Stick the fork to an outlet instead
The best thing would be aluminum foil, since steel can’t reach the required charge
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.
I microwave my coffee every morning with a teaspoon in it at work and nothing happens.
It’s actually the recommended way to heat up liquids in a microwave, especially higher viscosity liquids that don’t mix quickly like a sauce. Since the spoon can transfer heat to the center faster than the liquid can by itself. The waves can’t penetrate far into the liquid and can’t heat up the core of a volume of liquid unless it’s spread out. Just make sure the spoon doesn’t touch the sides when it rotates.
I believe any smooth piece of metal without any gaps or sharp edges (so no forks or foil) is fine in a microwave.
My microwave has a sticker so you don’t heat liquids without a teaspoon. I’ve heated milk in it every day for years, every time with a teaspoon in it. It also heats up faster with it.
The answer to your curiosity. Or at least a laugh about it
Thin metal arcs in a microwave; I’ve seen a fork arc from the tines, never seen any other cutlery do it. The arcing is the air turning to plasma, so if it was buried in food with no access to air, it wouldn’t arc
I don’t get it
Microwave + metal = FWOOSH
Ohhh I though that the boss said “you can’t go home early but that’s okay because we’ll all soon go home”
I think the joke is that they’ll all go home when there’s a fire in the kitchen.
a bag of popcorn set to 30 minutes instead of 3 might be all it takes and is an ‘innocent’ mistake anyone could make.

RTO? How about RT-NO.
It’s really not as dangerous as you’d think. I don’t recommend it, but it’ll be fine.
Here’s a video of you’re interested: https://youtu.be/yBnZzg82Pvg
I’ll watch yours if you watch mine haha
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?
Probably a hamster
If you do that, don’t let Weird Ed find out.
A can of Axe
You are an employee of the month
Random Axe of kindness
IIRC: An airbag.

Should’ve added grapes
Big can of beans in the fryer will do the trick.
Well, somebody watched a lot of Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? growing up.
Holy shit I haven’t thought of Jory Caron Laboratories for forever. Nobody likes roasted nuts.
