Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This (YouTube)

Jory Caron puts household objects to the test in his science-comedy program Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This?

In each episode, Jory takes an everyday object and puts it in the microwave to see what will happen. Items microwaved during the series include a bottle of beer, a smoke detector, and whipped cream.

The program's creators take some humorous measures to maintain their safety, including using tinfoil to shield their testicles from any microwave fallout. The team also uses a ventilate system to circulate the air in their studio. They often remind their audience that the experiments should not be replicated at home.

Many microwaves have fallen victim to the dangerous and unpredictable stunts performed in the webseries. New microwaves are regularly welcomed into the family and given female names to make them feel more at home.

The series is completely unscripted, so the reactions of host Jory, his sidekick Riley McIlwain, and camera man Jonathan Paula are genuine and spontaneous. They discoverthe results of the scientific experiment along with the audience as each episode unfolds.
