I decided we would have baked sweet potatoes with dinner one night. Usually I just microwave them for about 8-10 minutes.
I had to try to figure out how to use this microwave....
Obviously - I knew it couldn't be the "JetDefrost" option that we needed.....so I used the "AutoCrisp" feature....ASSUMING that was normal cook....
The next time I turned around the kitchen was filled with SMOKE and it was coming from the MICROWAVE! I don't think these houses have smoke detectors - or I'm sure they would have been wailing....
Brad came to help - and as soon as I opened the microwave - SMOKE came POURING out! The sweet potatoes had only been in there for like a minute and a half! So he opened the patio door and threw them outside smoking and all so that they would stop smoking up the kitchen.
I guess we looked like a couple of crazies to anybody who may have happened to see us tossing smoking sweet potatoes out of the kitchen followed by fanning the smoke out!
--------
I have since figured out that if you don't select defrost or autocrisp - the microwave automatically operates on "normal" mode.
Lesson Learned.
