I've never heard of a microwave oven catching fire or exploding simply
because the food in it dried out when someone set the timer wrong.


I have.
I had to remove the lady responsible from the flat as it had smoke pouring
from the windows.
It was a cake of some sort that she had put on 20 minutes and then forgotten
she had put it in.
I don't know where the fire started but at least the building survived if
not the microwave.
