That may be, depends on what you put in it. I've seen kids try to "cook" some strange things.

The problem we have here in Massachusetts is the Damn lobster pots. They're so deep that many homeowners can't even fit them on the stove without hitting the microwave.

My microwave installation must have a huge clearance, because I can't survive without my lobster & melted butter. MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm

This one on Monday was at 15"from the gas cook-top.

I can beat all you guys,..... 13.5 inches from electric cook top to bottom of microwave. When does the madness end?
