools and water fountains and the like).
