Can eggs be cooked in the microwave?
Eggs can be cooked quickly and successfully in a microwave oven; however they should NEVER be cooked in their shells in a microwave oven as pressure will build up inside the shell and the egg may burst either inside the oven or on removal from the oven. When broken out of the shell, eggs can be cooked in a microwave, but first remember to prick the yolk. See our pdf ‘Easy Eggs’ for microwave egg recipes.
