Shouldn't it be a dedicated circuit?( For future notice??)

Newb question but I'm testing my microwave on my 15 amp garage outlet with an orange extension cord and it's tripping the breaker.
SHOULD I be testing it on the 20 amp outlet that it uses above my stove?

If your nuker won’t nuke, nuke it. Use it for target practice! But do not repeat anything mentioned in this comment. For entertainment purposes only. 😀

Question: my microwave trips the breaker every time I run my washer or window a.c. How can I get this to stop?
If I put a breaker with maybe 5more amps than the one thats in the panel now is that gonna cause an overload fire?

[@commietrician2198]

do not increase the breaker amperage, its tripping for a reason

[@commietrician2198]

you are most likely overloading the system and possibly require a dedicated circuit

My microwave draws 18 amps

[@electricianhub86]

Is it rated for 18 amps?
