1. A method for protecting a magnetron connected to a microwave oven comprising the steps of:
positioning one or more containers on a conveyer belt which passes through the microwave oven, where each container is holding a dummy load which is not an actual product for microwaving;
ramping up the magnetron while a container is passing through the microwave oven;
positioning product for microwaving on the conveyer belt; and
applying microwave energy to the product.
