How nice to know ....Karen....that I am not the only one who has exploded eggs. Aren't they a pain to scrape off the ceiling?????

Sounds like I may be just one teensy step ahead of you in the kitchen department, Sara.

Not boiling them 12 minutes will also help with the gray/green.

I was thinking the same thing, Barbara. But I have to wait until tonight to peel them to see how they turned out. Will let you know.

I actually made them because I found a yummy chicken salad sandwich recipe. I never thought of putting eggs in my chicken salad, but it makes it nice and creamy like - yummy!

Marmite is Marmite and everyone in the UK loves it. And Vegemite is Vegemite and everyone in NZ loves it. And no it isn't like marmalade

This is one of the funniest threads in a long time. I don't know what to think of the fact that two of my closest worldwide freinds are in the same small group of egg-exploders

Does a potato exploder count? In my brand new oven, a few years ago, I put in baking potatoes and for some horrible reason I forgot to poke them. Next thing I heard were EXPLODING POTATOES in my new oven

Nightmare! Exploding potatoes??? Oooo, I've never done that! At least the oven must have confined the spray! Much as I hate cleaning the oven, it is probably marginally better than scrubbing the ceiling ... and the walls ... and the windows ... and the doors ...

Okay....truth time....I've done the exploding eggs TWICE! The first time I put them on to boil and went to take a shower. On the way to the shower I spied a book I was reading. Sat down to read a bit. Finally went to shower. Wondered about the firecrackers I was hearing....but it was 4th of July weekend so..... Got out of the shower. Read a bit more. Was thirsty. Went to the kitchen for a glass of water.....smoke and egg bits everywhere.

The second time the mess was not so bad.....but the smell was. Since then I do not leave the kitchen area while boiling eggs....

This is Marmite for you! I use to hate it, but love it now - spread thinly on toast.
