Actually food can explode in a uWave. I knew somebody who was doing a haggis for
a dinner party - after 5 hourss itr was sitting in the saucepan in some horrible
fatty water not looking very cooked so she decided to give it a quick turn in
the old uWave. In it went and started cooking - about 1 minute later it suddenly
shrunk to the size of a tennis ball (quite impressivce for a haggis) and then
violently exploded leaving haggis entrails all over the uWave.

Tjis sounds more like the behaviour of a neutron star than an object of
food. Anbody cot any ideas as to why it conracted before exploding ?
