Steaming egg custard in a microwave oven will explode because the water encapsulated in the solidified egg liquid, generated by the water vapor when boiling, props up the solidified egg liquid, thus generating an explosion. When using the microwave oven to steam egg custard, you can reduce the power of the microwave oven appropriately, so that the egg custard from the inside out, slowly heated.

And microwave cooking eggs can also explode, this is because the eggs are heated from the inside out, the heat generated by the eggs themselves, touching the closed eggshell, with more and more heat and can not be released, resulting in an explosion.

Microwave oven explosion prevention precautions

2, some fruits contain salt ions, in the microwave oven under the vibration, will produce a strong electric field, such as grapes, blueberries, saints fruit, etc., into the microwave oven is likely to trigger an explosion.
