this is completely cheating one
if an electrolytic capacitor is placed in a high denser microwave region( a PCB which contain electrolytic capacitors), the capacitor will be explode within 30 seconds.

yes.you are right.while watching the video i noticed that the fire from the backside of oven makes the PCB to burn and it exploded.but there is also a chance for the PCB to explode when it is heated by external supply in a closed container.we have to do re-search to confirm these things.

nice find. but i suspect its credibility, because i have heard that microwave can heat up only the water content present in matter (like in food substances). metal….i dont know

there’s a chance that this is a spoof, video is not continuous at many places!!!

can you research more on this topic ?
