Help
I'm lazy but hungry so I'm trying to make tortilini in my microwave. It's not going well.
For some reason the microwave has begun resetting itself to "cook/grill" instead of "microwave".
I put a caserolle in the wave filled with water and tortilline, fully expecting it to take care of itself, but oh no... 3 minutes later a weird burnt chemical smell is starting to spread in my apartment. I look in through the little dirty window and the caserolle is SMOKING! I open it and the whole thing looks like it was doused in carosine and someone threw a match at it.
Well, I reset the wave and put it back in ignoring the weird smell. I am currently airing out the room and staring at this developing disaster of culinary proportions.
I haven't changed the water or anything. I wonder if it's going to be eatable...
EDIT: My god, I think the handles may be slightly melted... I'm giving them another 7 minutes.
Epic Kitchen Screw Up. I really cannot cook anything.

Ever heard of take-out Apt? 
Is it possible to make the tortilline without a microwave?

I think the major mistake you made was that you're not supposed to place any item in the microwave except for those made for it. In other words: the plastic on your pot probably wasn't microwave resisted and melted because of it. (this may sound weird, since it acts perfectly fine on a stove, but a stove heats in a different way than a microwave does. It's all in the details 
)
Anyhew, glad your food still tasted nicely. Do air out your appartment, most burned plastic fumes are quite toxic if not cancerous.
And next time, just use the stove to boil pasta's. In my opinion it goes just as fast, requires the same amount of attention to it (which is none... or in your case a lot
) and i'm not sure about cost but my guess would be it's about the same. (except that now, with the microwave, you'll probably have to buy a new pot )

In my experience you can put ANYTHING in microwaves. The problem was that I set the wave to cooking, like in an oven, which the pot didn't like at all.
Still. I'm impressed that I failed a simple job of boiling tortillini.

You neglected to make a sacrifice to the microwave sprites.
Thus, they made spriteshite in your food. Hence, the curiously good taste yet you've have tapioca colored diarrhea for the last 24 hrs and just aren't admitting it.
- Abyss, ...yes, "spriteshite"...

So Abyss has shed a tight beam of bright white light, from a great height, on why the spriteshites might fight against Apt's bite-sized meal that's obvious with foresight?
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I love how your dinner was held in a flaming melting vessel and you put it back in the microwave anyways for more time. Your only worry seeming to be that your food may taste funny! Who cares if the house burns down! Maybe it is best you aren't using a stove!

Just for the record... You don't COOK things in the Microwave, you just make them hot.
You COOK things on a stove, or in an oven, or on a barbecue, or on an open flame (though technically only on stove, you roast or bake in an oven, roast or char on a bbq and roast over an open flame...)

I fail at simple things. More difficult things like cakes or pies or goats cheese pepperonata, no sweat. But in just the last 24 hours, I've managed to completely fuck up an omelette and try to make cheese on toast but forget to turn the bread into toast. So I sympathise heartily with you, you danish bastard. Although as a dane, you should be making nothing but bacon sandwiches, in which the bread has been replaced by more bacon.

Had a friend who got a meat pie, got rid of the pastry on top, submerged the meat with tomato sauce and filled it with jelly frogs. Then he cut it into portions, sprinkled chocolate powder over it and...
yeah.
yeah.

I agree on the epicness of tomato sauce toast... Food of Gods really.
I used to invent such weird meals when I was younger and never really felt like making real dishes.
One of my other brilliant creations was a sort of "lowlife raclette", it basically means you fill a plate with cheese and put it in the microwave. It'll be all melted and liquidish and then just eat it with whatever you can find. Ah, yes... me hungry now
