Take a naked bar of Ivory soap and microwave for 2 minutes (or less).

Use a BIG plate, and keep your eye on it, because it can get out of
hand if you're not watching!! *grin*

Will it ruin your microwave? Or need a big clean up afterwards?

Last time I did something like this I spent ages cleaning the microwave afterwards.

There are some pictures here: http://www.chemistry.org/portal/a/c/s/1/feature_ent.html?id=48a62f92effa11d6e2f06ed9fe800100

Looks like you would need to do some cleanup if your plate's not big enough
