Hi, Carl. You can't cook eggs in shell in the microwave - they'll explode. You can, however, bake them in a ramekin or a cup. A spoonful of water in the cup, break the egg into the cup, pierce the yolk with a cocktail stick or toothpick. Whizz in the m/wave for 30 secs or until the white is almost all cooked then turn off the m/wave and leave to stand a minute until the residual heat in the egg has cooked the rest of the white. You may need less or more time than 30 secs depending on the size of the egg - play it by ear (or eye in this case). It produces what at home we called a "pretend poached egg".Hi, y'all.
Is there any way to cook soft-boiled eggs in a microwave? I asked Mom and Cat, and they don't know. I have a microwave and a toaster in our dorm room. We can't have hot plates/burners because some idiots cooked drugs on them and they're also a fire hazard.
I know how to make them on a regular stove. They're really good with shredded-up toast and all mixed together in a bowl with salt and pepper.
Any ideas? Thanks, y'all.
Carl
I know you wrote this a long time ago but yes, they can pop and splutter but you only need to pierce the yolk with a toothpick, cake testing skewer pinted knife. You don't need to totally destroy the yolk/white delineation by stirring, etc..I have been told that if the yolk isn't broken, the eggs can go boom.
I usually make an omelette. Whisk an egg lightly with about a teaspoon of water and nuke it for 60 seconds on high. Don't salt it before nuking. It supposedly makes the egg tough.
But then it isn't an omelette.I know you wrote this a long time ago but yes, they can pop and splutter but you only need to pierce the yolk with a toothpick, cake testing skewer pinted knife. You don't need to totally destroy the yolk/white delineation by stirring, etc..
But my reply wasn't about omelettes. I was answering the poster's comment that "I have been told that if the yolk isn't broken, the eggs can go boom".But then it isn't an omelette.
