Instructions

    • 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

      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

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

    • 4

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

    • 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

      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

      Unpeel and enjoy! Yum!!!
