Melted Gloves

Now here's a jolly wheeze and a warning for all you cooks !!

Today I got well and truly drenched on the commute to work, driving rain went everywhere.

So I get into the office and look for a heater to dry out the soggy excuse for my gloves, but non are turned on cos it's summer !

So muggins see's the underused, old microwave with a rotating thingummy to put your 'food' on standing in the corner of the kitchen, ah, I think, lets just try one glove in there for a short time and lets see what happens.

So in goes the left glove, on goes the microwave at 1 minute, defrost.

Yup, that works, glove seems warm and the wet is steaming off.

So in goes the rigth glove, try 2 minutes this time, yup, same again, no probs, seems a bit dryer and not particularly hot.

So back goes the left glove, lets try 4 mins this time, once again, no probs and it definately is a lot dryer.

So, time for the right glove, same deal, 4 mins, defrost, then the phone goes.

Off I trot to my office, blether for a while and forget whats cooking.

Next thing is the secretary from the office downstairs comes running up looking for a fire cos there's 'an awful smell' which we could also get by now.

Dumbnuts here sitting not even connecting it, says that smells like someone marking the road outside, but no, its inside.

OH FUCK !!!!

So I run into the kitchen (so nobody can see me) open the microwave and there before my very eyes is my cremated glove !! The soddin thing had caught on the side wall, which was metal, and got fried !

Of course it didn't happen all the time I was watching, but as soon as my back was turned....................

Just as well I didn't try it with my helmet !! :eek:

Excuse me! it wasn't 'a man' that burnt my kitchen down a few years back cos someone was watching Dallas and forgot about the toast.

It wasn't 'a man' that ruined a Maurice Lacroix watch by drying it in the microwave.

It wasn't 'a man' that ruined their mothers oven by drying tennis balls out in it (actually it was, it was my brother I just turned the heat up to help him to dry them quicker) but I was only 10. :rolleyes: :}

An accident - not a deliberate act

Female ingenuity which went inadvertantly wrong - no doubt that the microwave was faulty

I rest my case!!
