Microwave Explosion

Stove-top splatter

1 yolk pretty much missing – exploded

Here is a funny story about Labor Day Sunday at our house.  As I was getting ready for church, I heard some commotion happening in the kitchen.  Daughter was exclaiming something about NOT eating those eggs that were being prepared in her dad’s jacket.  I didn’t fully understand until later.  My husband had decided to try an experiment after watching this youtube video:  How to Scramble Eggs Inside Their Shell. I failed to take pictures of him actually scrambling the raw eggs in his jacket sleeve (which he may not have performed this correctly) and the appearance of the hard boiled eggs that had cracked in the boiling process.  They looked quite hideous!  However, later in the day I decided to try to eat one of these disgusting looking eggs.  The whites were completely mushy and soggy.  Eww!  Ugh!  But the yolks appeared normal.  I test tasted one and it was good.  So I proceeded to peel a couple more eggs to eat the yolks and disposed of the whites in the trash.  I prefer to eat yolks slightly warm with a tad bit of butter and salt, so stuck them in the microwave to heat – for only 12 seconds!!!!  When I opened the microwave door, the one yolk EXPLODED!  I mean, it really exploded – all over the kitchen!  Pieces of the yolk flew as far as 12 feet across the kitchen – almost hitting our daughter who was standing there.  It was hilarious, but what a mess to clean up.  If you try this experiment at home, do be cautious and aware of the mess you may need to clean. 🙂
