Answer: Option 1
Anything in a tight skin or shell can explode in a microwave because the water inside can expand and burst through. It is for this very reason that before microwaving, the skin of potatoes should be pricked, winter squash and similar vegetables should be cut in half, eggs should be taken out of shells and holes should be poked in the plastic wrap or sealed pouches of frozen packaged foods.
