I have purchased a new microwave which has an easier to grab control. I'm

concerned one of my pet parrots will switch it on! (Seriously, they do
stuff like that)


Parrots. Cool :-)


13 of them. Messy. Noisy. But fun.

Leave a cup of water in it. Or something like those heat up aromatherapy
bags, the ones that have lots of little cherry stones in it.


That would only delay the problem. And I'd never remember to put a glass of water in after each time I use it.

I want to know what happens if it is switched on empty. The instructions just say it will damage it. That doesn't bother me too much, it was a very cheap one. As long as it doesn't explode or catch fire when I'm out of the house.
