I've made microwaved hard-boiled eggs exactly twice. The first time they came out perfectly. The second time they exploded with so much force the door blew open, despite me doing everything exactly the same. I will never microwave eggs again, but I'm happy for your success

I do it frequently, but I open the egg and put its contents to teamug and microwave that. I can put multiple eggs in a single mug. This way I don't have to mess with hot shell, and I won't burn my fingers.

I was told that the trick is to not have the egg in its shell.
Take a cup, fill it one third with water, then crack your egg in the cup. Now it can't build up pressure, it can't explode.
It microwaved without exploding. As I took it out of the microwave, it exploded. It went everywhere. The floor, the ceiling, every cabinet door. I count myself lucky that I didn't get boiling hot egg in my eyes.
Also, the noise attracted attention from everybody in the house, no way to just discretely clean it up before anyone noticed my stupid experiment.

Will do! I thought an alien chestbuster figure would fit perfectly on top of the egg. -

Isn’t that just a microwaved egg?

I don’t want to alarm you, but do not approach the egg lest a tiny face hugger will jump out at you

Will this work with soft boiling? (I would think so but might be hard to get the timing right?)

Yes, but set the timer for a bit shorter time. I had to play a bit to find the best timing on my microwave

That sounds like superheated water to me. When you heat water in a microwave it can reach temperatures above 100C without boiling, if you disturb the water in that state it boils instantly and explodes.

Isn't that just poached eggs?

Microwaves have "hotspots". They usually have a rotating platter inside, to expose the contents more evenly to it. Smaller things, can cook differently depending on placement.

Oh, it can. I tried this, just without water.

The shell is good for you but I advise chewing thoroughly.

I use that trick to make scrambled eggs. Need to add a bit of water, and for some reason, a dash of vinegar, top it with a paper towel.
