NO....The capacitors inside Microwave Ovens can not take the RF feedback 
from a TC ! They will explode violently, and cause SERIOUS injury! I've done

this before** The oil will vapourise from over arcs in the capacitor and 
finally ...KABOOM!

Microwave Oven Capacitors are ment only for controlling current...and DC 
retification. They have a huge amount of inductance as they are a paper+ oil

and MYLAR dielectric rolled capacitor!
