About the same thing that would happen if it was heated with the
same 2000 watt-minutes using a small immersion heater.

Try it.

I note that many of the same Intenet sites which say you should
never turn on an empty oven also recommend that dishes and other
utensils should be tested for usability in a microwave by
putting them in the microwave for 15 or 30 seconds and checking
to see if they get warm. Guess what, it they *don't* get warm,
that oven was electrically *empty*. As in the instructions are
contradicting the warning...

Reputable sources recommend to include with the dishes or utensils
that need to be checked, a small container of water.

So you admit those particular ones are *not* reputable...

Reality check: That one is particularly *hilarious*.

Q: What about the dangerous radiation?!!

A: Microwave ovens don't use "radiation." Instead they use
radio waves. ...

Exactly how do you think radio waves are propagated? Carried in
buckets, or perhaps, they might be radiated?

The cited source says it is not being radiated!

Like I said, *hilarious*.

And just what do you think happens to the power tubes used by SW
transmitters if their output is not fed into a well matched antenna
or dummy load for a couple of minutes? Yes, that's right. You need

Depends. First, that's not a magnetron. Second, you'll find
that modern transmitters can be disconnected from a load without
damage.

In the case of a microwave oven, don't you think that
realistically we can fully expect almost all cooks to
occasionally start a microwave oven without anything in the
oven? Can you imagine if that actually did damage the oven just
how popular microwave ovens would be? And yet *most* of them
seem to last many many years...

And once again, just how much of a load do you think an almost
fully popped bag of popcorn is providing for that magnetron.

It doesn't take but a small amount of perceptive thought to
realize that microwave ovens *necessarily* have to be designed
to tolerate operation with nothing in the oven.

to replace the power tubes. Don't try this too often, as Eimacs are
quite expensive. Yet again you're stubbornly and aggressively
displaying your ignorance. You can only bluff so long beyond the
boundaries of your knowledge before your bozo qualities become all
too obvious.

There you go again... not enough technical background to
support your arguments, so you must stoop to gratuitous personal
insults.

Generally (and we can assume you are no different) people who do
that describe themselves. A bit of projection that is always
interesting...
