Oops.

I've had this microwave egg poacher for a few years. Over the course of one of my moves, I lost the instructions.

Not letting that deter me, I found some instructions online. They looked simple enough. Crack egg into poacher. Add water. Poke yolk. Cook for a minute.

So I follow the instructions, a little wary given the family story about Uncle S and the exploding egg.

30 seconds later, my dog has a panic attack because it sounds like a gun just went off in the microwave.

Yep. Take it aaaaallllllllllllllll in. You can't even see all the stuff on the door.


Not to be deterred, again, I cleaned everything up and tried again.

This time I didn't just poke the yolk, I murdered it. *stab* I want my egg, *stab* and I want it now! *stab* No more explosions in MY microwave! *STAB*

I also decreased the cook time to 55 seconds and the power to 6... But I'm pretty sure it was the stabbing that did the trick.

Doesn't that just look delicious?!?
