I dun eat anything without a slit in it.

I just leave the knife in it to keep it from blowing up and making a mess.

Actually, metal in the microwave isn't necessarily damaging in many cases. The magnetron that creates the microwave rays can't really be hurt by it. The problem is when the metal gets in just the right position, it has the possibility of acting like an antenna which focuses the microwave rays and can arc and possibly ignite something else. It just depends on how much the microwaves are dispersed around in the cage, and what type of materials happen to be in the sweet spot, and whether they're moving around. But there are many ways you can safely have metal in a microwave. Some foods actually have a small bit of metal in the packaging and sometimes that is actually intended to focus the microwaves just a little bit.

I wasn't serious. I know how it works more than you know. I have only had about 3 hours sleep the in the last 24 hours.

Doesnt matter, just make sure to add a bit of water or milk (depending on what it is) and a bit of butter.

It can really help make crap even more craptacular.

Now I'm curious about the proportion of knife users who wash the knife versus just putting it back. That might not rise to the level of a whole new poll, though.

A quick rinse and wipe on the kitchen towel does the trick for me, keeps me as healthy and strong as a russian caveman.

[bevischief]

Why wash it? The germs make you strong.

I do know, that microwaving Campbell's soups results in miniature nuclear explosions.

no idea why.

*edit*... at the 4th option.

My eyes have never been the same since the microwave oven was invented.

Rain Man, & about 46 people who voted and me with my own poke holes with a fork in it option. That's who gives a shit.

I would never ever mock a Rain Man poll. Eva

I appreciate your ongoing support. This is an important issue, because the time cost of finding a knife for 50 million people per day times 5 days per week times 365 days per year at 10 seconds per knife is about 4.9 million lost hours of productivity per year. And if every one of those knives costs 1 cent to wash, we're talking about $130 million in avoidable costs. If you want to know why we're losing ground on the Chinese, look no further than our frivolous uses of knives in venting microwave dinners.

I'll bet your microwave looks like a discarded petri dish from the CDC.
