Careful what you suggest - someone might actually try it. My better half tried "hard-boiling" a raw, uncracked egg in the microwave oven.
[email protected] egg went off like a freakin' grenade. Blew the door clear across the kitchen and we were cleaning spattered egg off everything in there - floor, cabinets, ceiling, window, refrigerator, stove, counter tops, etc. - for hours. Luckily no one was present in the kitchen when this happened. Heard reports later that about that time people in Canada cocked their heads, looked up, and queried, "What was THAT?" When I delivered what was left of the microwave oven to the recycling can at the curb, my nosey neighbor with the thick Chinese accent wandered over, looked, and said, "Oh, you wife try hard-boil egg in microwave, too, yes?" Proof that the concept of misery loving company transcends cultural boundaries, I guess.
