How about a battery? Is it a good idea to microwave a battery? Or maybe a can of spray paint? Or how about a car airbag? Is it a good idea to microwave a car airbag? A Nerf gun? Ping pong balls?

It’s an absolutely great idea for YOU to do it. Me, I don’t think I’m up to that level of cooking yet. :-)

I’d just assume have one of my slaves do it if I were you.

Well, microwaving a light bulb certainly doesn’t seem like “an idea whose time has come.” But even so, I would say no, to all of the above. And could you even fit a car airbag into your microwave? Mine wouldn’t be big enough.

Of course. It’s always safe! Try microwaving your underwear too! It’s fabulous.

Jory and Riley say it’s a great idea (of course, they’ve blown up a few dozen microwaves so far :-p

@KateTheGreat – Can I microwave your underwear? :-p

HungryGuy (16039

@HungryGuy Implying I wear underwear.

I will advise you though, from personal experience, not to microwave Irish Spring soap. It accomplishes nothing and you will never get the smell out of the thing.

@HungryGuy Would you like to provide us with some context? So we know what the hell you are talking about and why you’re considering blowing up your face? Lol.

@KateTheGreat – Prove it… :-p

HungryGuy (16039

I think not.

Both will probably explode. That means shrapnel, and in the case of the battery, acid.
Make sure to put your face really close to the microwave.

I’d rather “heat up” an inflatable sex doll instead. I’d get a bigger bang that way. Lol. ;)

@MRSHINYSHOES – Inflatable sex dolls are passe. I’d rather combine a RealDoll with HRP-4C.

You could microwave any of those. However, you’ll get much better flavor by lightly coating with a little olive oil, rub with some cracked pepper and a bit of garlic, and grill for 6–8 minutes a side. delizioso
