I’m on my 3rd microwave. Ramen noodles caught fire twice. I forgot to add water once, go figure. The second time, I put them in for 33 minutes and 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Started playing Xbox and forgot until I got hungry again and heard the smoke alarms going off. Flames were coming out of the microwave door so high they burned the cabinets above black, it was a brand new microwave. 3rd time was a metal coffee mug. Who makes a F-ing metal coffee cup so you can’t reheat your coffee. It was cool watching the electric sparks and lines fly though.
No regrets. It was the grandparents microwaves. LOL.
I often put things on the microwave for like 20-30 minutes at power 2-3, just because I know I’m going to lose track of time (and things are usually better cooked slowly in the microwave, I find).
I once left a pot of water boiling for so long that the water boiled away and the bottom of the pan started to melt. When I took it off the burner, parts of the pot dripped on the floor and burned the linoleum.
I have fallen asleep while boiling hotdogs to wake up in a smoky mess with black tar hotdog welded to the bottom of the pot. And it was my brother’s house.
Hm, I guess it would be more impressive if my internal clock allowed me to heat for exactly 1:59 seconds and open the microwave at 00:01. Maybe heat-pulsing food isn’t the answer?
Add a dash of ADHD memory issues and this is almost guaranteed to burn your house down.
Ahh here we go, I have to admit this.

Have you ever burnt tea (to dust from liquid and melted kettle handle in the process) while reheating it?
'tis but one of my life’s achievements

One time I cooked two frozen pizzas at the same time, one melted through the grate while the other was still frozen. Pretty proud of that one.
Oh, and one time I scarred my brother so bad by making Kool-aid with salt instead of sugar that he stopped drinking it forever.
My mom burnt a pot of spaghetti.
Yes, burnt. To a crisp.
Seeing as how you can sinter metal powder in a microwave, that’s not too surprising. Burning food still takes some effort though.
I thought only Homer Simpson did that.
I have learned that some people do like to crisp them, whether that’s intentional or not 😂 glances at my partner

I set my microwave to 2:00 and I’m always back in time to open it at exactly 1:59. So I think I’m going to use this hack.
I think you should probably heat your food for more than 1 second

Yeah. I know myself too well to use this “hack”
