Talk about not paying close attention. I was heating some sausage in our

smallest microwave and unlike some folks I know, I will adjust the power

level to keep something from splattering all over the inside of the

microwave oven. I set the control for 7 minutes at 40% power, or so I

thought. I was concentrating on some Email when I heard an odd noise

from the kitchen. The microwave was full of smoke and the sausage burned

to a crisp. It turns out that I had inadvertently hit an extra zero when

setting the time and it was 70 minutes instead of 7 minutes. Because I

had set the power level to 40%, there was no back draft and flames when

I opened the frigging oven but there was a lot of smoke. I can still

smell Polish Kielbasa throughout the house after 3 days from the time of

blastoff. The lesson I learned was to pay better attention to those

mundane tasks I take on every day. o_O

My wife did that to warm up a biscuit, charcoaled it and left a coat of smoke inside. No cleaner I tried would even touch it. Turntable plate cracked in half. I finally replaced it and free-cycled the smoked up one at the curb. Someone took it.
