Education, Trial by Error

Any moron knows that, I guess Elliot needs a few if not many, IQ points to get to the moron level!

Ever do that?

Not on purpose.

But – according to its instruction manual – you may loosely cover a bowl of food with foil as long as it doesn’t touch the inner walls.

Or cats.

My girlfriend did it to mine.

You can put metal in the microwave. But unless you’re careful, you get Frizzle… zing! Zap! Zot! Ping! Crink!

Now, there are things you cannot put in the microwave: a full sheet of plywood, a big screen tv, your favourite chair, or anything else that’s too big.

Nobody told him???

“Don’t put metal in the science oven!” – Jennifer Lawrence (or Bradley Cooper) in American Hustle. Lol

What’s really cool?…pop an old cd or dvd in the microwave, set it for 2 seconds, and watch the fireworks display! (wouldn’t recommend doing this too often tho!)

Well you live, you learn, you buy a new microwave.

A decent quality microwave shouldn’t have any problem with less than one minute of foil as long as there’s a load (food or water) , or the foil is smooth and unwrinkled. But it is exciting! Ymmv. (Experiment: Place two 3/4" foil balls touching in a microwave. Cover with clear Pyrex glassware. Witness plasma, the fourth state of matter!)
