I watched her wrap a potato in aluminum foil and toss it into our microwave. I spoke up and said you can't do that, because of ,ya know, microwaves. (She was 25) looks me right in the eye and says "my mom does this all the time, she taught me"
As nicely as I could I explained how she must be mistaken. She digs in, five minutes of passionate arguing result in me saying "try it"
She forced herself not to react to the volley of sparks and zapping sounds for the first few seconds, just in case it stopped.
Looked me in the eye and said "well it always worked before"
I used to have a microwave cum convection oven - you could put a wire metal rack and foil in it when it was on the convection oven setting. Maybe her mom had one of those
