Dont try to microwave a whole egg in its shell

Prick egg yolks or items with tight skins such as potatoes, eggplants, sausages. It helps avoid an explosion. Dont try to microwave a whole egg in its shell! Dont use plastic wrap unless its designed for microwave, and even then, dont let it touch the food because of the possibility chemicals could be transferred into your food. Better yet, cover with another microwave proof dish or a microwave plate cover designed for that purpose.
