This increases the&nbsp;<strong>internal egg pressure<\/strong>. Imagine a balloon inflating rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now think about&nbsp;<strong>eggshell<\/strong>&nbsp;like the skin of a balloon. If the pressure gets too high and there's nowhere for it to go, it ends up rupturing the eggshell. Yes, that's right! The egg explodes and makes a big mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can happen when you cook the egg for too long or if you use too high a power setting in the microwave. Therefore, you need to be careful with the time and power used when cooking eggs in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Casca_imperfeita_ou_sem_furos\">Imperfect bark or no holes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An imperfect eggshell or one without holes significantly increases the chances of a microwave explosion. This is because, without the holes, there is no outlet for the increased pressure that occurs during heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the&nbsp;<strong>internal pressure becomes too high<\/strong>, a&nbsp;<strong>bark can't stand it and ends up exploding<\/strong>.

You can do this simply by removing the shell before putting the eggs in the appliance.
