I thought metal in a microwave was bad?

[Thechoice1products]

@Crustydraw Yes just metal in a microwave is bad, apparently the water insulates them,  This is not smoke and mirrors, it works....

[Thechoice1products]

Bubbba - Yes, just like in the video. It needs to be submerged in water in the cup. DO NOT just put the thermostat in the microwave, that is not what we did...

Yes the thermostat is metal, and I thought the same thing (Is it safe??) before I saw it and then did it myself. Don't forget to visit the website listed above! :)

Hi I boiled a thermostat I got new for my 96 Jeep Cherokee and it did not open. So I got another new thermostat.The supplier says it needs putting in the car and pressurising to work. Do you think he is correct or just Bull Shi**ing me?

[Thechoice1products]

That is bull.  Thermostats should open up at their rated temperature, that simple. Maybe wait 'til the water just stops boiling, if you are dropping it into boiling water.

whaat how did you put metal in the microwave, that is impossible it will blow up

[Antithropocentric]

@Thechoice1products, since water boils at 212F and most thermostats are set to open at 180F or 195F, you really need a thermometer in gradually-warmed water to test a thermostat. If you have it in the water already, you can't tell what temperature it opened at. Speed isn't everything.

[Antithropocentric]

Potentially hitting the metal (and internal wax pellet) with microwaves doesn't seem like a great idea. Microwaves don't penetrate very far into water but impurities could induce current through the metal, and microwaves might sneak through the bottom of the cup.

You really need a high-temp thermometer to test accurately for the thermostat's rating, anyhow. I'd rate this method as hillbilly.
