There is an infinite supply of items in the universe to microwave, not all of them fall under neat little categories like the ones I have. That is what this page is for. From Christmas tree ornaments, to toothpaste, you will find it on this page.

First up on the list is some tooth paste. We put the tooth paste onto the green plate in the form of a happy face and connected each element together with some copper wire.

Christmas Tree ornaments are very nice looking, usually they are made of glass, or porcelain, but the cheap ones are made of plastic. We aren't as privileged to have the glass ones, rather we have the plastic kind, but they still perform well, maybe even better then their more expensive counterparts.
We have two different sizes of Christmas tree ornaments, the smaller, normal sized green one, and the extra large blue one. We also have 4 videos because we microwaved each one twice.

As you can see, the Christmas tree ornaments acted much like the CD's, except it was 3 dimensional. The ornaments also had some qualities of the chip bags because they melted. This provided for an interesting final result.
Average paper does absolutely nothing when placed in a microwave, paper that is sensitive to laser's however, that has potential.

The laser sensitive paper surprised us and as it was being microwaved, strange marks appeared on the paper.
I didn't think that the back light diffuser that was on the Dell LCD screen would do anything in the microwave, but, Mike thought differently. It turns out that the wires caught fire, interesting and cool nonetheless:
