Today I learned you can cook raw egg in the microwave... no more of this using a pan business for me, my life will never be the same!

@freemo *Eyes the calendar*. I'm not sure it's 1 April at the moment.

@trinsec Seriously it works, and the egg isnt bad at all... my life will never be the same!

@freemo *Eyes the other comments* Oh.. you could've clarified sooner. :P So not raw egg intact in its shell, but raw egg put in something else, shell already gone?

Yeah, that would work fine.

@trinsec yea you crack the egg first... I see what you mean you cant do a hardboiled type egg like this, it would just explode. Though perhaps if you vented the shell you could do it in the shell, but no not what id try personally.

@freemo Yeah, that'd explode. I once saw a gadget in a Blokker that claims that you can make a hardboiled egg in the microwave. Basically it was just another type of shell to go around your egg. I thought, huh, lemme try that. It didn't work and I returned that dumb gadget. ;) Thankfully it exploded inside there, so the microwave was still clean. Still a dumb thing lol.

@trinsec I have a special device (basically a steamer) if i want hard boiled eggs.

You could of course just crack and egg in a tiny bowl, not mix it, and microwave it and effectively get a plain cooked egg. Only difference between microwaving in a shell, aside from the explosion, would be the shape.

Thing is I dont think any gadget will get a microwave egg to have the consistency of a hard boiled one, they come out more like a pan fried one, which tends to be slightly aerated.

So yea, if you really want it hard boiled style I dont think any amount of magic will get that from a microwave.
