A British girl has lost one of her eyes due to the wrong use of a microwave, according to the British newspaper "Sun".
Bethany Rosser, 22, was preparing breakfast as an egg exploded in her eye after taking her out of the microwave and began checking her for ripeness, burning the right side of her face and causing her to lose sight in her right eye.
Roser put the eggs in a kettle, submerged them and sprinkled some salt and then inserted them into the microwave for 6 minutes, according to instructions I read online indicate that boiling eggs in the microwave in this way is safe, but was surprised by the explosion of the egg in the face.
Roser said she had read at one location that she could boil eggs in the microwave for 6 to 8 minutes.
"While I was looking at the kettle to see if the eggs had matured or not, one suddenly exploded at me," she said.
Roser was at home alone when the incident happened, and doctors could not save her eye.
