First, take your bowl and fill it halfway with water. Add a pinch of salt. The salt helps to prevent the egg from exploding in the microwave.

Step 2: Add the Egg

Next, gently put your egg into the bowl of water. Make sure the egg is completely covered with water.

Step 3: Microwave Time

Now, it’s time to use the microwave. With an adult’s help, put the bowl in the microwave. Set the microwave for 8-9 minutes on medium power.

Once the egg is cool enough to touch, you can peel it. And there you have it, a perfectly hard-boiled egg made in the microwave!
