it doesn't look like he took much care of his microwave before he started melting bottles. re: all the food splatters seen around 1:30.

Also: a lot of these how-to types wear lumberjack shirts, i've noticed.

That's a famous microwave oven. It was used to develop all the tricks featured on "Unwise Microwave Experiments" page starting back around 1995. It appeared on KIRO CH7 Seattle on a segment about microwave hazards. It's seen LOTS of ball-lightnings, burning argon bags, and xmas-ornament light-shows.

No, this stuff doesn't destroy your oven. However, some ovens have weak metal/ceramic bonds on their magnetron tubes, and if the tube gets too hot, the seal can crack and destroy the vacuum. The one thing microwave ovens dislike, is to run empty for many minutes. So, it's best to buy a $5 microwave from a garage sale. Use that as your "experiments" microwave. That also keeps all the charred paint and burned plastic stink away from your food!
