There are a lot of things you’re not supposed to microwave. Tinfoil, CDs, bowls with metal filigree, you name it… if it’s metal, don’t put it in the microwave! That said, there are a lot of unusual things that should be microwave safe that aren’t. For example, the most shocking thing I saw on Buzzfeed’s list of 16 things you should never microwave was a harmless, innocent piece of fruit. Allow someone else to demonstrate:
That’s right, apparently if you nuke grapes in a glass, you end up with plasma-like bursts of energy! Who knew!? Not me, that’s for sure. You’d think that something like a grape would be totally harmless and safe to nuke, but I guess not. There’s no telling why it had such an electric response, but I’m just glad I found this out before I decided to thaw grapes in the microwave or something else equally dangerous.
