There was pressure with the lid and things are heated higher than usual.
Water can exceed 212 nd oil/fat can even be higher. If there was a
blob of superheated fat under the meat and it mixed with the water,
there could be an eruption. Similar to what sometimes happens with
water in a microwave. Believe what you want, but the laws of physics can
make things like that happen. .
