some strange things have happened to me whilst using a microwave also... i once put a boiled egg in there to warm it up (the top was already off) and fuck me it went EVERYWHERE!
another time i was removing a bowl of 'Princes tender chunks of steak in a rich onion gravy' from there and as i moved it it litterally just 'popped' like some one had put a firework in the middle of it! i was covered in boiling gravy and lumps of steak

pmsl, rudey shes a wrongun, if a bird cant even use a microwave sunday dinners are deffo off the menu


in saying that my old microwave started sparking when i tried to stick potatoes in it

i thought fook it and bought a bling bosch oven with built in microwave in it ( not a microwave with a metal rod at the top claiming its a oven )

never looked back and it opens from top to botom

infact i love that more than my ceramic hob as thats a fooking coont to clean as when ya spill things on it the fooker welds it self to it

oh and my oven is also self cleaning, well its kid of mis leading as ya still gotta wipe the inside but the stuff dont stick to it, to me self cleaning is it gets our the wall and hops up to the bathroom for a quck shower then come back all fresh and clean

see no fooker listens to what the customers actually want

You CAN pput foil into a microwave

and i GARUNTEE it wont spark but there is a trick to it , some food stuffs cook better when sealed in foil as they are then steamed within their own steam so less dry when cooked Jacket Pots being one example of thi

You have to ensure that you put the item ie foil wrapped potatoe in a tupperware tub etc SEALED with a lid

The microwaves will pass through the tuupperware but they will be slightly magnified meaning they wont pass BACk out of the tupperware tub

Unlike foil in the microwaeve that reflects the rays straight back at the machine etc

Nige

Try it i DARE YOU ALL

im right
