Years before personal computers (much less the Internet shopping for
microwave egg boilers) my father tried boiling an egg in the microwave.
It was purely an experiment on his part. Circa 1973. It definitely
exploded. I don't see much reason for trying to boil eggs in a
microwave oven. Scrambled eggs are another subject. LOL
