Explanation:

Question 3

When cooking a potato in a microwave, piercing the skin allows steam to escape. Without piercing, the pressure from steam can build up and cause the potato to explode. So the statement is true.

Microwaves heat food by agitating water molecules, which makes them good for reheating or cooking moist foods. However, they don't make foods like bread or pizza crisp because they don't remove moisture effectively like dry heat (e.g., oven, toaster) does. So the statement is false.

High - grade eggs are of good quality. They should have no cracks (as cracks can lead to contamination or spoilage) and a firm yolk (a sign of freshness and good quality). So the statement is true.

Answer:

True
