Never failed me yet. Put a cd or dvd into a microwave oven, set 10 seconds, start and keep your finger on cancel button or a door release. You will see light running like lighting bolts. Once there are red dots, turn it off, or you will create a burning odor. Non recoverable and fun. What is wrong with the old good microwave method? Never failed me yet.

CD-ROMs are very easy to shatter by hand: just grab two opposing points on the circumference with your thumb and other fingers, aim towards the trash, and bend. It snaps into shards.
