salt, pinch to taste
 
Method
  • Sprinkle a few grains of salt in the bottom of the egg cooker. This helps to cook the egg evenly. Break one egg into egg cooker. Microwave one egg at a time, or adjust your cooking time accordingly. With a fork, pierce yolk and white to bottom of egg cooker several times. Piercing is necessary to prevent "exploding" during cooking. Place lid on cooker base, lining up notches. Twist to secure. Pop into microwave.
  • For Soft-Cooked Eggs: Microwave on HIGH (100%) for 30 seconds, or on MEDIUM (50%) for 50 seconds. If still undercooked, turn egg over and microwave for another 10 seconds, or until cooked. Let stand for 10 seconds before removing egg from egg cooker.
  • For Hard-Cooked Eggs: Microwave on HIGH (100%) for 40 seconds. Let stand for 30 seconds before removing egg from egg cooker.
Notes
Never cook an egg in its shell in the microwave; it will explode. Cooking times will vary depending on microwave oven cavity-size, wattage and desired consistency of yolk. Times provided are for a 1000-watt microwave oven. Increase time slightly for lower wattage; decrease for higher wattage. Start with shortest time and increase in 10 second intervals. Note the time that works best for your microwave oven. Cooking times will also vary if more than one egg is cooked at a time. Please refer to our recipes for using two Microwave Egg Cookers in one microwave, and for two eggs in one Microwave Egg Cooker. Times given are for large eggs. The egg cooker works best with large eggs. Wash egg cooker thoroughly with hot soapy water; rinse and dry. Egg cooker is safe to use in both dishwasher and microwave. DO NOT use in convection microwave oven set to convection mode. Always crack egg into microwave-safe container and pierce yolk and white several times or whisk before cooking in microwave.
