Who designed the microwaves in Zomboid?

[Wyrm]

I mean I have microwaved things of metal in real life. I've yet to see a microwave explode in a ball of fire that blows out the walls and the counter in the kitchen.
What on earth have they used to manufacture these? Napalm????

Metals including stainless steel and aluminum foil

Anything made of or containing steel, iron, copper or other hard metals should never go in your microwave. Metal surfaces reflect microwaves, which increases the heat inside the appliance and could lead to a fire. If you’re storing leftovers in a metal container, remove the food and place it in a microwave-safe container instead.

"could lead to a fire" is not the same as "Will explode violently, tearing down walls and burning everything in a 5-meter radius within 10 seconds"

I do wonder if it would be an interesting tactic to lure a large group of zombies into a building and then detonate a microwave?

Idk. Why don't give it a try? Try putting a cast iron skillet in there and see what happens. For science.

If I had the economy to buy a new microwave I would try it.
But I can probably find someone who already done it on youtube
I'm still certain it won't explode my entire kitchen

metal and electronics heat up when the micwaves get reflected because it cannot pen the metal so the waves just bounce around the place - objects that are irregular like cutlery will make arcing electricity and fire appear pretty quickly. but flat, regular shaped objects take much longer to be affected.
microwaves going kaboom is a bit of a reach unless whatever you put in there is likely to go kaboom when its heated anyway xD
