[TheForge] Smelting metal in your microwave oven

[Bruce Freeman]

Gaaaa!!!

Why can't people get the difference between "melting" (what he did)
and "smelting" (reducing metal from its ore)?!  Pardon me for being
annoyed at this, but there's so much of the ignorant stuff "going
around" these days...

Not to mention he got about 3 fluid oz. of molten tin out of the thing
-- before it caught fire.  He could have done that as quick with a
propane torch!  But I guess he doesn't consider that techy enough.
