Tried pea-soup, but it exploded as I did not put a spoon in it, the whole microwave was splattered under !
Everybody knows that eggs will explode in a microwave; a tremendous pressure is built up until the shell can't hold it any more.

Or so I thought it was. I boiled an egg (the traditional way), peeled it, to realize that it was much too soft. So I put it on a small plate in the microwave to give it ten seconds extra. And it exploded.

It turns out that the pressure does not build up inside the shell, but inside the yolk. When it explodes (when some membrane covering it cannot hold it more), it explodes and ruptures the shell if it is there. It explodes just as much without shell being there.

If you need an excuse for (having to) cleaning up your microwave properly, try this out!
