  1. Silly me.

    It would be very practical to be able to hard boil eggs in the nuke I
    thought.
    So I nuked an egg, whole, on high for 1 minute. Just before the minute
    was up, BANG.

    OK... I guess it needs to be heated slower so the steam can escape. So
    I heat it on 30% for 3 minutes. Just before the time dings.... BANG.

    Ok, ISTR something about pricking the shell, lets ths team escape. So I
    confidently hole the shell, puncturing the membrane inside too, knowing
    this one cant go wrong. I nuke for 3 minutes at 30%. 2 seconds before
    ping.... BANG!!!

    I now have a very ornately 3D decorated microwave interior, complete
    with stalactites, and a rich mixture of white and yellow patterning...
    everywhere.

    So I googled, and sure enough shell cooking eggs is just no go. If only
    I'd read that first! I'm still convinced I saw a commerical nuke egg
    cooker with a spike that pricked the shell, but from what I've read it
    sounds like it was dangerous.

    Ah well. I guess not every eggsperiment is a success. Just have to
    learn from eggsperience.

    Better get right to it ... perhaps nuke some water in there to loosen things
    up a bit?

    Nuke marshmallows instead. ;-)

    Toasts them on the inside and they don't explode, but they way they
    expand is very soul satisfying......

    Peeps are good nuked too.

    crispy. yum

    Years ago I used to work swing shift in the offices of a large Silicon
    Valley computer company.

    One evening there was the terrible smell coming from the break room. I
    walked into the room and there was the janitorial crew, cleaning out
    the microwave. They had been on dinner break. They guys were all
    Korean and didn't speak much english. I managed to find out that while
    they were warming a large whole carp in the microwave, it had exploded
    all over the interior of the oven. At least it wasn't burned popcorn.

    That microwave was also used for vindictive purposes. A swingshift
    co-worker used to nuke dayshift workers desktop plants for 10 or 15
    seconds. The plant appeared fine when it came out of the microwave,
    but would die a week or so later.

    Microwaves are evil.

    I generally get extra peeps during the easter season and let them get
    nice and stale and hard.

    They nuke great in the winter that way!

    Floating a peep in a cup of hot cocoa is kinda sadistic. They melt away
    slowly until all there is left is a little pair of peep eyeballs staring
    at you out of your cup.

    Yeah. Don't ask me how I know this, but peep bats puff up and then
    disappear if you cook them in the toaster oven.
