      I have never made an explosion in the lab. Explosions are very dangerous and need to be carefully controlled and should always be made by professional adults.

      You should be careful if you put an egg in the microwave. Eggs have a membrane around them and this can lead to a large amount of pressure inside the membrane when put in a microwave. I once did this and made an explosion. This explosion is very powerful and very dangerous so don’t try it!

      I haven’t blown up anything. Just a potato in the oven once.
