cooking it just keeps beeping....  So you are in there cooking and Beep, 
you're stirring something Beep, and you Beep, are thinking Beep, I 
simply asked you to melt Beep, Some butter Beep, Now I have to Beep, 
stop stirring my sauce Beep, so that I can go and push Beep, a button.

Spew!!!! How the hell did you fit a 28 pound bird into a microwave?  Oh 
wait I misread.... Standard Oven... Got it.  I thought you meant 
standard sized microwave oven.... giggle.   In our case we simply didn't 
watch him putting the bag in... so it was our fault since it was like 
his second time and I think the First time I "Helped" him so it was his 
first time solo... easy mistake to make when you can't read.
