Scotty I put metal utensils in the microwave all the time and it causes no problems. The oven in question was purchased in the early 90's. Aluminum foil is also no problem. Staples, twist ties and such will cause sparks and fires, as I've accidentally discovered on a few occasions. |

I know a woman who put her cordless phone in the microwave and
accidently cooked it. Not sure if it sparked or not. I believe it somehow effected her husband's boatbuilding activities though.

So did you try this, or are we "still" talking and sniping based on hearsay? I have done it, I have seen the sparks. But since experience means little here, I will leave you all to your sniping... Like the man said, "tell us what your gonna do tonight, tomorrow"... I guess I should not talk about stitch and tape here either, guess I have not read enough books...

I read the instructions for my microwave oven but I'm not
going to post here what it said - why spoil everyone's fun? Why read instructions? They make life so much less interesting. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-freenet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |

I regularly place one gallon metal paint cans full of epoxy into my microwave (shop microwave not for food!) to warm them so I can pour out etc. Works great. No sparks ever. paul Backyard Renegade wrote: steveJ wrote in message ... I know a woman who put her cordless phone in the microwave and accidently cooked it. Not sure if it sparked or not.
