Has anyone experienced their micro cooker melting while cooking?

I was making the dressing for the bacon/spinach salad in our salads cookbook. It even says to use the microcooker -- there is a hole in the bottom and it is all charred and bubbly in the bottom. I have been using it for at least two years with no problem. I was at a friends house and her house smells like a mixture of bacon and plastic.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Was it supposed to be used on full power? If you followed the directions of the recipe/Use and Care guide, then you should have been okay. Unfortunately it only has a 1yr. guarantee, so you can't get a free replacement. Now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if it should have been cooked on a lower power, because of the high fat content of bacon.
