[TheForge] stainless steel in microwave

[roger olsen]

I put a pyrex coffee cauldron maker thingy from a mr. coffee type coffee 
maker in the micro wave to heat it back up.  after wards I noticed there 
were some stainless steel fitings around the lid hinge and nothing bad 
seemed to happen.  made me wonder if stainless steel is OK in the micro wave 
and since my dog Ben's food dish is stainless steel and I wanted to heat him 
up some cold leftovers from the fridge I just did it.  It seemed to work 
with no problems but I thought I would google around and see if I could find 
out how thin the ice is.

here is a fun site I found,   don't blame me if you should apt to try 
something for the fun of it and end up making those you live with really 
mad.
