Wow. A metal pot? And the microwave still worked? Amazing. Thanks for sharing your story. It made me feel better about the foil. @Melissa, I think you and Amy are contenders for the best microwave story! Wow. A metal pot? And the microwave still worked? Amazing.

In a metal saucepan. There were flames and sparks and a hideous odor. My parents assumed the microwave was done for and wouldn't even let us try to use it. I'm not sure why it sat on the counter as long as it did, giant paper weight?, but a month or so later I braved a try and it worked just fine.

You'd have been better off melting the microwave. Yikes! Thanks for the amusing story -- and the warning! You burned your Mom’s good china? You’d have been better off melting the microwave. Yikes!

I guess the high fat content was to blame? Part of me (the dumb scientist part) wants to test this, but the smarter half says, learn from Maggie. I'll take your word for it! Thanks for the heads up.

The potatoes? "Ossified" to use Jodi's word. The microwave? Destroyed. But to initiate the replacement of furniture, carpeting and cupboards? That takes skill. This deserves special recognition of some kind. I need to create some sort of seal... I think this is the best microwave disaster story of the batch due to sheer scope of destruction.

Those blue sparks are pretty but horrifying! Glad I'm not the only one to forget about the gold rimmed china! Love the white hair detail. Those blue sparks are pretty but horrifying!

A perfect word for the circumstances. Wonder why he tried 45 minutes? Did he think a potato took hours or did he think the microwave was a toaster oven? Great story either way. Ossified?
