a bag of popcorn set to 30 minutes instead of 3 might be all it takes and is an 'innocent' mistake anyone could make.

Gotta add aluminium foil for a good measure

I once accidentally microwaved a fork. I didn’t notice it because it was buried under the food and I just took out the container from the fridge and put it straight into the microwave. Nothing happened but I was horrified when I saw the fork afterwards. I wonder why it didn’t even cause sparks. Was it because it was underneath the food?

Having said that, it was a shitty microwave that couldn’t really heat food well, so maybe that’s why.

It's really not as dangerous as you'd think. I don't recommend it, but it'll be fine.

So forks don't work according to everyone. What about a cup of gasoline? Or what would be the absolute worst/most-dangerous thing you could put in a microwave?

The best thing would be aluminum foil, since steel can't reach the required charge

Stick the fork to an outlet instead

Big can of beans in the fryer will do the trick.

I don't get it

RTO? How about RT-NO.

Well, somebody watched a lot of Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? growing up.

Should’ve added grapes
