I tried to nuke some hot dogs for a quick lunch because it was new comic book day which eats up the bulk of my time off. While I came back to the microwave to get the meat ready for the buns and mustard, I thought the internal light had a short since there was a flash. Nope. It was this “microwave safe” dish popping on fire briefly. The smell was almost as bad as fish or burnt popcorn. I also decided not to chance eating the “cooked” hot dogs.
Avoided a repeat of what happened 20 years ago when I stupidly tried to reheat some leftover french fries while they were in the styrofoam container. It took a couple weeks to be rid of the horrible smell.
