Heard about putting them in for 30 after soaking them in water. I would do it with an unneeded fig but I don't have a microwave.

Make sure you try it with a metal one!

And video it.

**Sageheart**

yeah never tried it, assumed plastic would melt..

It´s like making froozen butter ready to use using a microwave.
It can work but most of the time your wife will mutate into a meatgrinder and you´re the meat.

# just tried the butter thingy, not the mini thing but I imagine it´s pretty similar from the outcome.

I just can't see that turning out good?

i can see it having the same effect as throwing the mini in boiling water, so it'd probably kill your mini. but with metal it might perhaps work.

You are really trying to get someone to stick metal in a microwave aren't you!

Obvious troll is obvious. We had this exact thread some months ago.

Suck less at the internet. kthx

Even though i know this is a troll and would never work.... there's still a small want to try it in the back of my head and a part that rationalises why I should

Oh well then, by all means. I've put just about everything you can think of in old microwaves for fun. I just didn't want to see a dakka member make it onto the Darwin awards unknowingly. Purposefully doing stupid things I can support.
