Comment on this Story | Printer Friendly | | Send Story to a Friend | Top Which foods go "boom" when microwaved? Some foods "explode" in the microwave due to trapped steam. Eggs, butter, and margarine have internal water that, when microwaved, turns to steam and splatters the food all over the inside of the oven. It is imperative to cover these foods well when microwaving. Comment on this Story | Printer Friendly | | Send Story to a Friend | Top When did Mortimer become Mickey?
