Yes, I've set things into flames in the microwave before. You know what else can burn things to charcoal? A toaster oven...well, a convection oven. Yups. I was baking a tray of taco shells and had forgotten about it. Became charcoal....black, crisp piles that emitted such black smoke that the entire inside of of the oven was covered a thick black layer of it. I was lucky that I didn't burn my place down.
