Smashed microwave glass plate

fullerand

Oopsy, managed to smash the glass turntable plate in the microwave this morning.

Does anybody know if there are standard replacement plates you can buy that work with any microwave? It's an LG (bought ~ 2 years ago in Power City so warranty's dead) - the support hotline is open Mon-Fri but need to use it this weekend!

thanks

The very first place you should try is After Hours.

Use your time machine to go back in time and prevent yourself from breaking the glass plate..

So obvious like...

fullerand

Aha, I see. My bad, would've been better in Home & Garden I guess. Move at will!

Terry

There isn't a catergory under home and garden which would be suitable for this.

I'm off to request a household forum.

I 2nd that motion.

Microwaves and Time Machines forum it is.

Has anyone got DeV or Regi's phone number?

I wasn't joking.

Hell no, power diluted is no power at all.
Imagine the possibilities as I cajole lonely housewives enquiring about a problem with their appliances...

the microwave bit was my suggestion, the time machine yours, it's a good mix, lets work togther, get it togther biatch.

show your support to the Microwave and Time Machine forum.

Mr. Presentable

Microwave plates are different from maker to maker. I think you can get a microwave for about €40.00 in Tesco (someone will correct me if I'm wrong).

For the moment, can't you just use a microwave safe plate instead?

Fullerand,I broke mine 2years ago and have been using a clear pyrex plate since then,no problem.

How did you know I was intent on returning to Oct 2006, registering as Orange69 and then making a combo forum suggestion?

*The-Rigger is bundled into a black van with no plates*

Sorted.

How did you break it? It never leaves the microwave?

Thanks Lennox, might try that. Only downside is that it won't turn around during cooking. Dunno how important that is tho

No high larious story I'm afraid. GF was trying to clean it by microwaving a bowl of water for 10min. Unfortunately she accidentally turned it onto grill instead of microwave, and the think smashed after a few min. It wasn't properly vented, probably didn't help either

WTH?

Agreed - the first time I saw it. Apparently the steam that comes off it moistens any dirt inside it, makes it dead easy to wipe off afterwards.

Wertz

Ah right, like kind of steam cleaning it? True Pyrex glass shouldn't break at those sort of temps though, unless it was already cracked.
Personally I find some washing up detergent and a cloth, then a good rinse with cold water and sticking the micro on for 30 seconds does the trick...

I weighed that up and thought that somebody posting about it on After Hours on boards would not be doing such a think.

You are obviously not a student.

I remember back in the day in college we were asked to design a microwave. The key features of mine was 1000 W power output (really fast cooking), and an intergrated time machine (this was an optional extra). I kid you not. It was called the RADiTRON 5000. This new forum would be perfect for my invention...

What would happen if you broke the glass door of a microwave, would it start microwaving the whole room ?, if you stuck your hand in while it was turned on what would it feel like ?

I'm pretty sure it would turn you into the hulk.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it anyways if you had to use the microwave to cook it.

It's the metal grid/mesh that keeps the microwaves in the oven. remove that and they would still bounce into the room whether the glass was there or not.

Warm and getting warmer.

There was a case of a fast food worker who had his kidneys cooked ...

So obvious like...

Placing a cup of instant coffee in a microwave oven has been shown to produce the unique cafe-Lorenze-Fitzgerald time contraction effect. Not sure if you can time travel if the turntable is missing though.

Uh, OP: They can be purchased separately (There are two or three common sizes as far as I know.)
Roches Stores used to have 'em... oopsy. Try(In order) Tesco & Dunnes , Power City, Atlantic Homecare et al

Yes i believe that the turntable is required to complete the process. It regulates the folding of the time space continuum before the wormhole is created.

On a less silly note than the rest of this thread, thanks to infererence of the microwaves, there are points in the microwave where is is much warmer and points where it's cooler. (Constructive and Destructive Interference) The point of the turning is to make sure that it heats evenly - the points where it's hotter are on different parts of the thing being heated, so it heats evenly.

So it'll work grand without it, though it might be an idea to open it up and turn whatever you're heating once or twice so you don't get a frozen patch and a burnt patch

A microwave oven is quite a good Brownian Motion producer.

I advise using a metal plate to cook food on. And to put CDs in there too. Those CDs used for cleaning discmen.

that's why microwaves are so good as time machines, you simply modify them to affect time instead of heat, which creates "timeflows" like heat dispersion (but in essense function as a wormhole) which you can utilize to travel through time.
