Is it OK to put large quantities of SPAM in a microwave?

Is it OK to put large quantities of SPAM in a microwave?

A microwave with a USB port would be great. Then you could feed the
SPAM in directly.

Yes, but be sure to cover with several layers of paper towels because
the fat really flies!

Good one.

On the subject of microwaves, I recently learned what you *cannot* do in
them.
I was home alone and decided to raid the refrigerator. I found a big tub of
pre-mixed chocolate chip cookie dough and decided a little snack would be
nice. I didn't want to get involved with firing up the oven and finding
cookie sheets, etc., so I put three tablespoonful globs of the stuff on a
dish and stuck it in the microwave. I did a quick mental calculation ....
meaning I did a wild-assed guess ... and programmed five minutes at 80
percent power. Pushed the start button and went off into another room to do
something.

After about three minutes my dog (Sam Adams) caught my attention by barking
his head off in the kitchen.
I came over to see what his problem was and there was smoke pouring out of
the microwave rapidly filling the room. The stupid cookies had caught fire.
Then the alarm system went off which automatically caused the fire and
police department to call to see if our house was on fire.

Lesson learned.

Ah. I see. The _cookies_ were stupid.

Ayah. I may have run across a few of those myself!

seconds

No offense intended; I personally have lots more outrageous examples of
stupid stuff than your cookies!

Will you have instructions for removing the door, bypassing the door
switch, and using it to zap bugs as they fly through the air?

black

What do you think the plastic spatter shields are for? Also, they
are great for reheating pizza without drying it out.

Forget bugs! How about a couple hundred stacked like a video wall,
and use it at a political debate to really turn the heat on the
candidates? ;-)

You can reheat a pizza in a microwave and have it dry out? I've never
nuked any piece of pizza that didn't come out soggy.

Amateur! I can make it look and feel just like I walked in the door
with it in the box.

Why would anyone want to reheat pizza? Cold pizza is excellent.

Do it on cardboard and then give it a couple of minutes in an oven.

Molten cheese.
