So my Friday morning started out like most, except that your Friday is MY Monday. I'm starting a seven day stretch of 12 hour shifts today, so I'm dragging the hind end a bit ok? I failed to pack my lunch ahead of time last night, so I decided that I was going to grab four eggs out of the fridge and boil them at work for breakfast. At NO point in time did I think "You can't boil eggs in the microwave," even though we had just saw a video posted here on BYC the other day. And if the thought DID cross my mind, it was quickly replaced with, "Well they wont explode if they are in a bowl of water."

So I get to work, ON TIME by some good grace, and start my shift. Approximately 15 minutes in, I decide its time for breakfast. So I grab the oversized ceramic soup bowl, get the water good a boiling in the microwave, and once its boiling take it out and insert 4 VERY LARGE brown eggs. Close the door, and set it for 12 minutes. Dont know why 12, but I always boil my eggs for 12 minutes exactly. Thats how my mother did, sue me!

Well all was trucking along until about the 3 minute mark, and this happened....

... Now this little trick can rival the magic of David Copperfield I'm quite certain. Of the 4 VERY LARGE brown eggs that were in there, I was only able to find a few pieces of shell, and a few clumps of yolk. The door was BLOWN OPEN on the microwave, and egg particle spewed onto the wall adjacent to the counter.

The only thing that I can say for sure is that (A) I'm glad there wasn't an officer in dispatch with me, because I would have been shot, and (B) I'm glad I wasn't on the radio when it happened otherwise the fire department would have sent the bomb squad out!

So heed my warning, eggs CANNOT be boiled in the microwave!

Sorry that happened to you..but ok.. I just have to ask.. where did you read you could boil eggs in the microwave?

I cant even CRACK an egg with a whole yoke and cook it in the micro without it exploding on me unless you scramble it first...so to cook one in the entire shell is new to me.

What a mess! Must've scared you to death to hear that explosion!
 
What a mess I did something like that with tomato sauce once but wow! umm what did the other employees (I am guessing cops) think?

hope the rest of your day (and the next 11) go better!
 
OMG this is just too funny.... read your post again and can just SEE this entire scene playing out!!
