Hot Meals, Cool Manners

Microwave Etiquette

Power-Up Practices

  • Cover your food with a microwave-safe lid or paper towel to prevent splatters
  • Clean up after yourself – wipe down the turntable and interior walls if needed
  • Use microwave-safe containers – look for the microwave-safe symbol
  • Monitor your food while it's heating to prevent overflow or burning
  • Allow others to use the microwave if you're heating multiple items
  • Wait your turn – respect the queue during busy lunch hours
  • Report any issues to Saitsa at microwaves@saitsa.com

Meltdown Mistakes

  • Don't put metal, aluminum foil, or silverware in the microwave
  • Don't slam the microwave door or press buttons forcefully
  • Don't leave the microwave dirty for the next person
  • Don't set extremely long cooking times and walk away
  • Don't heat fish or other strong-smelling foods in shared spaces
  • Don't attempt to repair the microwave yourself – report issues instead
  • Don't use the microwave to dry clothing, books, or non-food items

With Great Wattage Comes Great Responsibility

Saitsa is proud to provide and maintain these microwaves as a service to SAIT students. Unfortunately, we've recently had to replace several units due to misuse and damage. If this trend continues, we may be unable to continue providing this valuable service.

SAIT has indicated that Saitsa is responsible for any electrical upgrades needed to support current and future microwaves on campus. Without Saitsa's involvement, it's unlikely that these appliances would remain available.

By following our simple etiquette rules, you help ensure that all students will continue to have access to hot meals on campus for years to come. Every microwave we replace is money that could be going to other student services and initiatives.
