There is some kind of metal in the microwave. Maybe you have a gold edge around your plate or a metal twist tie. You can not put metal in the microwave (one metal spoon or fork will be okay.)
How long do you microwave 5 sweet potatoes?
Put them in a microwave proof bowl ( you don't state if these are fresh or canned) or on a plate ( if fresh). If they are fresh pierce them with a fork before putting them in the oven. Set it for a minute and test to see if they are done by using a fork to test for softness. If canned put them in a bowl, sprinkle them with Cinnamon, and cook for about 50 seconds.
Why is it bad to put metal fork inside the microwave?
1/18/2012 I am improving on this answer because the answer that follows this note is encouraging possible disaster. No microwave manufacturer condones the use of metal of any kind in the oven. Yes, metal will arc and spark inside a microwave and WILL damage the oven. If this one person did not shorten the life of his (parent's) microwave oven it is a lucky break. (Val5330) Previous Answer: I'm answering this question because I'm tired of people telling me it's bad to put a fork in the microwave, because the TRUTH is, IT'S NOT. The theory that it's bad to put a fork in the microwave IS A MYTH! The theory is that the metal prongs on a fork will carry sparks of electricity which will jump and arc, and maybe destroy the microwave, but they will not, because the prongs are not close enough. Not Even Close. Now if you roll up a piece of tin or aluminum foil into a ball and microwave it, you will see some sparks because the metal tips are so close, but even this will not hurt you or your microwave. over the past 10 years, everything I have ever cooked in the microwave, such as hot pockets, pizza, burgers, ravioli, spaghetti, and all that, I have put forks and spoons in. It still works fine. Just to prove a point to my obsessed parents, I put about 10 forks in my microwave and let it run for 5 minutes. Guess what, NOTHING HAPPENED. In fact, the microwave has never had any problems, and still works to this day. Does that answer your question?
