The microwave is, perhaps, one of the most popular assistants in the kitchen. It perfectly copes with the heating of the first dishes, a variety of side dishes and drinks. In addition, thermal exposure that microwaves have enough and for the preparation of some simple dishes. The latter and include boiled eggs. How fast and most importantly safe to cook in the microwave eggs?
How to cook in microwave egg without shell
This cooking technology received another name "dry", since it does not require water use. The method is not only the fastest, but also safe. To prepare boiled eggs you will need:
- 2 Capacities (allowed to use in a microwave) - Plates, small pots, silicone molds
- Egg
- Butter
- Food film or paper for baking
So, come to cook.
- Take the prepared containers and lubricate them with butter.
- Gently break the egg. Separate the yolk from the protein. To do this, overflow the contents from one part of the shell to another until all proteins are in the prepared plate, and in the eggshell - all yolks.
- Pouring the yolk into the second plate.
- Next, it is necessary to disrupt the integrity of the film covering the yolk. To do this, pour it with a toothpick, a needle or a knife. The film seems fine enough, but its strength can be enough to make an increased pressure during the cooking of the film under the cover of the film and a banal explosion occurred.
- Each of the tanks cover with a film or special baking paper. If neither the film, no paper, use the glass cover at hand. An important point - a film or paper should not touch the contents of the plate.
- In order not to digest proteins, install a small (low or medium) power level. The cooking time is 30-60 seconds. It is better to remove the proteins when they are still slightly undercooked - the egg on their own, "come" to the desired consistency.
- For the other component of the egg - yolk - time cooking and less than 20-30 seconds. Power is also installed on the bottom or the middle mark.
During the preparation of several eggs at the same time, the duration of microwave exposure increases. However, do not forget to pause during the preparation of every 30 seconds.

- Adding water to the dishes. This should be done carefully so that the product is not turned down the hole and its contents spilled.
- The water may be at room temperature or just a boiling (the cooking process so markedly reduced).
- The resulting water layer above the eggs should not be less than 1-1.5 cm.
- Add salt and send the dishes into the microwave.
- Power microwave exposure set at a low level. Preparation takes about 10 minutes - if the water was warm and the order of 3-5 minutes - if you put the eggs in boiling water.
- After cooking remove ware from the microwave, pour hot water and cold water fill eggs.
