Time for food prison

My grandmother used to make "hardboiled" eggs in the microwave. That stopped the day the door of the microwave blew open mid-cook-time, releasing a cloud of sulfurous smoke.

Isn’t that just a microwaved egg?

The shell is good for you but I advise chewing thoroughly.

I've made microwaved hard-boiled eggs exactly twice. The first time they came out perfectly. The second time they exploded with so much force the door blew open, despite me doing everything exactly the same. I will never microwave eggs again, but I'm happy for your success

I don’t want to alarm you, but do not approach the egg lest a tiny face hugger will jump out at you

Check your vents for any creatures

Nuke it from orbit

Looks like an egg from Aliens.

PRO TIP: Make scrambled eggs in a coffee cup. Great trick for a meal at work!

Crack the egg in a coffee cup, add a dash of water and vinegar, whip up with a fork, cover with a paper towel, nuke it for X seconds. 90 seconds seemed about right last time I did this, YMMV.

No idea why the vinegar and paper towel are needed, but it don't cook right without those elements. 🤷🏻 I sometimes use Tabasco for the vinegar addition.

If I were the kind of guy that ate eggs regularly, I'd probably have tested whether poking some holes in the shell would avoid it exploding as violently as they tend to due to the buildup of pressure. I normally poke holes with a thumbtack when I boil them in a pot, but only one in each end. But yeah, maybe more than one hole in each end would be enough to alleviate the pressure, combined with setting the microwave to a lower wattage when cooking.
