Microwave ovens are full of mysteries. One of those enigna is the crystal. What its there for beats me? I understand it uses in radio transceivers, tv, oscillators. Why microwave ovens?:ashamed1:

The magnetron tube in a microwave is a tuned oscillator generating microwaves, but the major tuning element is a properly sized cavity.
