What are the recommendations for cooking eggs in the microwave?
You will have to pierce the egg, otherwise the egg would explode in the microwave. You can also purchase utensils for cooking eggs in the microwave that will automatically pierce the egg & shell.
How do you poach an egg in a microwave?
It is not advisable to try to hardboil an egg in a microwave. They can explode and the material that comes out of the egg can burn you or remain stuck on the walls in your kitchen. It is much better to boil a pot of water and place the eggs in the hot water for about ten minutes or until when cracked, nothing runny comes out of the egg.
What will happen if you put an egg inside a microwave?
An egg in the shell will explode in the microwave as the contents will boil and build up steam. You can cook scrambled eggs in the microwave using a bowl, mix together 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon of milk. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (loosely) and microwave for one minute at 80% power, stir and then microwave 1 minute at high power.

No. It wouldn't cook it. Unless it was leftover eggs from the first time you cooked it over a stove.
Can I boil an egg in the microwave?
It is never safe to microwave an egg that is still in its shell, as the buildup of steam inside the egg can cause it to explode. Therefore, hard- or soft-boiling eggs using a microwave is a very bad idea. The safest way to prepare eggs in a microwave using water would be to poach them. Be sure to pierce the yolk membrane to prevent a similar steam-pressure explosion from occurring. And remember that the microwaves will also be heating the egg itself, not just the water it's floating in, which means that the yolk won't be as soft as with eggs poached over a stove.
Why does an egg sometimes explode in microwave oven although it has no shell and the yoke is pricked and a small amount of water surrounds the egg container?
Something like an egg exploding when cooking in a microwave is due to what might be called differential heating. Microwaves don't heat the items put in the microwave evenly. You know how this works from experience. Let's look. If you put eggs in a hot pan and pour on more heat, you can burn the bottom of the eggs before the tops cook and set. The heat can't "penetrate" or "travel" up through the egg to cook the top before the bottom burns. That thermal energy (heat) can only move so fast through the egg. You can burn it on the bottom without cooking the top. It's similar in a microwave. Microwaves penetrate food to cook it "inside" as well as on the outside, but they don't do it evenly. Anyone one who has heated more than a few things in a microwave knows this. In spite of a turning platform (and possibly a stirrer in the top), the microwave energy is not directed to or absorbed evenly by the food. Hot spots can develop, and an egg can explode due to the difference in the way the microwave energy is absorbed by and heats the egg.

Cook eggs in boiling water?
Eggs dont boil. Hot water boils and cooks the egg contents in 30 minutes. It won't boil before it explodes. Test this in your microwave oven. They don't boil. You can only boil egg in hot water and that cook the egg shell's contents.
