A very useful description and schematic of the microwave circuitry called: "The Microwave Oven Voltage-Doubler Circuit Used in the High Voltage Circuits of Commercial & Residential Microwave Ovens "
is shown at: <http://www.gallawa.com/microtech/doubler.html> This is very useful to insure that you know what is going on if you are using the converted microwave oven for CS making. My impression is that, unlike the high voltage capacitor in the TV, the capacitor in the microwave usually has a bleeder resistor of some sort in parallel so that it will discharge over a (relatively) short period of time. Also, as long as the circuit has continuity, and the electrodes are in the water cell, it should bleed off across the cell as well. Still, be cautious. If you don't know something about electricity, definitely don't do this.
