Melting Tallow in Microwave Oven
By Julian Burke

Do not put anything made of metal into a microwave oven for melting
tallow.  Since the radio frequency energy in the oven will cause arcing
all over the metal, it can cause the tallow to catch fire and ruin your
oven.  Also, technically speaking, the metal will cause "standing
waves" and is in effect, a _direct short_ to the magnetron.
