My niece once asked me "What would happen if we turn on the microwave but there's no soup inside?" My niece is a
young diabetic patient whose staple diet is nuked spaghetti and special broth made for diabetics. This show of curiosity has led me to suspect that she had been tinkering with the oven for quite some time now. She could have probably detached the
microwave door or plugged the appliance into the wrong socket, or worse, without a surge suppressor!
