[G.M.]

In the early 60s a manufacture of fans and small appliances asked me to take a prototype micro oven home for the weekend to evaluate it and see what I thought about it. Saturday morning I decided I would make some soft boiled eggs. I put a couple in the micro wave and pushed the button and in 2 seconds they exploded. There wasn't anything that looked like an egg and no trace of shells. This oven had a small mesh stainless steel screen over the glass and took 2 or 3 hours with a tooth brush to clean it. G.M.
