Default metal in the microwave (was " cleaning NOS cutting torch tips")


I'm from the caveman days.... *metal* in the microwave??????
Ken.


I do not understand this. I've always heard if you put metal in the microwave
that it would cause a spark. However, for years I have put small pieces of metal
FULLY IMMERSED IN A CLEANING SOLUTION in the microwave, and nothing bad has ever
happened. I think the resistivity of the liquid covering it may be enough to
limit the current which would otherwise flow in the metal.
