BEER BOTTLE: Yes, with care you can heat a spot on a glass bottle to red heat but without shattering the bottle. And yes, the microwave output of your oven will then raise it to incandescent white hot, melting a hole right through. And yes, during cooling the bottle will shatter, launching hot fragments all over the kitchen.

Better than a microwave is to slide a bunch of empty beer bottles into the bottom of a bonfire (
carefully!) and watch them melt. The entire bottle turns to molten glass and if you have a long metal marshmallow roasting thing, you can make cool sculptures by sticking the wire in there and pulling up and away from the fire as it cools. Carefully. Of course, we drank all the beer first. Let's hear it for backwoods Florida. Yee haw.
**Note: use a proper pit for the bonfire/campfire and just remember that the liquid glass will catch anything that it touches on fire. Learned it the hard way.
