The microwave is mainly used for a warming up of already ready food. But there is a set of dishes which it is possible quite simply to prepare and quickly by means of this furnace. To cook eggs in the microwave — not the best idea, it is safer and more convenient to use after all for preparation of this product other, more traditional methods. But answering a question whether it is possible to cook eggs in the microwave, having avoided at the same time explosion, we will answer — it is possible. And further in article we will tell how to make it.
Precautionary measures
It should be noted that if not to observe appropriate security measures at preparation of this product in the microwave, not to avoid a sad outcome in the form of explosion.
It is not necessary to stand near the microwave in preparation time, it is recommended to depart from it on safe distance. There were cases when the blown-up product broke furnace door glass, and it can do harm to your health.
It is important to pick up and adjust the power of the microwave oven correctly. If to be overzealous, the product will blow up. It is better to spend a little more time for cooking, but to expose weaker mode.
It is important! After eggs are ready, them it is necessary very accurately to get and allow to cool down. It is possible to shift them in cold water, but it is necessary to be extremely careful as the product can blow up even after the end of cooking (only when hot).
How to cook egg in the microwave
It is possible to prepare this ingredient in the microwave oven both in a shell, and without it. The second option safer and easy, but also requires attention to details. How to cook eggs in the microwave in a shell, we will tell further.
With a shell
Before hard-boiling eggs in the microwave, it is necessary to prepare the correct tanks for cooking. It can be either special heat resisting forms, or a usual bowl from material which can be used in the microwave.
It is important! Remember that ware from metal (even with a metal border), crystal, plastic disposable tableware it is impossible to put in the microwave at all.
Accurately we spread eggs in capacity in one layer, we try not to damage a shell at the same time.
We fill in a product with water so that over it there were about one more centimeter of water. If eggs are not completely covered with liquid, then during cooking will blow up. To accelerate cooking process, it is possible to fill in hot water in capacity.
We add a salt tablespoon to water. It will help to avoid explosion and ready eggs will be easier shelled.
Now it is necessary to choose the power mode correctly. At the average level of egg from 6 to 12 minutes will be preparing, on high — duration of cooking will be reduced. If they were filled in with hot water, there will be enough 3–6 minutes. To make soft-boiled eggs, it is better to choose a little weak mode. A lot of things depend on the microwave so it is necessary to experiment.
Whether you know? The record on eating of eggs was set up in 1910 by the resident of the State of Pennsylvania (USA) who at breakfast ate 144 eggs in the raw.
It is necessary to get and leave ready eggs to cool down. It is possible to merge hot water and to fill in a product cold. So they will also cool down quicker, and the shell will be easier to be cleaned. But you remember at the same time precautionary measures.
Without shell
Now we will understand how to make eggs in the microwave without shell. This method is safer. It is recommended to cook separately egg yolks and whites. It is necessary that to receive evenly prepared product. The fact is that egg whites and yolks have the different level of viscosity and if to prepare everything together, then it is possible to receive half-cooked protein and the digested rubber yolk.
Whether you know? Ancient Egyptians cooked egg in very interesting way. They wrapped it in I will forgive, and then as fast as possible it twirled. So the product was warmed and preparing. Was considered that thus it was light-boiled.
Two small tanks will be necessary for preparation. It is necessary to grease them with a small amount of oil, using for this purpose a paper towel or a napkin.
Accurately separate the yolks from the whites. Pour out proteins in one bowl, yolks — in another.
The yolk should be pierced a toothpick, a tip of a knife or a fork. The fact is that the thin film which constrains a yolk creates when heating pressure inside, the yolk begins to boil and as a result can blow up, having soiled the microwave.
Therefore it is necessary to give the chance to steam freely to leave. It is not obligatory to cut at the same time a yolk, it is possible to puncture it accurately, without having allowed it to spread, and it will keep the form.
Surely we cover each of bowls with food wrap which can be pierced a skewer too. You watch that the film did not concern some food at all.
It is possible to put tanks in the microwave and to prepare. It is very easy to digest eggs in such conditions therefore it is recommended to cook them short periods, opening the furnace and checking their readiness. Having been accustomed, further it will be simpler to train them as you will already know features of the microwave oven.
Important! Proteins are recommended to be got from the furnace when they look a little not got prepared. Egg whites have be cooked longer property under the influence of the temperature even after you take away them from the furnace.
Let's give approximate time during which average chicken egg whites and yolks are cooked:
- 1 protein needs to be cooked from 30 to 60 with;
- 2 squirrel prepare from 45 to 75 with;
- 1 yolk cooks from 20 to 30 pages. If it is more yolks and they were mixed in homogeneous mass — check each 10 seconds readiness of food.
After eggs prepared, it is necessary to get them and to allow to cool down within 2–3 minutes. During this time they will get fully cooked at the expense of the temperature. If necessary after that it is possible to send them to the microwave on 10-20 pages Remember that to soften egg which was digested it is already impossible. Therefore let it will be better a little not got prepared then you will be able to correct it.
If there are time and desire to experiment in kitchen it is possible with squids, a mannik, apple pie, chips, pumpkin, fish, apples, watermelon.
As we see, it is a little difficult to cook egg in the microwave, but it is possible to learn. And in case there is no other option of preparation of this product, or you just want to experiment, surely observe precautionary measures, and then everything will turn out.
