Yesterday our middle son asked me how long to heat up some pizza. I told him 5 min at 400f in the air fryer.

About five minutes later he calmly comes down to tell me “uhm, there’s a fire in the microwave.”

Apparently it takes 5 min or less to ignite a slice of pizza in the microwave. No permanent damage to the house, but the microwave still smells like burnt cheese/popcorn/plastic. 😅 We had a long talk about paying attention to instructions.

@geno good thing to learn while young, a roommate of mine did this in college xD
