I tried to poach two eggs in a dish. It worked quite well in that the eggs
did not try to explode and kept their shapes in that the yolks stood up
well. I used the egg setting but forgot to time the eggs as they cooked,
getting distracted with getting the wrapper off the very cold butter and

Pamela, how did your experiment work? When I make scrambled eggs in the
microwave, I always add a little milk, about a tablespoon and about that
amount of butter before I cook them. I got that idea from a friend.

I have a Nordickware microwave egg cooker which hard-boils up to 4 eggs,
although I almost never fill all 4 compartments, 3 eggs is what I can fit
comfortably.

This sounds very informative. I never thought of wrapping the dish tightly
in plastic wrap. It would save with cleanup if the egg did explode a little
bit, and they tend to do so when cooked on high especially. I need some
protein today so will go to the kitchen and experiment with this. And I
Yes, that's it.
I usually give the egg a good tap on the counter or the side of my sink,
then I hold it over the bowl with my fingers on top and my thumbs
supporting the underside of the egg. I gently pull the two halves apart
slowly and let the yoke slide into the bowl. this way I can tell
Good morning Luke:
Everyone finds their own comfortable way of doing things, but I would say
that you are correct. Pull theeggshell in an two, in opposite directions.

I would crack your egg(s) in a separate bowl and then feel for any shell(s)
particles which may have fallen into the bowl before pouring into a mixture
or cooking in the microwave. Hth.

After you tap the egg sharply on the edge of the bowl, put your thumbs on
top and your fingers under the egg. Pull it apart as if you were opening a
little box with the hinges on top where your thumbs are.

It seems to me most of you are suggesting pulling the egg shell apart
by tugging the shell halves in opposite directions, as opposed to
taking the egg in both hands and twisting the shell in opposite
directions. Is this correct? This rookie cook needs to know! By the
way, this is a wonderfully
I strike the egg on its long side with a knife. A swift, short stroke. It
will make enough of a crack for me to be able to pull the halves of the
shell apart, over a bowl, and the egg will run into the bowl.

I like to crack it on the edge of the counter or sink. Try to crack it in
the middle of the egg with a sharp medium to soft but firm crack. Pull it
apartwith your thumbs where you cracked it, and hold it over the bowl. If
you do it next to the sink, you can just drop your shell in to where your
Hold the egg firmly In one hand. Give a quick, sharp tap on the edge of
whatever bowl you are going to put it in. Then, you can take it in both
hands and pull the shell apart. I usually get two shell halves and no shell
bits In my egg. This too is like spreading stuff. The more you do it, the
Many thanks Marilyn for this advice from one blind cook to another.
My question on this topic is as follows:
What is the best way to crack a egg?
Of course with as little shells in the bowl as possible.
Every time I've tried to crack a egg, I constantly crush the egg and get
nothing but shells.
This is great. Eggs are so versatile. I like to add a little cooking spray
in the dish before microwaving, especially if you are adding cheese. They
tend to stick, and when washing the dish, it is very hard to clean.
