Everyday Basics

Boiled Egg

Eggs cooked in their shells in a microwave oven can, and often do, explode due to the build up of internal pressure. However, by following the instructions given here, you can boil an egg successfully. Just take care to use foil as instructed below.

Ingredients:
1 x 60 g	egg
1/2 cup	hot water
	aluminium foil

Method:

Wrap egg totally in aluminium foil. There should be no egg showing. Place egg in a 1-cup glass jug with 1/2 cup hot water. Cook on HIGH

—for soft boiled 4 to 5 minutes —for hard boiled 5 to 6 minutes.

Allow to stand in the cooking water 2 minutes for soft boiled and 5 minutes for hard boiled before serving.

Tip: While microwaving boiled eggs does not save you time, it does save you electricity and, best of all, washing up. All you have to do if you want more than one egg, is use a larger dish, more water (say, Two cups) and cook a little longer (an extra 2 to

4 minutes).
