Microwave Fire!!
Out stainless steel microwave caught fire today. :eek:
It's cooked its own door, sparking the metal just behind he viewing glass, which then set a blase birght purple sparks (like a welder) before catching on fire with a yellowy purple flame. :eek:
It was lucky I was in the kitchen to spot it. Or else things may have been worse.
Got to buy a new one now.

like that bit at the end of The Fly when he's halfway through the doorway of the telepod...
only a microwave
I was not planning to turn it on for one more go so I could film it.
It looked f---ing dangerous.
The wife was just melting a bigish bar of chocolate in a pudding bowl.
Nope nothing like that, its been acting up a bit for a number of days, making a louder than usual vibrating noise. I once did before see a small spark from the door, but could not replicate it so just ignored it (with a little caution).
Now its in the recycling plant. I made a point of telling the guys that work there the story, just incase they plan on plundering the spoils of their yard to take home (this goes on allot, my dads mate worked in one).
Infact (for those who know their synths) I once found the blue touch keyboard of a Synthi AKS in the one my dads mate worked at, they kindly let me take it home. Needless to say it sold for a high price. :D
Or your wife left the metal stirring spoon in the bowl. That looks impressive.
No I think it was your first suggesttion, all it needs is a little chip of paint to be knocked off the perforated metal that sits behind the viewing glass.
There used to be a plastic sheet on the door to cover the perforated metal but that peeled away some months ago.

i cellotape bacon to the outside of my microwave oven. If nasty microwave radiation does start to escape, it will cook the bacon, and you can switch the things off.
you must replace the bacon daily if you want to be hygenic.
i made it up myself, sounds like a top tip though. :)
was reading a womans mag the other day, as some one had left it lying around on the train. these women sent in some money saving tips. they were shocking, just like top tips but more serious. the only one i remeber clearly went something like.
dear womans mag
i have often thought about my gas usage when cooking veg, so my tip to other readers would be instead of using lots of different pots to boil your veg, simply put it all in one pot and boil it together
yours sincerly

brill, so you get over cooked peas, under cooked carrots etc.
i suppose you could add the veg at different times, but that'd be fucking stupid. and you get all your veg mixed up in a pile instead of neatly uniformed sections.
You know you're actually onto something here, some people might not care but if my veg is mixed up I get annoyed. The only way I like my veg mixed up is in a soup, or a curry, or if it came packaged that way maybe certain pies can get away with it as well.
you can buy mixed veg in tins and frozen. but yeah i like mine in its own little areas, so i can keep track on how much i have got left. Its very stressfull sometimes, cos you have to judge how much to eat. nothing worse that being left with mash and no meat or veg. everything has to have its place, cept gravy which is a rebel and goes where it wants. i used to make a little resevoir in my mash for it, but it was tricky to keep in in there while trying to eat around it. when the dam broke i used to shout 'run fer your lives' and try and eat all the peas before they got drowned. But i was out in a restaurent a few years ago, and my date gave me a right funny look.
my mum cooks carrots and peas in the same pot.
I was trying to do a roast spud and I could smell and hear arcing, then I could see little bursts of light from inside. I know the paint had peeled off around the track where the plate rotates, and it'd started to rust. But it looks like it's burned a hole right through the base and it was arcing all around the edge of the hole.

Only joking.
I do like to keep my veg seperated, unless I am having peas and mash, then I like to use a chunk of mash on the end of my fork to pick up the peas. Only works with garden peas though, too messy with mushy peas but I don't like them anyway..
Or any two of parsnips, potatoes and carrots all in the same roasting pan.

Strikes me as odd to paint the interior of a microwave - even the silver finish ones I've seen are painted inside. Is it so much more expensive to make the interior out of stainless steel?
