By why do eggs explode - 12/10/2015 21:35 - Canada - Calgary

Today, while I was in the shower, my 4 year-old son wondered what would happen if he put 6 eggs in the microwave. FML

Sounds like a great opportunity to teach him to clean a microwave.

The wonder of having small kids.. Good luck with that clean up!

I take it he did more than just wonder.

Why six? Still it's a simple point of somehow it cooks from the inside out your name is no longer a question

They don't cook from the inside out- that is a common misconception. The water within the egg heats and expands, and as the holes in the shell (and membrane, once it solidifies) are not large enough to vent the steam quickly enough, the pressure reaches the point that the egg ruptures. Basic science. The fact that people honestly believe that microwaves cook things from the inside out is very alarming.

Anyone whose bitten into food with a warm outside and cold inside would know that. Trolling level microwave

There where probably six left in the package.

Talk out the scientific process with him. As well as science safety! But don't crush his curiosity. Test me many children now a days lack it.
