    "Eggsplosion"

    My dad did this one time. I was really young and he was watching his favorite show late at night. My mom was not home. He wanted a late night snack so he went in the fridge and found a hard-boiled egg. He thought "ok why don't I just heat up this egg quickly in the microwave during the commercial break". Needless to say he was busy for a lot longer than the commercial break. Spent the next hour cleaning up after the egg explosion. It went in his eyes, hair, on the ceiling, everywhere.
    10 years later when we were repainting the kitchen we found pieces of egg still stuck on the ceiling. We still laugh about it to this day.

    I blew an egg on my face today.
    I had boiled two eggs, and after opening and eating the first it was undercooked. So I thought why not microwave the other one for 30 seconds instead of heating a whole pan of water again? So I put it in a mug with water over it, took it off, cracked the shell a bit, and realized it still wasn’t ready. So I put it back in the mug, but this time without water covering it since I had already pealed some of the shell. All looked fine, I took it off, held on my hand and it was hot, but I decided to poke the open part with a knife just to check if the yolk was finally cooked. That was when it finally happened...
    POP!
    It blew in my hand and bits of egg flew on my face, hair, shirt, and everywhere around the kitchen. I found bits of egg 3 meters away and even on the ceiling.
    I didn’t get hurt though. The worst part is that what remained in the shell on my hand didn’t even taste good. I gave the biggest chunks to my dog, he loved it, then I cleaned the rest of the mess.
    So now I’m here trying to understand what the hell happened. This video says that the pressure builds up to a point that the shell can’t hold it anymore, but that clearly wasn’t the case with me since I had already opened both the shell and the membrane before blowing it up. It was only when I poked a knife into it that it blew. I immediately remembered what happens when you microwave a glass of water and stir it after it is above boiling temperature, and suddenly all the water boils. That must have been it. And since moving the egg from the microwave didn’t trigger the reaction, I suppose it was because the semi solid state of the egg didn’t allow the water within it to move. So it was only when I poked it with a knife that I triggered a chain reaction...
    If anyone wants to try my recipe: egg in a small pan with water covering it, high flames for 8 minutes. Throw hot water away and put cold water over it to cool. Then egg in a mug with water covering, 30sec microwave, then another 30 sec without water. Have fun.

    Hey there! That theory should work out with raw eggs, but why do hard boiled eggs (without a shell) explode when cut?
    I thought about that for a little bit and it could be connected to nucleation points for boiling. Im unsure how it is testable tho, maybe by poking sand into the egg.
    Anyways, great video. Looking forward to some future vids on this topic if you‘re interested :)

    An boiled egg will explode even without the shell. Happened to me just now. So it has nothing to do with the shell that can't expand.
    Try it yourself. First boil the egg. Then let it cool down in the refrigerator. Then put it in the microwave without the shell.

Surely, it must be done popping and the eggs are ready. as soon as I pulled them out of the microwave, and set them on the counter, the eggs blew up in my face and made a fat mess in my kitchen and my shirt. i can't cook for the life of me

    I just tried this in my microwave not the shell though. I cracked an egg and put it in a cup of hot tap water and covered with a bit of kitchen roll which hits the sides of the microwave then just under 1:30 seconds probably about 8 seconds left to go the egg popped out of the cup and a little mess in microwave with the poached egg on the turn table, egg turned out hard inside has this ruined my microwave? I then tried a cup of coke water after that on 1:00 minute and the water was got enough to drink as i took a sip. Is my microwave ok? It is brand new. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

    Nice eggsplosion! Eggs are unpredictable, you don't know what you're going to get. If the white explodes first, you get a weak explosion where the egg just splits in half, if the yolk explodes first, you get a strong explosion, and if you get lucky (or rather unlucky) both the yolk and the white explode at the same time, you get a BOOMing explosion that bumps the door open.

    This just happened to me, I had three eggs boiling in water in the microwave and it exploded and broke my damn microwave. Didn’t know it did this. Lesson learned and plus my microwave is a over the range microwave so it’s gonna be expensive 😡😡😡

    My wife did this many years ago not knowing that it would explode. Our micro wave looked like someone put a hand grenade inside and closed the door. The door blew open, shattered the glass window of the door and shattered the inside of the micro oven. Had to throw it away.

    This is not correct. I have boiled an egg before and removed the eggshells. Then i reheat it in microwave, hoping it would not explode because i peeled off the eggshells. But to my surprise, it still exploded.

    My friend from church told me he put an egg in the microwave. And it exploded and knocked the door wide open. I didn't believe him... For years. Well I believe him now!
