somehow nothing happened before I realized my mistake and opened the door after about 15 seconds. shocked. lame story i know, but it's 4:33 AM and I feel like posting.
so discuss some microwave mishaps/general kitchen accidents. it will be hilarious. like that time you spilled a pot of boiling water all over your face, or rubbed your eyes after cutting up an habanero chili.
i remember preheating the oven once to make a pizza, forgetting that my parents put food items for "storage" sometimes (like left over pizza that you forget about). yeah, the stove is a bad storage area. kitchen smelled like burnt pizza box for a while

I've left a fork in there for a while too, it was only for a few seconds as well but yeah, something so easy to overlook can end so badly.

I've left forks in quite a few times and nothing ever happened. In fact, one day my family and I were talking about it and we figured at the very least a dozen were left in our old Montgomery Ward microwave that we used daily for 20 plus years.
One time, though, I tried to microwave a jello pack as a kid (I wanted to try to make one of those homemade lava lamps after seeing them on TV but didn't have the right stuff.) Anyway, there was a bit of foil on the edges and the jello caught fire in the middle.

when I was little I put 3 eggs in the microwave for half an hour and left the room. After a while I heard a huge bang and when I got to the kitchen, the eggs had exploded and blew a chunk out of the inside of the microwave. I got in a lot of trouble for that one.
Then there was the time I was cooking on the stove and I put the hot frying pan on the counter when I was done. After I finished eating I went to clean up my mess and the frying pan was melted to the counter.

I put a Royal Dalton plate in the microwave the once which must have had some metallic stuff in the paint or something as sparks flew everywhere after about 5 seconds
I've tried cooking boiled eggs in the microwave too which was very messy
I've blown my nose on a tissue I'd used to wipe away hot sauce which wasn't pleasant

The one thing in the kitchen that became a disaster of my doing was simply when I tried to open a bag of cereal with more force than anyone should ever use to do so. The floor became littered and everywhere was scattered with Frosted Cheerios.

Back when we were kids, my brother cooked a pizza in the microwave. Wouldn't have been too bad, except that he put it in there on a metal pizza pan ...

The floor became littered and everywhere was scattered with Frosted Cheerios. I've done the same thing with a bag of Fritos. I was once making hard boiled eggs and forgot I had them on the stove. By the time I remembered, the kitchen had a foul cloud of stench in it. I just opened the kitchen window and threw the pot with the smoking eggs right into the back yard. I once boiled a stainless steel tea kettle completely dry. I came into the kitchen about an hour later and the bottom half of the kettle was glowing cherry red and it was starting to deform. I once tried to cook a hot dog in a microwave but instead of setting it for one minute, I set it for ten. About five minutes later, I came and checked on it and found a charred and smoking ember. |

My brother, when he was very young, microwaved a hot dog for an hour and a half. Surprisingly, the microwave wasn't damaged and no large fires started. The hot dog came out black, rock hard, and had shriveled to about 2 inches long. |

I once forgot to add water to a cup of Easy Mac. The end result... not pretty.

A couple of times I put in one of those microwave Chef Boyardee dinners without putting the cap on. End result - tomato sauce all over the walls of the microwave.
I've zapped a few pizza pockets and stupidly bit into them way too soon - only to have it explode on me and burning my mouth.

I once tried to cook something in the oven. After around 10 minutes, I notice some smoke coming out. When I open the oven, A hung chunk of black smoke came out and spread all over the house. Several minutes after it cleared out, We noticed that someone put a fork in the over while I was away. I still think my little brother did that.

One time my littlest sister microwaved one of those microwaveable chimichangas, you know, the ones you nuke for 1 minute and 15 seconds? She put it on for 10 freaking minutes. The thing was f***ing burnt black, and was smoking! We had to open up all the doors and windows in the house to ventilate the smoke out.

One time when I was out of cheese whiz. I thought I could put a bunch of cheese slices in the microwave an liquefy them. I ended up burning the cheese, melting the plate I had the slices on and turned the inside of the microwave black.

Anyone ever put a CD in the microwave? It's about 3 seconds of awesomeness.
