I actually DO use a microwave. I put the rodents into a plastic bag with most/all of the air removed, then put the plastic bags into a microwave safe container full of water. I put a glass lid on top to hold the rodents under the water, then nuke at 20% power. Time varies depending on the number/size of the rodents. I haven't had any explode/rupture, but I have cooked a few.
