Forget using the stove! Make delicious hard boiled eggs in the microwave - safe, easy and fun!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Microwave
  • Microwave Egg Cooker
  1. Step 1

    Get a microwave egg cooker! They can be found on amazon and many other sales sites, search for "microwave egg." I use the Nordic Ware 4-Cavity Egg Boiler I purchased on amazon for less than $10.

  2. Step 2

    Get your eggs to room temperature! If you don't they have a tendency to break in the microwave and not cook all the way.

  3. Step 3

    Fill the base with water up to the marker - use basic room temperature tap water.

  4. Step 4

    Put on the egg tray, insert eggs and stick in the microwave.

  5. Step 5

    The toughest part is getting the timing down. My microwave takes about 9 minutes on high, others can be higher or lower and it will take a couple of times to test out yours.

  6. Step 6

    Carefully remove from microwave and run under cool water. Make sure to use a towel or mittens so you don't burn your hand.

  7. Step 7

    Unpeel and enjoy! Yum!!!
