Disaster Kitchen: HOW???

[caffienekitty]

Okay. So, this wasn't even any kind of challenging cooking task, or an experiment, or anything involving fire at all and it still went foom.

I put literally a handful of frozen sliced strawberries into a huge microwavable container (they didn't even fill it to 1/4 of the way up the side, it was maybe a quarter of a cup, seriously) and put them into the microwave to thaw and warm up on 'reheat' for a quick breakfast thing. Result?



Strawberry Volcano.


How?? How does that small amount of frozen strawberries turn into that big of an eruption?? I mean, I should know better than to ever trust a frozen strawberry after the previous kamikaze murder attempts, but seriously! Physics?!? O.o

Err. Strawberries are obviously highly explosive..lol

Apparently!

High liquid content. Things with high liquid content must be nuked with great caution. I didn't learn that the first time either.

I've nuked entire bowls of soup for that long and they never exploded. I guess the energy gets concentrated in a smaller amount?

clearly they're murder-strawberries, planted by the fruit mafia as the start of their bid to take over the world *nods*
You must be a highly desirable target for them to try not-yet-perfected tech!
:D

I've hypothesized before that freezing makes them evil, since fresh strawberries and strawberry jam have never tried to kill me. Yet.

You should totally write a story about "murder-strawberries"!!!
