I don't microwave coffee either although I'm a long way from a coffee snob drinking Dunkin' Donuts coffee. LOL

Thanks very much for this. The link from SS369 was very helpful too. Whew. The knives should be good.

Thanks a million for this. My daughter had it happen with one of the knives cutting raw carrots. The minerals in the soil make perfect sense but I cannot recall ever seeing it before. I appreciate the help very much. It's a peace of mind knowing it's not the knife. Thank you, Jerry

Ok, I'll check that out. It would be a first for me. I'm surprised these things don't spark while cooking in the steam bag. When some of them spark, it's like mini fireworks in your microwave and you can hear it.

When you looked it up, did you see anything about that kind of reaction? I have tried to find it myself which took me to you guys.

I normally wouldn't pay attention to the food once I put it in but when these fireworks go off, you can almost here your microwave transformer stressing out. LOL

I've never seen that before. These are those steam in the bag cut, frozen carrots. I think there could be small metal flecs or something from a factory cutter. They are Best Value, bargain brand. As I said to Merle, I am going to slice them with a plastic knife and see if they spark then. I see...

Me either Merle. I've worked with all types over the decades and when I could not get one spec of metal, etc to come off on a white paper towel, I was just baffled. I know they oxidize a little and some black will come off but I keep the oiled with vege oil, etc. but I thought that might be...

Thanks for the tip Chris. They appeared to be reputable and reasonable in price from what I expected. I'll go back to the posts from yesterday and let you guys know, I am sort of stumped on this problem. I have tried to 'isolate the variables' as my dear Dad would always say and here's a bit...

Thanks very much. I may not know knives, but I know what metal does in general, potential reactions to acidic food, etc and, that metal sparks in a microwave. At first, I thought somehow metal had gotten into the frozen carrots and when heating them it showed up but I finally figured out the...

Hi BillyO and thanks very much for the welcome and the quick, helpful reply. I've done woodwork over the years but not in many so my longtime fishing buddy loaned me his tackle box with the handle making materials and I've been doing a little of that stuff. I did not pay near what you suggest...

Hi everyone, I ventured into the hobby of 'knife making' post retirement about 3.5 months ago via a buddy who has done it for years. I put it in quotes since I really have only bought blades and put the handles on them as gifts for the family, etc. Over the holidays, I bought 'Damascus'...
