Pelendra asked:


I’m a college student and I don’t have much to work with, kitchen-wise. I was wondering: if I were to microwave an egg for breakfast, would it be safe for consumption?

I’m working on a fictional piece and this somehow ended up in it. I didn’t actually want to try this myself to find out but I’m sure someone has to have tried it. Would the primer explode and possibly ruin the microwave? How long would it take for the primer to explode if it did? If anyone knows of any news story or personal encounter with a microwaved bullet, please let me know. Thank you!
By the way, for gun aficionados, I actually mean the cartridge and/or round, not the bullet. I understand the bullet is a part of the actual cartridge =)
Wait so this has actually happened before??

asked:


I am making hot chocolate (the hot chocolate that comes in the packets) and I like using hot milk instead of hot water because it makes it richer. My microwave is broken so how do I make milk hot without a microwave? And if it is on a stove or something like that, what do I use and how long and what temperature. Answer quick. Thanks!

My daughter put a bag of popcorn in microwave. The corn didn’t pop, just the grease in the bag started burning. The bag almost caught on fire. Any ideas how to get that bad burnt popcorn smell out of our microwave?

There are several cake recipes that I want to try. But they all mention the regular oven conditions. While I would like to bake them in a microwave oven…How different is that?

Angela asked:


I’m making a package of steamed broccoli/rotini pasta/cheese sauce and the package directions states three different cooking suggestions based on microwave wattage.

The only time I recall seeing the wattage of any microwave noted is on the box it comes in from the store, or on the manual it comes with. Is it written anywhere on the microwave? Behind it? Under it? Inside it?

zackyvengeance121181 asked:


The microwave itself doesn’t stink it seems to be whenever I microwave something that it starts to smell now. I can’t seem to get rid of it. I’ve tried microwaving something strong smelling, vinegar, lemon juice everything I could find nothing has worked.

Margarita asked:


Maybe people do this all the time, I just usually boil water on the stove in a pot and cook it the old fashioned way. The problem is, we got a new cooktop and so my husband took out the old one and it was hauled away with last week’s trash, but he still hasn’t hooked up the new one. We’ve been eating a lot of sandwiches and also at my mom’s, but my son loves pasta with tomato sauce and I can’t make it for him. I don’t have one of those newfangled pasta makers for the microwave, but I do have a rice cooker, will that work? Any suggestions?
