Is microwave still safe to use after burnt food?

I was microwaving food and I guess i microwaved it for too long and the food burnt and smoke started

pouring out. (the smoke was from the food)

My only concern is if the microwave is still safe to use after using high microwave energy and the burnt smoke.

I tested it with microwaving water for 1 minute and it was fine. I'm just scared it would break/expload if i use it for longer times.

please help!

    Your microwave is OK. Now if the smoke and burning was from cooking something in metal, the microwave would be too dangerous to use.

    Burned food turns black.... Black food isn't good for other food. It gets hard and flies and other insects and rodents will nibble and it will be come unable to eat the food. Also if you use the microwave 9+ times a day it could explode
