Unintentional experiment took place in kitchen this morning

[NyleRN]

So I fixed some eggs and sausage for the family and my son wanted hard boiled eggs. Ok, no biggie. I boiled them for about 7-8 minutes. He started eating them and the yoke was still runny. No biggie. I'll just microwave them a bit. (You see where this is going now right?) So in the 1100W micro they go on high. How long do think it took till I had a mess to clean up?

Live and learn my friend.

Ouch! I think my parents were the first in Morgan County to own a microwave. It was literally the best thing since sliced bread. I could cook or reheat anything, I THOUGHT. I also popped a few eggs in shell into this new miracle machine and shut the door, turned the dial and anxiously awaited for the bell to ring. Man was I mistaken. The door was blown open almost ripping it off the hinges. That was the good part as they could have been replaced. There was blasted blown apart liquified eggs on every square inch of Mom's newly remodeled kitchen, my mother and myself. It took me two days to wipe down the walls, ceiling and cabinets. I don't recall being allowed use of it after that without adult supervision.

Oh thank God! I was hoping beyond hope that this thread didn't involve nudity (at least of the male variety) and frying bacon!

I agree! The good news is that the yoke was cooked through before the pop. And it took 40 sec

Hard boil egg recipe- Place eggs in pan with enough COLD water to cover by 1 inch. Cover pan and place on burner on high, and bring to a strong boil. Then remove pan from heat and let stand for 20 minutes. When time is up run cold water over the eggs to stop any further cooking, then peel.

Bought this about 5 years ago. Perfect eggs, no matter your desired hardness, every time. It cooks with steam and only takes a couple of minutes. They never go boom either

If anyone also sees the handheld milk frother on that page with the egg steamer it works pretty good.

I remember my first microwave, the ex bought it for an anniversary gift. He said we could make hard boiled eggs in the shell in it. It came with a cookbook and it specifically said NOT to do that! Luckily, we never did. I had no idea it would be that bad!

Either you are confusing eggs with c4, or this story is grossly exaggerated.

Just to save you from another experiment; if you ever run out of detergent for the dishwasher and you have regular liquid soap available, don't.... just don't.

I think he's lying. Try it and let us know if he is.


Btw, I've actually done this. You'd be amazed what just a few drops will do.

Do it also. Just use a few drops of regular dish soap and a couple tablespoons of baking soda. Works great and we no longer buy expensive special dishwasher detergent.

20 minutes will make them tough and green up the yolks. I cook a dozen at a time for snacks and they only sit after boiling for 12 minutes. Used to do 14, but wife didn't like them, so now twelve and she is happy!
