Per the website listed above - just scroll down farther to see the following description, as quoted below: " . . To use, simply place whole eggs into the little grooves of the interior perforated shelf (piercing not required), then screw on the top and cook. No more hot water and delicate maneuvering to keep the delicate goods intact! The plastic boiler is high-heat tolerant and goes conveniently into the dishwasher." HTH. Whether or not this particular product is good or not, that's something I'd not know never having used it. Nor have I ever used a MW to nuke eggs, period. So, YMMV :) Sky |

An aluminum shelf holds the eggs up out of the water. The top half is lined with aluminum, keeping the microwaves from reaching the eggs. The water in the bottom boils, and the steam comes up through small holes in the shelf; it's the heat of the steam that cooks the eggs. |

The bottoms of the baskets of our electric steamer have little depressions that you can set eggs in to steam-cook them. http://www.tefal.com/Cooking-applian...t/p/2820130131 (Ours is a slightly different model but the principle is the same.)

I took four eggs (total weight 263 grams) and a color-changing egg timer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yzr7VAeEvA) out of the fridge. Put them in a small pan with 564 grams of water to cover. Set over high heat on the smallest (Turkish coffee-pot) burner and started the stopwatch (00:00:00). At 09:24:31 one egg popped. At 10:08:59 we had boilage so I turned off the heat. At 17:40:75 the timer had turned completely yellow with no trace of pink left. Shelled the popped egg to check and see that it was completely hard-boiled. So I have to admit that 11 minutes in a microwave is pretty good time. -- Bob www.kanyak.com |

You appear to be one of the lucky ones. There are literally dozens of reviews on Amazon documenting exploding eggs and big messes to clean up. One reviewer said the explosion actually dented the inside of his microwave oven. Might not happen to evrybody, but it seems it happens to enough people not to be worth the risk. |

It was purely an experiment on his part. Circa 1973. It definitely exploded. I don't see much reason for trying to boil eggs in a microwave oven. Scrambled eggs are another subject. LOL Jill |

If you only put 562 grams of water, all hell would break loose inside the MW. You have to wonder, just how did they come up with such an exact number. 564 grams = 19.07 fluid ounces |

I'm a bachelor and I only cook real simple stuff from a package or warm something out of a can. Most of the time I just eat sandwiches. I only have a microwave, and dont plan to buy a stove. The house I last lived in, had one, and one of my pets turned the burner on, which started a stack of paper plates and a plastic bowl on fire that were sitting on the stove. Luckily I was home and put out the fire. This could have burned the house down. I hardly ever used the stove anyhow, so after the pet incident, I just shut the gas off to the stove, and never used it again. I'll never allow any open flame device in my house again. If I cant cook it in the MW, I'll live without it. This thread did confirm that boiling eggs wont work using a MW. Before I buy some special gadget, I'll just buy the preboiled eggs they sell at the convenience store. They cost more, but this was just a one time urge to eat some boiled eggs for easter. I just bought some of the preboiled ones, and ate them. I suppose I could boil them on my outdoor charcoal grill though, if I really wanted to. |

Eggs vary. Proper is to state, water to >cover the eggs. It wasn't intended to be a recipe. It was an experiment to see how much time it would take for a known weight of eggs and volume of water to come to a boil over a known heat source and produce hard-boiled eggs. (I know I should have measured the initial temperature of the water but I didn't have a thermometer handy. Hence the addition of "cold tap water" in my follow-up post.) I was somewhat surprised by the results. Based on them, I would have to go for the microwave method if I had to hardboil a lot of eggs. But I don't. And I also don't have a microwave. So for me it's back to "Put eggs from refrigerator in pan just large enough to hold them all. Add enough cold tapwater to cover the eggs. Do not cover the pan. Over medium-low heat slowly bring just to a boil. Turn off heat and cover the pan. Wait five minutes. Drain and douse eggs with cold water. YMMV." -- Bob www.kanyak.com |
