The 45-second egg

Below is some French-designed microwaveable egg cooker I acquired from Draeger's for about $8. It's designed for cooking a single egg, but I'm going to experiment with it "because it's there".

Normally one just cracks a large egg and empties yolk and albumen into the cooker. Don't forget to pierce the yolk with a fork, toothpick, ball point pen, etc.

Screw on the lid, pop it into the microwave, and cook it on HIGH for 45 seconds. Take it out, screw off the lid, and admire your (hopefully) hard-boiled creation. You may need to add/subtract seconds based on how powerful your microwave is.

It's simple to use, there isn't any oil/grease/PAM added, and it's simple to clean. I think it may be my new housewarming gift to friends who have neither an aversion nor allergy to eggs.

Microwave egg cookers

Behold the misadventures of some egg enthusiasts and their microwaves...

abab: HEY!
abab: HAVE YOU EVER DONE 2 EGGS IN THE COOKER AT ONCE?
abab: YA, DEF CUT THE SODA FROM YOUR DIET. IT'S SOOO UNHEALTHY!!
GP: I haven't tried...
GP: I was really good this a.m.
GP: 45-sec egg...only ate the albumen and chucked the yolk
GP: :->
abab: WHY CAN'T YOU JUST SAY 'THE WHITE' FOR US NON-SCIENTIFIC PPL?
abab: LOL
abab: :))
GP: I remember a joke/brain teaser...
GP: where it got you to spell a bunch of 4-letter words
GP: and then the last thing to spell was "the white of an egg"...
GP: I got it correct, but I could see how they were trying to get me to spell yolk
GP: haha
GP: :-b
abab: lol
abab: i'm taking a chance
abab: 2 eggs at 55 seconds
abab: w/ a splash of soy sauce
abab: kekeke..
GP: :-ss
abab: lol.. ya.. adding 30 sec now
GP: so you punctured the eggs?
abab: ya.
abab: ok.. here are my findings.
abab: #1, cooker really is designed for 1 egg
GP: Let's design a 2-egger!
GP: haha
abab: #2, adding 30 sec to the 55 was a lil too much
abab: #3 adding soy made it look really ugly/nasty, but tasted pretty good
abab: well.. i think you could do 2 eggs... it's alil full tho... is the only thing
GP: haha
GP: you should write an egg blog
abab: lol!
abab: no time..
abab: you try it, then you write it!
abab: :))
