How to make a hard boiled egg in the microwave

The first thing we have to do is break each egg into a coffee cup or well. It is important that it is a small container since the egg will maintain the shape of the container and the yolk must be covered by the white. Add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.

Very carefully, we pierce the egg yolk with a small fork or a toothpick. This step is essential to prevent the yolk from bursting during the cooking process.

We cover the upper part of the container with a small plate or with transparent film, in this case we must make sure that the chosen film is suitable for cooking in the microwave, and we program the microwave at 700 W of power and 40 seconds of cooking.

We remove the container from the microwave and check the cooking point of the egg. As you can see in the image, the egg still lacks part of the white to set, so we program 700 W of power again but now we are checking cooking at 15-second intervals. In my microwave, it took two intervals, 70 seconds in total, to get a hard-boiled egg just right.

Remove the egg from the container and cut it in half. At this point, we can check the cooking point achieved with the time spent. Taking this time as a reference, we can vary it according to the curdling point we are looking for and the use we want to give to the hard-boiled egg cooked in this way.
