1. Did you set your microwave on fire?

[PADemD]

2. Yes

I was making bacon and when the microwave turned off, I found flames inside. Put it out with water.

4. FYI water- electrical appliance...

not always the wisest thing to use...

A pound of flour and shut the door should have done the trick :)

5. Much less water and burning grease.

3. uh oh.

How did that happen?

6. I don't know.

I was putting the dishes away and the microwave turned off. When I looked, there were flames inside. I had placed the bacon on paper towels to microwave, and I was afraid the towels would become fully engulfed so I poured water and the flames went out. I think the microwave died before I poured the water.

7. I am sad for you.

It's a shame to waste bacon. :-(

8. Glad everything is OK

I had my own little kitchen trauma recently when a microwave safe muffin pan that was stored in the drawer under my oven caught on fire. Febreeze works wonders when you're trying to get rid of that weird burning smell.
