That's kind of how we found the hidden fuse box in our old house. Young me was having fun putting a screw across a partially connected plug and then half the basement lights went out.

They were out for a month since none of the fuses blew in the only fuse box we knew about. Had to get some special equipment to trace the lines without tearing out the walls. The box was in the ceiling completely covered by drywall.

Microwave them with a bowl over the top of the plate there on or a plate over the top of the bowl they are in, and if necessary sprinkle a little water in.

Or if you are truly dedicated to the craft, got a steamer basket for a pot, and boil your choice of a half inch or 1 cm of water in the bottom of the pot, put the fries in the steamer basket, and put a lid on the steamer.

It's the thermal conductivity. Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy an object can hold per unit temperature. It doesn't really matter in most cases as it doesn't take much energy to burn you. Also, water has a very high specific heat capacity - much higher than metal.
