“What makes up the antibacterial coating? Is it a chemical antibacterial agent or more just such a smooth surface that things can't seep in and grow? (Won't the microwaves kill off anything trying to grow in it?)”

The antibacterial coating used in the LG 0.9 cu. ft. NeoChef™ Countertop Microwave with Smart Inverter and EasyClean®, Model # LMC0975ST is not a chemical agent. Antimicrobial surfaces are functionalized in a variety of different processes. Copper and its alloys (brasses, bronzes, cupronickel, copper-nickel-zinc, and others) are natural antimicrobial materials that have intrinsic properties to destroy a wide range of microorganisms. Silver is also another metal known to have antimicrobial properties The EasyClean® enamel used in the microwave cavity resists stains and buildup of spills and splatter on the interior walls. The magnetron that generates the radio waves and blasts them into the food compartment through a channel called a wave guide. The microwaves bounce back and forth off the reflective metal walls of the food compartment, just like light bounces off a mirror. When the microwaves reach the food itself, they don't simply bounce off. Just as radio waves can pass straight through the walls of your house, so microwaves penetrate inside the food. As they travel through it, they make the molecules inside it vibrate more quickly. Vibrating molecules have heat so, the faster the molecules vibrate, the hotter the food becomes. Thus the microwaves pass their energy onto the molecules in the food, rapidly heating it up. This doesn't happen on the walls which is why the walls are an assisted antibacterial surface...^IFV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Well this is easy to clean inside. Modern charcoal gray procelean interior. Compare to others in the market. Seems better, safe & no edges inside to clean liquid. It won't seep through while cleaning.
