Experiment #371: Cranberries (Rated PG) Do cranberries explode in the microwave? Well, sort of. I had a few pop like the chestnuts I did, but since they were all packed into a jar, they didn't really go flying, the majority just let out their juice and a few, believe it or not, sparked like grapes do when they're sliced. This might be one of the weirdest fruit items that I ever microwaved, in fact the different phases of it were so weird that I did something I rarely do anymore. I left the entire thing in real time. What I ended up with was some burnt cranberry sauce. It's weird that I'd never seen anyone on YouTube attempt microwaving a cranberry or putting multiple cranberries into their microwave just to see what they did. I was hoping for a cranberry explosion for the entire 13 minutes like when I did the watch batteries, but instead what I got was more like the blueberries I did and the strawberries I did (they didn't arc as intensely as a grape). Anyways, Thursday is Thanksgiving in the US, while in Canada it was on the holiday that's also known as Columbus Day, so if this is irrelevant for you or long overdue, I apologize, but I hope you do still enjoy this episode. And I know it's really long, but if you want my advice, after the first minute or two of microwaving, just cut to random points ahead to see the progress, but I left it open for you the option to watch the whole entire thing. After last year's not-so-festive Thanksgiving special which was a rush job because of the Google+ fiasco (everyone said I should have made the squash my Thanksgiving special), I decided to do a proper Thanksgiving special for everyone. Season 12 of Microwave Me is filmed with a high definition JVC camera in 1080p widescreen for optimal viewing, hosted and produced by Captain Microwave who used for this episode a 1987 GE microwave named Ellen.
