I think the trick is to take the shell off first. And prick the yolk with a needle if cooking in a microwave. Have had eggs explode in the microwave when I didn’t do this. Usually don’t need to prick an egg if poaching it in the open so to speak.
It’s more of a problem with an egg that’s not quite fresh as the natural air pocket inside is bigger. Also maybe 10 secs too long in microwave? That was the mistake I made the last time I had an eggsplosion.

Oh the egg was out of its shell sitting in some water in a mug.
It worked a couple of times but one time the egg white exploded all over the inside of the microwave.
Not sure if it was because it built up too much heat and caused a hot air pocket to form.
Yoke was still intact though.
