Input: Text: poached eggs are delicious — they’re prepared by cooking an egg in boiling water and typically served on toast. 

well lately i’ve been a bit lazy with my egg creations and have been using the microwave to expedite a quick, nice snack.

i recently tried scrambled, over easy, etc.

all came out “flawlessly” and i kind of got into a routine. well at about one in the morning (last night) i got the old hankering for an egg. so i figured why not try one of my favorite types of egg (poached)?! also i was just in my boxers at this point (important for later).

i filled a cup full of water and cracked an egg into it. the neat thing about cooking eggs in the microwave is that it only takes seconds. 

i put it on for one minute. which i don’t think was the mistake.. but who knows at this point. when the timer went off i took a look in the cup and voilà! i nicely formed poached egg was in the cup!

i was pretty stoked it worked, a culinarily genius? perhaps.

well... the next step is removing the egg from the cup. so i figured i’d just take a spoon and carefully pick up the egg to place it on my plate. as soon as i touched the metal spoon to the egg...

kaboom!!!

it sounded like a shotgun and i wouldn’t be surprised if it was just as loud. it scared the crap out of me. imagine a small explosion going off in your face. now recall i was only wearing boxers. boiling egg and water covered me from head to toe. it felt like my skin was melting off.

i ran to the shower to quickly remedy my thousand little 3rd degree burns.

it didn’t help much and now i have little welts all over my torso. it felt like a hundred needles hitting me all at once.

so needless to say, i’m not going to do that again and i hope that this inspires you not to try it. what i figure happened is the water or egg super boiled when i touched the metal to it and caused it to rapidly expand or pop. it was the worst.

 

edit: fixed typo!
