Of course there's a percentage of radiation that gets out, that's how you can see your food spinning round.

I'm fairly sure the holes are sized such that only certain wavelengths can leave, but that could be nonsense.

It's not nonsense

Of course, you can block/scatter visible light that way, but it's awfully difficult (since the holes would be tiny)
