While in College in the late 60's a friend loaned us one of the very first (?) microwaves out on the market to play with. It did not have a glass door, but a perforated metal screen door! Needless to say some of my idiot roommates, tried to microwave a raw egg in it, & I can personally verify that said egg did in fact explode & send the egg material thru the perforations & over the entire kitchen in its blast path. YMMV, Mr. BZ-can you spell hurtlocker?
