My mother did that, it took a lot of cleaning afterwards.

I think it's because the shell is sealed. even microwaving in containers, 
they tell you to leave a space for venting.  I have a microwave bowl with 
a nice lid that fits tight, and if I forget to take it off once the water 
in the Kraft Dinner or rice has gotten up to boiling, chances are good the 
lid will be ejected off the bowl, and some of the water inside the bowl 
that forced the lid off will end up all over the microwave oven.
