Mental Microwave

jackoh · 6 Oct 2008 at 20:24

Hi guys,

Got a microwave in my student house, I think it may have gone mental, it turned a defrosted chicken breast into a smoking black mess in 5 minutes, and has just cooked a huge jacket potato in 90 seconds.

It seems to have gained more power, how has this happened. Also I am wondering whether i should eat anything out of it?

Cheers

What happens if you put a mushroom in it? If it goes green then the microwave has got more power.

It's not some kind of uber microwave escaped from the future is it?

It's become a time machine, you must climb in it. Now.

Watch out for leaking microwaves...

You normally shouldn't put metal into a microwave. I'd love to see a vid of what happens if you were to break this rule..

continue to eat of it enjoying the speedy cookingness of it all, but if you do drop down dead, just remember you got to do more because cooking took less time....ignore the fact your dead

That chicken breast will be fine with some mustard.

Does the microwave have 'chaos defrost'?

You can put batteries in microwaves to charge them up. I suggest you do this with 48 batteries that you need recharging.

I'll be checking BBC news tomorrow.

Car batteries are best. Was too big to turn on the turntable, kept hitting the sdes. Charged in about 3 mins though, damn handy those microwaves !!!

Flip the switch back from 110v to 220v before you blow up the dorm.
