  Should’ve added grapes

  Yellow nails? Makes me think of Kenji Lopez alt. But probably just a coincidence. Or is this actually from one of their videos?

  a bag of popcorn set to 30 minutes instead of 3 might be all it takes and is an ‘innocent’ mistake anyone could make.

  Gotta add aluminium foil for a good measure

  I once accidentally microwaved a fork. I didn’t notice it because it was buried under the food and I just took out the container from the fridge and put it straight into the microwave. Nothing happened but I was horrified when I saw the fork afterwards. I wonder why it didn’t even cause sparks. Was it because it was underneath the food?

  Having said that, it was a shitty microwave that couldn’t really heat food well, so maybe that’s why.

    Cutlery doesn’t spark, only thin pieces of metal do. It does get very hot though. If you use a stainless steel fork you can submerge it in a cup of ramen and it’ll heat up noticeably faster in the microwave.

      Even thin metal is hard to get to arc. Electroboom did an episode on it and he really struggled to get an arc, even with aluminum foil.

    See my other comment, metal in a microwave is sometimes OK but there is a good reason we scare people from trying it.

    Thin metal arcs in a microwave; I’ve seen a fork arc from the tines, never seen any other cutlery do it. The arcing is the air turning to plasma, so if it was buried in food with no access to air, it wouldn’t arc

    I microwave my coffee every morning with a teaspoon in it at work and nothing happens.

      It’s actually the recommended way to heat up liquids in a microwave, especially higher viscosity liquids that don’t mix quickly like a sauce. Since the spoon can transfer heat to the center faster than the liquid can by itself. The waves can’t penetrate far into the liquid and can’t heat up the core of a volume of liquid unless it’s spread out. Just make sure the spoon doesn’t touch the sides when it rotates.

      My microwave has a sticker so you don’t heat liquids without a teaspoon. I’ve heated milk in it every day for years, every time with a teaspoon in it. It also heats up faster with it.

  Stick the fork to an outlet instead

  So forks don’t work according to everyone. What about a cup of gasoline? Or what would be the absolute worst thing you could put in a microwave?

    Glue a shrimp in the bottom far right corner using super glue. Super glue does not get heated by the microwave and a small shrimp will go unnoticed for weeks

  It’s really not as dangerous as you’d think. I don’t recommend it, but it’ll be fine.

  The best thing would be aluminum foil, since steel can’t reach the required charge
