    My boomer mom will put a tea bag in a mug of water then nuke that until it bubbles to make tea. (Yes, even when the tea bag has a staple).

    But, if she is heating up a can of soup, she will dump that into a sauce pan and heat that up on the gas range, on the burner right next to the nice kettle I got her years ago.

      Does the staple cause any issues?

        Technically, any metal is a no no, but her microwave has never exploded.

          I have heated up a foil lined tetra carton of soup that caused some sparks, but I stopped it immediately and learned my lesson.
