Items You Should Never, Ever Place in a Microwave

Eggs

If you don’t know by now, the rapid heat will produce a lot of steam underneath the shell. Since it won’t have any release, it will explode. It won’t necessarily destroy your microwave, but the clean-up will be a hassle. If you are determined to hard-boil eggs in a microwave, poke a little hole on top so the steam can escape from the egg.
