result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care
must be taken when handling the container.
13. Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard
boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode even after micro-
wave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs
which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce
