It smelled every time we used the microwave for a couple months. I did teach her to unplug the toaster before removing anything with a metal utensil. And she does know about metal in the microwave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-teach-my-kids-to-iron-got-me-thinking#post-1671995 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 02:27:44 +0000 Windchime 1671995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh oh, like Diana's friend, I have to 'fess up to accidentally punching an extra "0" when setting the timer for microwave popcorn.

The office was across the street from, and in direct eyesight of, the town fire department.<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-teach-my-kids-to-iron-got-me-thinking#post-1671876 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 23:30:10 +0000 BrieN 1671876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for reminding me of the science oven, rabbit!

I remember when microwaves were new, exotic technology. Remember all those microwave cookbooks where you could supposedly roast a chicken, etc?</p> <p>My lovely spouse recently rendered our microwave inoperable by cleaning the inside with 409, instead of warm soapy water. Fortunately he researched it and replaced the wave plate, which was $5 or something on the internet, which fixed it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-teach-my-kids-to-iron-got-me-thinking#post-1671808 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:56:39 +0000 Anonymous 1671808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no!&nbsp; Nuclear meltdown!</p> <p>My husband was home alone and wanted to repair the sole on his favorite sneakers.&nbsp; The superglue had hardened, so he put it in the&nbsp;&nbsp; microwave to "soften it up."&nbsp; It blew up, made a terrible smell, and the microwave was rendered useless.&nbsp; This is a man with two advanced degrees in engineering!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-teach-my-kids-to-iron-got-me-thinking#post-1671794 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:43:05 +0000 Ledonna N. 1671794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no.&nbsp; lol oh I hope everything turned out okay. </p> <p>&nbsp;My niece put the cop of noodles in the microwave with out water.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-teach-my-kids-to-iron-got-me-thinking#post-1671777 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:24:44 +0000 Glory 1671777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That post got me laughing when I recalled that very recently there were sparks flying in my microwave. My eldest, almost 20, was busy making something in a metal bowl.&nbsp;<br />I taught him how to cook the basics long ago but forgot to mention no metal in the microwave.</p>
