How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in the Microwave?
If you want to boil your eggs in the microwave, here are some amazing tricks for you. Many people suggest not to boil in a Microwave at all.
However, my advice would be if you want to make Hard-boiled eggs in the microwave, follow either of the two tricks, that is, either you need to add salt to them, or you make poke holes.
Otherwise, the eggs may explode, making it all unclean and dirty mess.
How will You Boil Eggs in the Microwave?
Firstly, you need to find a microwave-safe bowl for yourself. Now, take the eggs and let them sit at the bottom of the bowl. Then, fill with hot water to a height of about 1/2 inch over the eggs.
Next, add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt per egg. This is an important step one should keep in mind to prevent the explosion of eggs.
The types of eggs you want and the methods
- To make soft boiled eggs with runny yolks, first microwave them. Next, take them out of the hot water and immerse them in the cold water as soon as possible.
- If you want to make medium-boiled eggs, first boil them in the microwave. Next, allow them to be in the water for a minute or so. Then, quickly put them in a bowl with ice water
- If you want hard-boiled eggs with firm yolks, let the eggs sit in hot water for 2-3 minutes after you are done with a microwave.
How to Properly Store the Boiled Eggs?
If you want to eat the boiled eggs right after boiling them, make them sit in the cold water for about two to three minutes. Then try to peel them off. Now you can eat them.
If you want the other way, storing them in the fridge so dry the boiled eggs properly. Store those dried, boiled eggs without peeling them, and try to store those in a zipper baggie with a paper towel. Do not forget to seal it up.
There is an interesting way, too, in case you still have the egg carton. Put the boiled eggs in the carton and store them. You can also mark the date on which they were boiled to use them within a proper time.
An important thing to be kept in mind is that Microwaves may differ, so one might need to experiment with one’s own microwave to know what time it works best. The above mentioned times are based on a 1500 watt microwave.
