Today, I had to explain very slowly to my mum why she cannot put metal cutlery in the microwave. She did it anyway. FML

That's her mistake. She is probably one of those people that puts evertything in the microwave. "oh, I see a laptop, let's microwave that!"

Or you can put sticky notes all over the microwave of things that "should not enter". We have to help old people :)

Fortunately for you, the U.K. has free appliance repair for life.

I just don't understand why someone would keep metal cutlery in the microwave instead of taking it out. It can't be laziness since it only takes a second to take it out of the bowl or cup. Who wants to have to deal with a spoon that's so hot it can cause 2nd degree burns?

as long as it's not really pointed like a fork it should be ok so spoons are all right..

You know, I used to be one of those people. Then I discovered YouTube, and "is it a good idea to microwave this?" started on that site. Damn, that was a good show.

If you actually knew why, then you'd know that it's fine as long as the utensils aren't close to the walls. The energy required to arc is inversely proportional to the distance between conducting objects.

True, though if it's a fork, or has raised patterning, it can arc off various points on the utensil.

Actually, it's directly, not inversely, proportional. It takes less energy to arc the closer the conductors are.

Touche, Jack. My old physics teacher would have been most disappointed in that error.

I need to try that!!!
And OP, maybe your mom just doesnt like being told what to do.
I put alunuim (sp) foil in the microwave cause it said not too. Sometimes you just have to rebel!
