[net.cooks] Microwave Caution

hjv (12/20/82)

last Saturday I had a partially used candle for a warming tray that I 
wanted to remove.  I figured that the microwave would soften the wax
up so it could be removed easily.  I put the oven on it's lowest 
setting and in 1 second the chared wick spit, sputtered and caught fire
I'm not going to do this again but if anyone else wants to try it 
clip the wick off first.
