My old microwave is knackered - it only works when it feels like it.

Rather than just take it down the tip thought I'd try and blow it up first.

So what's the best way? Big can of something on full power? How long will it take to explode?

Anyone got any experience?

I'd be interested to see what a couple of car airbags would do to one, try and position them outwards....

Hey that wine box was cool! Blew up half the kitchen!

New microwave isn't big enough to take the old one and my lungs are too puny but made me laugh 😆

I've got a couple of airbags actually - that could be interesting....

A hydrogen filled balloon and a teaspoon should do the trick.

We managed to blow the door off one with a not-as-empty-as-we-thought can of WD40...

Hopefully not 😆

I'll do it outside and retire to a suitable distance with suitable PPE and just leave the camera to get a close-up.

Hopefully get it done Tues so I'll try and post back then.
