Can I heat up a beer can in my microwave?

[Siege]

I forgot my Miller Lite Cube was in the freezer.

I opened one and it was frozen.

Can I melt it by heating it up in the microwave?

Not unless  you want to destroy your microwave.

[Jaron]

Yes, you can. But be sure not to open the can or it might explode.

[Siege]

You sure? Have you tried it or is it an urban legend?

[Maximus]

Jaron is wise

[Maximus]

I can't believe I said that.

[Siege]

What setting should I use?

[Maximus]

defrost, duh

Aren't the beer cans made of metal?
Wouldn't they blow up the microwave?

Put it under a running tap in the sink.  It will take a minute and be fine.

Fuck man, you are a fucking genious.
I had forgotten about that one.
I blame it on Iraq and fucking PTSD.

Hot water for my beer.

Ok, two things.  You shouldn't put metal in a microwave, it would eventually ruin it.  You also shouldn't heat cans, because they might explode.  If you're unlucky, they won't went through the drinking hole, but rather explode when you pop them.  Finally, and somewhat contradictory to point 2, I'm not even sure that you'd be able to heat the beer.  I think metal doesn't let microwaves through, although I could be way wrong on this one.

Dammit, you guys ruined some potential good stories of how the microwave blows up his frozen girlie beer cans.
