How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in the Microwave
Forget using the stove! Make delicious hard boiled eggs in the microwave - safe, easy and fun! Does this Spark an idea?
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.

Unpeel and enjoy! Yum!!!
