Recipe for Exploding Eggs

Here is my favorite new recipe for exploding hard-boiled eggs.
Place two eggs in saucepan with egg timer. Fill pan with water and place on stovetop at medium-high heat. Now go upstairs for about 45 minutes, forgetting eggs completely.
Let eggs continue boiling until the water all evaporates and the bottom of the pan begins to burn. At this point, Kevin will say to Grace: Did you hear that popping sound? Is somebody downstairs?
Cry: Oh, my eggs! I completely forgot.
Be sure to time this exclaimation precisely as the smoke detector goes off. Voila! Your eggs are done. Now run downstairs to see the results. Note the nice hole burned through your egg timer and the charred black layer burned into the bottom of your pan. For an added touch, try to get the force of the exploding eggs to knock the pan off the burner so a large clump of hard-boiled yolk lands on the burner, sending sulfery smoke bombs throughout your kitchen.
After making certain that no permenant damage has been done, laugh and take pictures.



The stovetop with the burner off and the smoke bomb put out.
