[Eng] How to make Fried Eggs in Microwave

[mattheweppley]

This worked perfectly for me (40 seconds in a higher-power microwave) as I was a guest at someone's house and couldn't find their frying pan. Your method saved me time and trouble. Thank you so much! :-)

Here's my situation where this method saved my breakfast. I have portable mini skillet that plugs in so I brought eggs to work in the morning to quickly whip up some fried eggs. However, I completely forgot my skillet at home so I just have these eggs that I can't cook now. Thankfully my work has a microwave so I had this idea and this video helped me EGGSecute it! (sorry)

I get to work at 4am so it's hard for me to wake up and make breakfast at home usually so I like little hacks like this.

I gave this a try and here's my experiences. I have an 1000 watt microwave (didn't even know I had one until now), and the time I found best was 40 seconds covered with a bowl like in the video. I tried 35 secs and it left a bit of clear liquid from the egg whites. Also, I tried not using any oil and for the most part, the entire egg comes off the plate and onto the toast with only a tiny bit of residue left on the plate. Lastly, I tried using the same plate and bowl to be lazy about it and it works out, just need to rinse them between each egg that gets heated up. My last tip would be to watch out with the salt, it's very easy to ruin the eggs once you add too much or a lot in one concentrated spot.

Went with the fried option, worked perfectly. Thanks!

I tried it earlier, I can say microwave cooking is better that the pan with oil.😂

전자렌지로 이렇게 쉽게 계란후라이가 가능했다니 놀랍네요 ㅎㅎ 팬 불조절하기 귀찮았는데 꿀팁배워갑니다~

Worked reasonably well for me. Since I have no idea what W my microwave has, I've put the egg inside for 60 seconds at 4/5 strength.
Egg turned out fine, but despite stabbing 10 holes in the yolk it still made a small mess. Will have to test it out again with a cover of some sort.

Well thank you I'm trying to learn how to cook an egg and I did not want to watch it 10 minute video you are awesome

Finally someone with the common sense for saying the watt along with time.

[MattKimura]

Thank you, Joon! If I did this blindly I would have not used oil or poked holes, and the time would have been a mystery. It would have been a complete disaster!

Such a delicious egg! Very quick and good way !

I’ve microwaved eggs 100s of times and the splatter that happens time after time is real - it gets everywhere inside the microwave. The buildup looks horrendous and requires deep cleaning as the debris really gets stuck on due to the heat. Best to poach eggs instead or pop eggs like this with an opened but fully covered lid, or stop and start in 10 sec intervals. Jamey Oliver tips right here.

[cajunsushi]

I have instant oatmeal with a raw egg in the middle that’s microwaved for around 2.5 minutes.

The yolk on my egg popped while it was in the microwave, though still delicious!

I thought about doing this and I came to YT to see if it was possible
Thanks for the tips and time

Is it possible to cook the egg and still have a soft yoke? After 45 seconds my yoke is like a hard boiled egg.
