Boiled Egg
Eggs cooked in their shells in a microwave oven
can, and often do, explode due to the build up of
internal pressure. However, by following the
instructions given here, you can boil an egg
successfully. Just take care to use foil as instructed
below.
Ingredients:
1 egg (medium size)
1
/ cup hot water
2
aluminium foil
Method:
Wrap egg totally in aluminium foil. There should be
no egg showing. Place egg in a 1-cup (250 ml) glass
jug with 1/2 cup (125 ml) hot water. Cook on HIGH
—For soft boiled 4 to 5 minutes—For hard boiled
—5 to 6 minutes. Allow to stand in the cooking
water 2 minutes for soft boiled and 5 minutes for
hard boiled before serving.
Tip: While microwaving boiled eggs does not save
you time, it does save you electricity and, best of all,
washing up. All you have to do if you want more
than one egg, is use a larger dish, more water (say,
Two cups) and cook a little longer (an extra 2 to
4 minutes).
