| 13. Microwave for twelve minutes on HIGH |
|
You'll hear a bunch of noises like glass shattering and metal flying around and electrical buzzing - but let it get to you. You gotta go the whole 12 minutes. Those sounds are being made by the jar to fool you into opening the microwave and stopping the process, which it hates, because it hates to give up its lid. Those sounds are all artificial. It's just the jar crying wolf.
