Go on, laugh whilst you can


I feel like such a teenager.. as in... pretty d u m b :o

Late for work, scrambling in the kitchen to gather a salad, I decide to get some hard boiled eggs going. Problem is, was really short on time. I normally slow-boil my hard boiled eggs but tonight, took 2 eggs, placed'em in a casserole dish with water, covered it, shoved dish in microwave and it it on high.

Did you know you shouldn't do that? Neither did I.

My bloody eggs exploded.

I had my back to the microwave when there was a huge bang which made me jump. Turned to see gushing steam and the microwave door gaping open. Good grief, it was heart stopping. I didn't know if anything was on fire! Crept closer, stepping on mushy stuff (egg) to find the glass lid to one side, the entire inside of the microwave covered in bits (egg) too.

Good grief. I hope the damned thing still works, it's brand new and if I have to replace it, it'll cost me. It's one of those damned tank-like dual convection/microwave thingies.


I am SUCH an idiot tonight...

I loved mine when I used it for cooking roasts with convection and the temperature probe. I get 'perfect' roasts. A little pink, but not red.. I blew an egg up also, and melted a couple of 'microwave safe' cans of chili. ;-)

JimBob,
I hope I won't make anymore mistakes :o It was a real big shocker of a bang!
