The Pattersons borrowed a camp stove and a mini fridge and Gordon interrupts Michael before he can say what the next item is, so we are supposed to assume it was the microwave. While it would be easy to assume they borrowed the microwave too, considering the last time we saw Elly cooking she was using the hot plate, John actually bought the microwave 7 years ago. This is the first time we have heard of it since.
As to whether Gordon could get a fly in a microwave, I have no idea how he could do that. Catching a live fly and then getting the fly into the microwave and closing the door on it seems like a very difficult task to me. I have a hard time just herding a fly in a general direction. My inclination is to think that Gordon is just talking about something he would like to do instead of something he has actually done.
