Yeah, but my GE microwave has a readout that says "your food is done".
That reminds me that there is food in it. However, one day I placed
an empty bowl in there which I wanted to dry quickly. I figured the
MW would heat the water enough to dry it. It dried fairly well, but
when I went to open the door, the readout said "your food is done".
I looked and looked, but never found any food. This means my
microwave is a liar and a fraud. I am considering turning it into the
FBI. In fact, I bet if I placed some cat shit from my litter box in
there, it would say "your food is done". Now who in their right mind
would eat cooked cat shit? It's a sick world we live in when we cant
even trust our own microwave because it lies...... :)
