I don't know how I have never heard that you need to be careful when nuking eggs.... but I know I am not soon going to forget.
After about 30 seconds I heard a loud -- and I mean LOUD (try it for yourself if you don't believe me) BOOM. One egg yolk exploded all over inside my microwave. I took the the bowl out and thought I had better poke the other yolk with a fork so it wouldn't explode too...
As soon as I touched it with my fork it blew up too... this time, all over my face and the kitchen. It was even louder than the first one because there was nothing to muffle it. A little crazy and scary.
Needless to say, my son would not eat an egg after that, and in his cute 2 year old voice he said,
"Mommy, you need to go take a shower!"
Ah, the adventures of trying to eat healthy.

holy crap! i had no idea eggs would do that. i've always scrambled mine before putting them in the microwave.
OMG. I alwasy put whole eggs in the microwave but I always add water. I hope you are okay and 30 seconds didn't heat the egg up too much.
BAH!! I am not much of a microwaver but umm... I couldn't help but giggle a little when I read this! I LOVE THAT YOU ARE EATING EGG WHITES!! ;o) So sad that the yolk attacked. If it can do that much damage it can't possibly be good for you right? ;o)
ROFl i'm sorry to laugh, but that is so funny. I'm really glad you didn't get hurt when that egg exploded all over you.
I'm seriously tempted to try this out. I really do have the emotional maturity of a 10 year old.
wow, I stay away fron microwaved eggs - I think they taste like rubber. lol
I was worried about you getting burned but you sound like you are okay. Hopefully you got the shower you needed. haha
Oh, Vicki! How awful! LOL! On the other hand, that would be a fun science experiment for school, right? :)
