I know first hand that they should not be microwaved. When I was a teenager I tried boiling one in the microwave. It actually didn't explode in the microwave and I was even able to peel it. But when I bit into it, searing hot egg chunks went everywhere, including down my throat. I ran to the sink and drank ice cold water for about 5 minutes straight. Took a few weeks for my sense of taste to come back, and boy was my throat sore sore sore. Never ever EVER microwave eggs. At least yours exploded IN the microwave!!
