Things/Food you should NOT put in microwave!

KaBOoom!!

1. Grapes

Yes, grapes, to be exact, a half cut grape with a piece of skin in between. 
The two halves of the grape acting as electrode. Microwaving them will cause the grapes to ignite and produce sparks.   Watch it to believe it! and see the explanation here. I never knew a humble grape can cause such a disaster. (O_O)

2. Carrots

Carrots are rich in minerals i.e. iron, magnesium and selenium. These compounds will reflect the electromagnetic wave. The metal reflect the wave and therefore carrot sparks when you microwave them.


3. Raw egg
Boom boom PoWW!! I'm sure you know they'll explode in microwave.


4. Soap
It'll become like beaten egg whites after microwaving. There are water vapours in the tiny air bubbles in a bar of soap, microwave heats them up and thus it foams and expands. 

5. CDs
If you love Tron, you're going to love this!

There are actually many other things that shouldn't pun in microwave. These are some that i found fascinating! If you want to do try these at home, I think the soap and CD are still ok to be microwave. The rest will cause a mess or damage your microwave. :)

**Do it at your own risk ya!
