How long in a microwave is enough to destroy an RFID chip? There must be a length of time that can melt the chip but not cause a fire. Maybe just a few seconds?

Do you recall a mish household tip of the day?
I do not have tine to look for it but essentially overloading one's freezer can end up with the label on a bottle of Pompein Red Wine vinegar catching fire in the microwave (and stinking the kitchen up to high heavens) and a puddle of water on the kitchen floor to boot.

Here is the short version:
I overstocked the freezer so badly that things started to melt (no cold air circulation) and there was a big puddle of water on the floor. In response I turned down the temperature to the point that stuff in the refrigerator (like vinegar) froze solid.

I attempted to thaw it out in the microwave and the metal foil caught on fire.

That is the gist of it and Mish's household tip is to NOT overstuff your freezer or you may end up with puddles of water on the kitchen floor and smoke in your microwave one day later.
