Does anyone hard cook their eggs in the microwave?
I get so tired of hard boiling eggs. I know it's not really a tough job, but it's so tedious. First, I have to remember to take the eggs out of the fridge and let them warm a bit. Then, there's the boiling.....seems like forever. Then, there's the cooling down period. I place mine in cold water and let this sit for a long time so the shells slide off. So I was wondering if there's a way to nuke eggs (other than for scrambling), and found this:
>>>Hard-Cooked Eggs
Separate yolks and whites of eggs into 2 lightly greased liquid measures or small bowls. Stir yolks with fork. Cover each container with plastic wrap. Cook separately on 50% or 30% power, stirring once or twice, allowing about 20 to 30 seconds per yolk, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per white. Remove when slightly underdone. Let stand, covered, about 2 minutes. Cool long enough to handle comfortably, then chop or chill until ready to chop.<<<
I really don't ever eat just plain hard boiled eggs. I just boil eggs for deviled eggs or egg salad, so this might be a good alternative. Anyone ever try this?
