Can eggs be safely cooked in the microwave?
• Spray a small dish or mug with cooking spray or place ½ teaspoon (2 mL) butter or margarine in the dish and heat in the microwave for a few seconds. Rotate the dish so the melted butter coats all sides. • Crack an egg into the dish. Pierce the yolk with a fork or toothpick. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, pulling back one corner to allow for venting. • Microwave on Medium-High (70% power) for 45 seconds to 1 minute. (Cooking time and power level will very depending on the power of the microwave.) The egg should be undercooked slightly as it will continue to cook as it stands. Let stand for one minute before removing plastic wrap.
