How to start a fire in your microwave

Besides sticking something metal or foil in there.  This is a new one. I'm betting no one thought of it before.

I don't know if you can tell, but this method will also give you a nice, black sooty film all over the entire inside of your microwave. It's a joy to clean up, it really is.

So what's this new way of almost destroying a perfectly good microwave? A hand warmer. One of those little bitty packs you just shake and then it heats up. Someone around here wanted a hand warmer during our cold, blustery wind storm yesterday, so they assumed it needed a spin in the zapper to heat it up.

It worked all right. The good news is that by some miracle our microwave still works.

Don't try this at home.
