Both RF and Microwave.  Check this out: Microwave Cell Phone[\url].

This is nonsense.  You're so convinced the microwave is bad you have exaggerated in your head the effect it can have on the heated item.


EDIT:

To try this out, I taped a 1.5" square and .25" thick piece of cheese to the microwave door.  I put a mug of water in the microwave and ran it for 60 seconds on high.  The cheese was straight out of the fridge.  After 60 seconds it was still cool but warmed more than it would have been in 60 seconds on the counter.  Not much more, but it was probably warmed by the microwave a tiny bit.  My microwave is small and not very powerful, an older economy model.

boykster:
didn't your microwave die?  How did you test this out?

 :dunno

ChadTower:

The dead one is in the shed, I got a small old one off Freecycle a couple weeks ago.

Wanna have fun with a Microwave?  Put a lightbulb in a mug of water so that the metal part is submerged, but the rest is sticking out the top.  Put it in the microwave (why the ---fudgesicle--- do I automatically want to capitalize the first letter of microwave all the time?) for ten seconds.  It will turn on.  I ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- you not.  The microwave oven will be fine; don't worry.  But the lightbulb will turn on when you run the microwave.  It's awesome.
