Remember- 20-30 second bursts or you could have a fire in the microwave!! Watch closely.

I have put celery in the microwave to cook a little before putting it into another recipe. Celery starts to burn right away. Those little hairs on the edges catch fire and make the cutest little flames. We have fun just watching that. The flames go out in about half a second.
