When we got a new microwave after renovating our kitchen, I burned a lot of things -- apparently, as microwaves grow older they take longer to cook. Mine was about 18 years old so I had a huge learning curve in timing with my new one. Glad you didn't burn the pistachios...I'm sure the odor from that would have been a lot worse!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908246018959064657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484061334032211360.post-62973104252579035852011-01-01T11:52:38.765-08:002011-01-01T11:52:38.765-08:00I have a deathly fear of the microwave, and this j...I have a deathly fear of the microwave, and this justifies it. LOL! I'm glad you showed us what could happen. You know, I put one of my favorite ceramic bowls (microwave safe) in the microwave, and it cracked in half. I was madder than ten wet hens!<br /><br />Your brittle, though, looks good so I'm sure it was worth it in the long run!<br /><br />But don't you love telling someone how easy peasy something is only to have a kitchen catastrophe???

I'd rather cook it in a pot with the candy thermometer attached to the side.
