Sounds like a pretty complex and expensive way to ruin your microwave.

The easy solution is to get a cheap microwave at a thrift store or at a yard sale. I have found microwave ovens at the dump that still work.
as for the question about the production of phosphorus, I know it has been talked to death, the microwave oven idea didn't seem to draw much attention in the phosphorus thread.
