Whereas chickpeas have firm, non-porous outer husks.
Whereas chickpeas have high moisture content within.
Whereas microwave ovens excited water molecules more efficiently than anything else.
Whereas heated water expands and steams, pushing outward material around it.
Whereas a steaming chickpea tends to crackle and pop.
Whereas conventional ovens are perfectly capable of heating delicious foods without massive messes.
Whereas pots are dishwasher safe, while microwaves are hard to fit into a dishwasher.
Finally, whereas once is enough to learn our lesson.
Therefore, let us resolve to not place a plate of uncovered chickpeas in the microwave, regardless of how much time we may believe we'll be saving. Let us further resolve to just take a sharpie and cross off any references to the microwave oven.
