Don't put peanut butter in the microwave! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. heatherfeather80 (825)   ranked 1 out of 727 in been an idiot1 year ago

Ok, here we go again, yet another story that portrays my high level of intelligence. Well I decided I wanted to make a peanut butter and honey sandwich today and I was looking for the jar of peanut butter and it ended up to be in the fridge, I normally don't store it in there, actually, lots of things end up in my fridge unintentionaly like the remote control to the TV, but that's another story. So since this plastic jar of peanut butter had been in the fridge it was too cold and too hard to wipe accross the bread without tearing it so I decided to microwave it to soften it up. I didn't realize that the protective seal was made of some metal substance such as aluminum and so I pressed start on the cooker and walked away, then I saw sparks flying and the microwave was making snapping noises from the inside, IT WAS ON FIRE! I didn't know what to do so I ran outside, then I ran back in an unplugged it, don't ask me why I ran outside (please....lol) So now my microwave has a black hole in it the size of a golf ball on the inside. I can't wait to tell hubby when he gets home! (I still want a sandwich)

Wow you are an idiot, and deserve to be queen hehehehe:D So why did you run outside? lol. Damn that really sucks. Can you still use the microwave?


myLot reputation of 91/100. heatherfeather80 (825)   ranked 1 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

I'm affraid that if I use the microwave in its present state, it might omit mass particles of radiation therefore transforming my entire family into something like "the hills have eyes" people. Oh, and I don't wanna grow a tail either.


myLot reputation of 62/100. darkjedi (4381)   ranked 174 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

OR it could give you superpowers. Now how cool would that be? Thoguh still might end up with a tail hehehe.

hahahaha... I'm sorry for laughing but the part about you running outside just cracked me up because I could see myself doing the something.. running out of the house. lol

I have done that before, well, almost... it didn't catch on fire because i didn't walk away from the microwave but It started sparking and making popping sounds.
I was like "oh crap!" and opened the door real fast whistle lol

I have also done it before just to see that happen. I saw this thing about sticking a CD in the microwave... and well, me being me, i just had to try it lol it was kind of cool though! happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. heatherfeather80 (825)   ranked 1 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

ooooooooh, well since my microwave is already burnt to hell, maybe I will try the cd thing....lol thanks sameroad!

LOL! I have done this. rasp I always melt my peanut butter, because I like to pour it over ice cream. But, the first time I did it, although I did remove the seal, there were still bits of it left on the top that I could not get off.

So, stupid me thinks they are so small that they will not make a difference in the microwave.

Wrong! doh

I did learn my lesson, though, and now I always take a knife and scrape every last bit of that aluminum stuff off before nuking it.


myLot reputation of 91/100. heatherfeather80 (825)   ranked 1 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

lol This makes me feel better, thanks Faith!


myLot reputation of 86/100. itsmefaith (2236)   ranked 2 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

I'm so glad I could make you feel better but displaying my idiocy! winkthumbup

Well if you hold on a sec..I can get you a sandwich thats been fixed in a different way..its real simple and you can find it near my remote...Now you ran outside cause you thought it would explode right?..just be glad you didn't take the microwave with you..cause you are still the Queen!!!!rasp


myLot reputation of 91/100. heatherfeather80 (825)   ranked 1 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

Thanks kitty, I think I'll take you up on that sandwich now. Yea I guess I thought it could explode and I really don't care if my house burns down at this point because now our mortgage payment has reached 2,200 this month so if it burns down the insurance can pay it off..lol Wait, maybe I'll microwave something else today!

Oh My you did do a good job on the microwave.
I did not realise you were going to say you killed it.
I had visions of you cleaning sticky peanut butter out of your microwave.
do you think hubby willbe mad at you when he comes home. LOL


myLot reputation of 91/100. heatherfeather80 (825)   ranked 1 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

LOL, I did tell hubby and he just laughed, I thought he might be mad because it is fairly new, it's the kind that goes above the oven, I had to unplug it from inside of a cabinet!

Holy...

blink

Unbelievable. At least you learned a valuable lesson, that i'm glad of. Don't put ANYTHING metal in there. It'll just kill your microwave in the end.

But it can't be helped. There's no way you could've known it was a big appliance accident, so don't be too hard on yourself. You can always buy another one if it gets destroyed by your incident.


myLot reputation of 91/100. heatherfeather80 (825)   ranked 1 out of 727 in been an idiot  1 year ago

Yes I did learn a lesson...lol
