answer:You know the answer to this one. Burning is bad. It is time to replace it. Sorry. OTOH, You can do a lot of experiments – outside, please – before you throw it away. Nuke a CD by putting it on top of an empty coffee mug . 5–8 seconds on high It’s a riot. Loosely wad up a sheet of aluminum foil and give it 10 seconds. Awesome. Try 3 raw eggs on a plate for 2 minutes – high. Disgusting. You’ll never get a better chance to try these tricks.
