Item #: SCP-248

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-248 is kept in the personnel break room. Any personnel are free to use it provided they do not use it to cook non-food items. As with all microwaves, no personnel should place metallic items in SCP-248, as this is a fire hazard.

Description: Object is an Emerson brand microwave oven. Object appears to function as an ordinary microwave oven in that it cooks food for a time set by the user. However tests reveal that the device does not cook using microwaves, but through some other unknown means.

Any food item placed within SCP-248 is greatly enhanced in both nutritional content and overall flavor. The temperature of the food will change to that of optimum eating temperature and seems to remain at this temperature until the item has been consumed. Occasionally the temperature of the item is reduced, in order to achieve optimum food quality.

Although the device must be plugged in to function, it consumes very little electricity. The clock on the device has shown to keep time even when the microwave is not plugged in, though the time does not display.

Addendum: The following is a log of original items put in, cooking time, and the resulting product. Any personnel wishing to use the device should record their results.

Agent ████ has suggested on several occasions that we attempt to market this drink.

Cooking time: Three hours
Result: In light of SCP-807's effects, experiment was conducted in a sealed chamber, via remote. Resultant product was a large glob of lard. Testing indicates it to be normal fat, without either the usual improvment in nutritional value by SCP-248 or the attraction impulse generated by SCP-807.
