Microwave mishap

What happens if you put a mug with a teabag in it, in the microwave and turn it on - having forgotten to add the water to it? :facepalm:

You burn your fingers when you grab the mug before you realise there is a problem.

The opened microwave door starts the teabag smoking and then it smells out the house.

The teabag continues to smoke and then catches fire...

Luckily we had taken it outside at this point and thoroughly doused it in water on the concrete, away from anything else burnable.

A bit of a worry isn't it???

Here is the inside of the mug with a burnt patch I am sure will scrub out...

I certainly hope so as it is one of my favourite mugs (both being Gary Larsen cartoons)!

:rolfl: :rolfl: :rolfl: love the mugs Caryl!

I burned bread in a microwave once. I had put it in with the intention of making it just a little hard to add to turkey dressing. Put it in too long, burnt the bread and permanently stained the interior (white) of the microwave :bggrn:

Caper :P
