I have had my share of melted plastic, blown up food, and food cooked excessively due to an extra "0" or two being added to the microwave timer. I had one baked potato cooked in the microwave for an exceedingly excessive amount of time - that was like a stone when I finally realized what was happening and stopped it from continueing to be "cooked". I expect I could put it outside and 2,000 years from now they would find it - still intact and rock hard - and wonder at what religion must have existed that mummified potatoes!kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-72176221751852724262010-03-26T17:53:54.349-07:002010-03-26T17:53:54.349-07:00DaBeardedOne, I've blown up a few things in th...DaBeardedOne, I've blown up a few things in the oven, mainly beans or an occasional potato (even a poked one), but a 4 pound squash....man, that would be one big mess! By the way, you'd better make up another garden bed, and start liking tomatoes and peppers.

My daughter will get the unopened packages, she actually likes it. I buy the steam-fresh veggies, they already have their packages vented, and they taste good!<br /><br />********<br />MommyAmy, yes...I like the success rice, and it's no fail!<br /><br />********<br />Oh, no, Kelli! What a mess that must have been. I melted an "ovenproof" TV dinner container in my gas oven once, I had it too close to the side of the oven, where it gets really hot. That stunk to high heavens!<br /><br />My washer died about an hour ago :-( Made a horrid noise and now the tub is loose and won't spin.<br /><br />********<br />LOL, Ribbit! I don't think I could lift Annie that high!<br /><br />********<br />Lee Oliphant, I doubt you'll have to wait too long. You must have missed the post where I burned up the label on my new frying pan. That was rather messy, too. Who knew they put big paper labels on the outside bottoms of the pans? That's just not right.<br /><br />********<br />Momma_S, Mr. H uses margarine, and it pops all over the inside of the microwave. I just hate when he decides he wants popcorn, with lots of melted margarine.<br /><br />********<br />Kiwi Gomes, Oh, no....I guess we should always read the fine print! You have a great weekend too.
