LOL!
I'm guessing that if you let them, you'd learn a lotta tricks from the middle school students.
Heck. The only explosives fun I ever had in school was the old
M-80-in-the-toilet trick.
You do sound a lot more fun than good old
Mr. Wizard!
When I watch TV, these days, I make a note every time they say, "Don't try this at home," and try to guess how many kids, (and immature adults,) were already taking note and stacking up supplies.
About the foil in the nuker. I knew that was a no-no in most nukers. But I thought the more recent ones had been engineered to get around that catch, and were actually allowing some in them. After all, they DO put that whole metal tray in the 1/2 Time Oven. Surely a little foil couldn't screw things up!
Oh well.
I do know that it's very good to be able to use what is ostensibly a"nuker" to get actually browned and truly baked goods out in a hurry. (Ever try browning stuff in an early nuker, without using some kind of disguising sauce on it? Ever get a fully baked treat from an old nuker? Yuck!)
