Ta da!

but its supposed to be noisy and ruin the microwave oven.

Why is it "supposed" to be noisy and ruin the oven?


What do you suppose your microwave oven is made of?

There is one exception which is a metal container with
a special coating for microwaves.

Did you really spend your own money on that? Think about that one for a
moment. Is the "special coating" conductive? Does it absorb microwaves?
Does it reflect them? Is it made of some miracle material that even
Lockheed and the Air Force don't know about yet?

Whenever I've put metal in the microwave (accidentally), it has
produced lots of sparks.

Try putting an AOL CD in an old microwave. Light show!

It really is fantastic! I am tempted to put a switch on the light so
that it shows up better! Steel wool is also pretty good.

This only occurs with very thin coatings or slivers of metal. Placing a
metal spoon or pan in a microwave will have no effect.

Which is precisely the point I was trying to make in my first post on
the subject.

Except when the length of the spoon is exactly a half wavelength of
2.45GHz....
