Seems like anything that has metal in it will get removed... Maybe even recycled.?.
I made a working model of a microwave assisted heater once out of an old Microwave oven. I will post pictures of it when I get my count up past 5 posts. But it essentially used cooking grade oil in a polypropylene coil inside the oven passed in and out through rubber grommets to a slow circ. pump in/out of a heat exchanger with thermostatically controlled fan. I had high limit safety's, check valves, and everything. Worked really well - The only problem is that I think at 1000W of electricity to produce enough heat to warm an average room was proving to be a rather inefficient endeavour - but it was fun to build
