Never microwave an egg in its shell. It’s not a suggestion—it’s a physics lesson waiting to happen. The steam inside builds pressure faster than a teenager’s mood swing, and boom, you’ve got a volcanic yolk event.
Even if it doesn’t explode mid-cycle, it will likely blow up in your face when you try to peel it. It’s like handling a tiny, edible grenade with a bad temper.
If you absolutely must nuke an egg, crack it first. Poke the yolk with a fork or toothpick. Think of it as giving the egg a tiny escape hatch so it doesn’t take revenge on your kitchen.
