Eggs do explode

So this AM, I was making hard-boiled  eggs for egg salad.  Had my trusty hot plate and my rachel ray tiny pot.  (Btw, the color on the pot changes after u use it, especially at high temps).  Checked the date on the egg carton, all was well, covered the eggs w water and put them on my trusty hot plate to bring to a boil.  Mind was elsewhere, don’t know how much time had gone by.  Heard these noises, thought it was Lovie, called out to her.  More time went by.  Finally walked into the kitchen.  What a mess.  Will be quite awhile before I eat eggs again!
