Explain why an egg will explode if you heat it too much?

Answer 1

believe it or not an egg has a porous shell. (stuff can go through or come out of the shell) if u heat an egg too fast at a high temp then any moisture within the shell starts to literally boil which produces a much larger volume of steam from the evaporating water within. Too much pressure and BOOM!!! If u cook eggs at a lower temp it allows the stuff inside the egg to cook and any excess pressure will be allowed to escape the porous shell as well as water from cooking can enter within the egg while cooking/cooling so as to not have a dry egg. Just think of those pickled eggs u may have seen in a rustic bar somewhere. Just a boiled egg in its shell in a jar of sweet beet pickle juice and let sit to marinate and soak up the pickle brine all through the shell of the egg. Hope this answers good enuf.
