utensils

  • 2 ceramic or glass plates
  • 1 Glass container with water

Ingredients

  • 1 unity egg You can increase the number of eggs as needed.
  • salt to taste

Instructions

How to cook a "boiled" egg in the microwave:
  • Step 1: Before putting the egg in the microwave, you should first make two very small holes in the egg so that it doesn't break while it's in the microwave.
  • Step 2: Then place the egg in the container of water so that the egg is submerged.
    Extra Tip: If the egg doesn't stay submerged, but floats (on the surface of the water), it means that the egg is spoiled.
  • Step 3: Then place the container in the microwave at maximum power, in the case of my microwave, the maximum power is 800w, and set the timer for 3 minutes.
    Extra Tip: If the microwave has a different power, set the timer proportionally, for example if the maximum power is 400w, then you should set the timer for 6 minutes, since it has half the power, and so on.
  • Step 4: When the microwave has finished, open the door and remove the container with gloves or a cloth, be careful as it is very hot.
  • Step 5: Place the container on a table or worktop and remove the egg with a large spoon so you don't burn yourself.
  • Step 6: Then rinse the egg so that it cools down and remove the shell.
    Once you've removed the shell, your hard-boiled egg is ready to eat!
How to cook "Fried" Egg Boiled in the Microwave:
  • Step 1: Carefully crack the egg and place it on the plate, just as you would in the frying pan.
  • Step 2: Adding salt to the egg to taste is optional, as those who don't like salt in their eggs should do as they like.
  • Step 3: Take the second plate, turn it upside down and place it on top of the other plate, so that the egg is sealed between the two plates.
  • Step 4: Place the egg dishes in the microwave, set the power to maximum (in my case 800w) and set the timer for 45 seconds.
  • Step 5: When the microwave is finished, carefully remove the plate as it will be very hot.
  • Step 6: Take the plate to a counter or table, then remove the plate from above and place the fried egg on the plate where you will be eating your meal.
