Title: my microwave door has a crack in it
Post by: steve dave on September 20, 2013, 07:52:14 AM
it's on the non-glass part from one corner all the way to the glass. it just appeared there out of nowhere. very mysterious. am I exposing myself to dangerous microwave nuke rays by continuing to use it? it's built into the wall so me taking it out and putting a new one in is 100% impossible. should I just buy a new house? t-y.

I have no idea, but did you know that the invention of the microwave (http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2011/08/the-microwave-oven-was-invented-by-accident-by-a-man-who-was-orphaned-and-never-finished-grammar-school/) was an accident?

after 9/11, they said to cover windows and things with duct tape.  so i think if you duct tape the crack, you're a-ok, stevedave.

There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

A slight fear would be that you are slowly cooking you and your family every time you use it. Sort of like those stories they used to tell when tanning beds came out about ladies that tanned all the time and died and they did autopsies and their organs were cooked to medium well.

But that's just pure speculation.

it takes, like, a whole minute to melt cheese on a baked potato. maybe I'll put cheese on my hand and hold it next to the microwave and see how long it takes to melt.

That seems like a good test. If your microwave works that well without having to open the door, that seems like it would be really convenient. :dunno:

Innovative idea. There is an invention there somewhere.

I just had a dude put in a new wall microwave.  It wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be.  Hit Sears or NFM on the way home from work today, SD.  They will probably have it installed within the week.

...also, the wall oven and wall microwave that I had replaced are almost definitely being used in a Mexican family's home right now.  Not in Mexico, like probably across town.  Dude asked me if I still wanted them and I said nope, and he was delighted.

I have some friends who don't own a microwave. They love bringing it up in conversation, because it shows how far above society they are. Completely unhurried or whatever. These are also my "acutally, we don't own a TV" friends.

I noticed that the website for that microwave inventing guy article I linked is pretty cool.

For example, did you know the Nintendo company started in 1889?  :surprised:

Totally.


Ok back on subject. Have you considered maybe these so called "micro-waves" leaking out into the air might give you super power? Seems like the beginning of a super hero movie honestly.

SD, when melting cheese on potatoes, have you noticed that it takes longer to melt cheese?  Like, 65 or 70 seconds instead of 60?  If not, I am on #TeamNoBigDeal.  I mean, if your microwave was a bucket and it had a crack but still held water, you would still use that bucket, right?

They probably love it even more for that reason.  Challenge accepted, and stuff.

I've got to admit, warming up pizza in the oven (pizza hut box instructions) is much better than the microwave (don't like cold pizza).

in all seriousness, no you should not use it if at all possible.

We had to replace ours last fall.    Most stores stock low end models, but if you want a nicer model most are special order.   We got a very nice convection model which has been great.

Just don't stand in front of it(unless you are timing your cheese melt time to see how much radiation your completely dangerous crack is letting out).   :dunno:

Dementia is a known side effect of exposure to microwave rays.  Just a matter of time before steve dave is #TeamSDS.com followed by Mrs. steve dave cracking jokes on twitter about steve dave's disappearance two weeks earlier.  T's & P's steve dave.

You should get one of those lead vests that hospitals use for X-Rays and just hang it in front of your microwave. As long as you stay on the other side of the vest while cooking, you should be fine.
