Or (dramatic close up of a cookie on a dish drying) the milk simply insulated the surface of the nanobots.

Thank you and I wasn't asking you to search for me, like I said, explanation for dummies as most of the severely technical stuff goes right over my head. The first link you supplied I could follow and understand (3000 degrees?

) but the technical paper is I think going right over my head.

Thanks again.

Yeah, the technical paper was one I just stumbled across..... I only skimmed through myself, so I can't admit to understanding it yet....I might try to tackle it when I've got an hour or two to really dig into it. Seems like a really fascinating experiment.....If I can understand enough of it, maybe I'll try to recreate it in my own microwave (hopefully not blowing myself up in the process!)

Your mom must have mastered the use of the microwave for baked goods! I have found the kids putting baked goods in the microwave only to find the kitchen full of smoke and a hard very crisp piece of unidentifiable ???? not sure what sitting there untouched once the discovery was made that they had set the inside of the microwave on fire...Personally I prefer not to use a microwave and have moved mine in our garage for those who need or want to use it.
