QuestionWhat about the metal staple in the microwave oven?Community AnswerYou're supposed to heat up the water first, then dunk the packet in the hot water for about five minutes. So the staple will never be in the microwave. Also, a staple is small enough vis-a-vis the amount of liquid that it won't affect the microwave.
