Will my microwave work on the moon?

I can't believe that most of these people havn't heard of solar power. The ISS is covered in solar panels(they're not just to make it look spacey people, they actually function!) I'm sure that a large solar panel would be a lot more practical than a really long extension cord.

Actually, it's not a silly question at all.

The answer is, probably not.

The blender would probably spew the contents all over the place. Lower gravity would mean the blades would propel the food higher and harder then it would on Earth.

Unless the atmospheric pressure inside whatever dome you had your restaurant in was equal to the Earth's, the liquid in the crockpot and oil in the deep fryer wouldn't get hot enough to cook the food.

The toaster might get by as is.

hmm...

a) assume you have the correct power outlet for your appliances. (w/o this appliances won't even work on earth)

b) assume you are operating inside your habitat (atmospheric pressure and temperature). do NOT try to cook/bake in vacuum!!!

then the only difference to earth is the gravity, which is about 1/6th of earth.

- your blender will work a lot less efficient, since the rotation will shove all the stuff far more effectively away from the blades...

- your toaster has to be adjusted or your toasts will land far away...

- don't flip omelettes unless you have time to practice...

other than that, cooking and freezing should not be seriously affected.

additional problem will be your toaster, as it is a potential fire hazard. for the same reason no more gas stove, which is a pity.

I'll try to be a little more serious than the other posters.

The biggest problem you would have would be trying to use these items in the environment native to the moon (no atmosphere for instance). Nothing that uses heated or boiled liquids are going to work as any liquid would immediately dissipate.

I don't think the gravity difference (approximately 1/6 of that on earth) would be a problem.

Of course, if you were in a climate controlled structure at 1 atmosphere pressure, then of course they would work.

Good luck. I hope I get to visit your restaurant in the future.

You'd need a bloody long extension cord. But otherwise sure.

Watch the toaster, though, if you have the type that tosses toast in the air, it could go really high.

Theres no plug sockets. Or no gas pipes on the Moon.

If you did make a Bakery on the Moon. You will get no visitors anyways. At the moment, the population on Moon is decreasing. At the moment it is 0.

Sure they would.. just plug it into .... well as soon as you can find an electric outlet on the moon. This answerer is just as serious as your question.

As long as you have a 238,712 mile extension cord.

what the hell?

well, sure why not, ok?
