Can I cook an egg in a microwave?

Answer 1

Yes, buy a microwave egg poacher (they cost about 20p).

They taste really nice actually, but remember to prick the yolk with a fork or it'll explode!

Answer 2

I cook a gorgeous scrambled egg in the microwave. Just crack 3 eggs into a jug (or similar), then add a touch of milk, mix up, then cook on full power and just keep stopping the microwave and giving them a good stir, 2 or 3 times, until they are fluffy and light. Absolutely Lovely.

Answer 3

Try placing the egg on a plate and putting the Microwave on High for 6 minutes. The egg will be well cooked.

Answer 4

Sure, just not in it's shell - it's not a myth. It will explode. If you don't want to get a new microwave and spend the day putting out the house fire, you can whisk the egg, put it in a non-stick, microwavable container and the egg will be cooked in a minute (or even less).

Answer 5

Not in the shell! Otherwise pierce the yolk. But why bother? Eggs don't take hours to cook, even using conventional methods.
I can make a passable Indian meal in 30 minutes in the microwave, whereas it would take about two hours conventionally. Don't do it often, but it's fine when you come home to find your partner has invited unexpected guests. I also have pre-cooked rice in the freezer. Three minutes in the microwave - sorted. (Adding a knob of butter helps)

Answer 6

Yes, in several different ways. The most common is to poach the egg in the microwave using water. You can cook a whole egg, but you need to carefully pierce the shell so it doesn't explode from the hot air building up inside.

Answer 7

I do this at work once in a while. You can get a microwave egg cooker (as seen on tv kind of thing) or use a paper cup (not wax or plastic). I'd micro it for a minute first,mix and again for about 20 sec until desired cooked level.

Answer 8

Don't just put an entire egg in the microwave, I knew someone who did this once. The egg exploded and the room stank of egg for days! You could scramble eggs in there though.

Answer 9

Yes. Crack it into a small bowl or teacup. I think it takes about 30 seconds to cook through. You end up with an egg that resembles a boiled egg without the shell. You could also scramble it up wiht some milk and butter and do scrambled eggs this way. Watch out though, air bubbles build up and you sometimnes get minor explosions of albumin...

Answer 10

Sometimes you can cook it in a microwave but it tastes disgusting.. and absolutetly no because the egg will be a toasted egg. You can only cook an egg in a Frying pan.. you can cook the bread in the microwave not an egg.....

Answer 11

yes...i cook scrambled eggs in the microwave all the time
