“Ummmmm… Is that supposed to happen?” I nervously asked my dad as my eyes flicked back and forth from my dad and the Chickfila currently engulfed in flames. Probably a better question to ask is, “why is that happening?” Even better, get the blazing sandwich out of the microwave, which let me tell you I was not going to do. My dad quickly grabbed the Chickfila bag from the side that isn’t up in smoke. For some magical reason unknown when my precious food was taken out of the microwave the fire vanquished.
“Beep,beep,beep!” The smoke alarm alerted us right on time… Not! The pungent smell filled the air, the chicken did almost nothing to diminish the smell. Half the bag was charred, but when taken out the bag there where no casualties in the food. “Mmmmmm…” Actually the chicken was crispy, just how I like it.
Looking back I gained more than crispy chicken from my mistake. Now I know just because something looks heatproof doesn’t mean it is, the foil was prey to keep the heat in, it NEVER goes in the microwave. This can also serve a broad lesson, don’t assume things purely from sight.
