Does anyone know?

Does anyone know what happens if you stick a Pie with a tinfoil tray under it into a microwave?

[Postdog]

yes, lots of sparks inside

[tiggerblue10]

Sparks may fly.

Says he who once tried to dry out a damp watch in a microwave....

You arc the microwaves to the tray, and destroy your microwave with attendant cost, (purchase new microwave!!!)

[redman41]

Yes, but try it yourself so that you can see what happens

[tamborine]

you wont be able to type & tell us, coz your fingers will explode.

Turn pie onto plate & heat, dafty !

A friend I was staying with once told me how to make a boiled egg in a microwave. The method broke two golden rules of microwave cooking - you can`t boil eggs and you can`t put tin foil in a microwave oven. I used to boil my egg every morning by wrapping it in tin foil and putting it into a mug of water. I put it in the microwave oven for a few minutes and the result was a perfect boiled egg and no damage to the oven.

As is the case with all metallic items, aluminium foil reacts to being microwaved. This is due to the effect of electric fields of the microwaves causing a build up of charge to form between the sharp points in the aluminium; if enough charge accumulates it will discharge to a different place on the foil, creating a spark (i.e., arcing). The design of modern microwave ovens has been corrected so microwave energy cannot be reflected back into the magnetron, and aluminium packages designed for microwave heating are available.

tamborine, I would have chosen the more technical answer but yours was funny! I already knew what happens when you stick foil into a microwave. I just wanted to see what ingenious answers you lot could up with!?

Bummer :-(

I'm afraid, I am just a hopeless winder upper!

As explained earlier.
