Is it safe to put food in cabinets above microwave?

Microwaves do not emit radiation when they are turned off, so it is safe to store food in the cabinets above a microwave. However, it is important to keep in mind that microwaves can generate heat when they are turned on, so it is best to avoid storing anything in the cabinets directly above the microwave that could be damaged by heat, such as plastic containers or flammable materials.

For microwave safety, it is also recommended to microwave only food-safe containers and to follow the heating instructions provided by the food manufacturer or recipe.
