I feel an idiot as a colleague has just gone off to microwave lunch IN THE FOIL CONTAINER IT CAME IN - apparently this is now ok. I feel old and stupid.
Anyone care to share anything else with me to stop me feeling stupid in future situations?

Since WHEN??? ShockShockShock

Stop trying to make microwaving foil happen. Microwaving foil is never going to happen.

He put it in with the foil still on?

Did it not spark and break? 😱
