Unpleasant surprise.

[Ford]

Hello everybody.
Bought 2 new bowls as spares. But got an unpleasant surprise. On first use.

I use a microwave to melt my oils. So, this did not go over very well. First thoughts were microwave going. It is that old.
Never thought to look here for metal. Just posting this as something else to look for. And hopefully no one else has this issue.

Oh, that’s too bad. But everything is ok I hope.
I once put a melamine bowl in the microwave - I burned a hole in it and had a ghastly smell, like burning hair/tire fire. Now I know…

 

[Ford]

Hello @Vicki C, yup, all is well. Just a little wake up call. Been snowing since midnight up here.

Where was that metal piece hiding @Ford? Glad nothing too crazy happened before you sussed it out.

 

[Ford]

Oh, that is the back side of the label. On the white bowl. Pictured. Sorry for any confusion.

 

[AliOop]

Sheesh, I never would have thought to check the backside of the label for metal. Maybe it's an anti-theft label?

 

[Ford]

@AliOop, could be anti-thef. A $2.99 bowl from wally world. Must be high on somebody's list. Of things to steal.
