The final detail to this story. When you cook vegetables, the water inside heats up and turns to steam. Which has a tremendously higher volume than the liquid water that existed at room temperature. So when you roast or microwave vegetables, you have to poke a few holes in them so they don't explode. If there aren't many holes or the vegetable is particularly hot in a certain spot, the vegetable may start whistling loudly.
