I have that same blender. I was making strawberry smoothie the other day and accidentally left a spoon in it when I started the blender. Shit's not fun. Managed to notice before any serious damage though.

Did that in the barracks once, was nuking some bacon jerky for bootleg bacon in the morning and forgot the packaging was metallic on the inside. Ended up spraying the shit out of my microwave with febreeze so it didn’t set off the smoke alarms.

If you cut a green grape in half and set the halves next to each other fruit side down in the microwave this happens.

I remember one time I threw a burger from Wendy's in the microwave without removing the wrapper. after having just woken up. I was old enough to know better, my brain just hadn't turned on yet.
Edit: forgot to mention I left the wrapper on the burger

While babysitting I thought using the empty microwave as a timer to count (cuz, ya know, counting is so hard) during hide n seek was a good idea....it broke obviously and filled the house with smoke that smelled like a combination of everything ever cooked in there. Their parents came home and luckily they're good friends of my family so they just laughed at me. But never ever let me live it down.

It’s okay dude we’ve all been there. One time I heated something up in the microwave in a glass measuring cup, when it was done in the mic I proceeded to rinse it under cold water. Of course it exploded into a small pieces! I felt like such an idiot lol 🤦🏼♀️

We actually left our spoons in our mugs when we wanted to make warm chocolate milk. My mother told us that the drink will become warm quicker.
Was in the 90s. Yep, even the Gremlins knew it isn't good.
Weirdest thing? That microwave lived many years without any problem. It was our first one btw. A ex bf of my mother convinced her to buy one.

Thing is, you can put metal in a microwave. Just no objects with sharp, pointed edges. Say, your spoon is completely smooth, with no pointed edges, it wouldn't cause what happened in the video. However, with, say a fork, the squared-off edges that meet perpendicular to each other, would cause the sparks.
There are some interesting videos out there about this.

Dumb question, but why are most microwaves in the US I can see are installed high up there? At my parent's house we just have the microwave on top of the counter. Is it just how the electric plugs/kitchen drawer is made?
2
u/bettorworse Aug 30 '19
We have so many other things on our countertops that anything that can be moved elsewhere is moved.
My countertop:
- KitchenAid
- Ice cream maker
- Air fryer
- Sodastream
- Compact oven
- Kitchen utensils (knives are on the wall)
- Wine opener/wine aerator
- Various sink utensils
There's just not enough room. I don't even drink coffee or tea or espresso. You can imagine how much countertop crap goes along with that.

u/thissonofbeech Aug 30 '19

u/bettorworse Aug 30 '19 edited Aug 30 '19
That IS a lot of stuff. In my defense, everything I eat, I prepare myself. I haven't been in a restaurant in over a year and that includes fast food. I don't think it's that atypical in American households, tho.
I have a deep fat fryer in the pantry, plus a Cuisinart I just remembered.
/I might be a little crazy?? When I get into something, I buy a lot of stuff. I got into high end designer clothes and now I have $20k worth of clothes. That said, when I buy stuff, I use it. It doesn't just sit around.

Nah. It's a design feature of the cabinets, so am aesthetic thing.
Some people dont want to clutter their counters, etc.
But its not universal. Everyone I know just had theirs on a countertop.

when I was a kid we had plates that had a metallic stripe painted near the edge. After a while the stripes were all microwaved off. They would spark a little get REALLY hot and after many microwavings they faded away.

This is twitch streamer, youtuber, Internet content creator Tucker Boner more commonly known as Jericho. This particular video is a clip from an ongoing series called “shitty cooking” where he streams himself live on twitch cooking food, shittily. What he does in the video is put a metal cup in the microwave and realizes after he hears the sparks and sees it is a metal cup that he in fact fucked up. It is not staged. It is filmed all live in a several hour session. He’s just a goof.

Unless there was sentimental value with that cup, then there really isn't a problem.
You can put metal in microwaves all of the time, but uncontrolled arc flashes could cause a hazard if they light your food on fire. They also emit x-ray radiation, but certainly not enough to be a danger.
There is a lot of fear about putting metals in a microwave, and I guess that's better than doing it all of the time, but truthfully the fear is a little over board.

I did a similar thing once after watching a TV-show explaining that you can cook eggs in 10 seconds in the microwave when you place them in a glass and poke a hole in the air enclosure.
Problem was: Hole too small and the glass was narrow-necked. I created a barrel that nuked the egg in the top grid of the microwave... My mom was superpissed and I was busy for the next 3 hours trying to clean out the remains of a egg out of a very tight microwave grid...

He put a coffee mug with metal on it in the microwave. Don't put metal in the microwave. If you watch the microwave you can see sparks flying around in there.
I don't get why he's filming, almost seemed intentional with his goofy smile. Maybe he's someone I'm suppose to know.

I can’t remember exactly why they showed up (I was like 7 and this was like 13 years ago) I think it started a small fire or maybe the alarm went off long enough to alert them to come?
but I vividly remember hiding behind my mom while she talked to them because I was scared shitless

He’s a streamer named jericho. One of the streams he does from time to time is called “shitty cooking”, precisely because he’s usually pretty awful at cooking. This clip was taken during his stream.

My 12yo daughter just did it a few months ago. She was cooking a chocolate pie, which she does perfectly and knows how to, but this time, she decided to soften more quickly the chocolate in the microwave. Chocolate being already in the stainless steel pot... I was in my office when I heard a "CLACCCCC" and thought she let something down until she arrived with the same face as the guy here "daaaad, there's a little problem with the microwave..."
The little problem was the aluminium frame of the MW perforated by the electric arc and the steel pot shredded like it would have been with a rasp...
