Prepare cups and lids designed to be microwave safe. Most plastic, glass, ceramic, or cups and lids will have “microwave safe” printed on the bottom. Use the case and cap with this text printed on it. Do not use metal objects or foil in the microwave.

Pour ½ cup of water into the microwave safe use case. Using a measuring cup, measure ½ cup of water. Pour water into the mug.

Crack the eggs into the mug. Using the edge of the mug, tap once or twice to separate the shells, being careful not to break the yolks. Split the shells in half, and pour the egg yolks into the watering bowl.

Make sure the egg yolk is completely submerged in the water. ^{[2] X Source of Study} If the eggs are not submerged, use a measuring cup to add ¼ cup of water to the shift.

Boil the egg

Boil eggs over high heat for about a minute. ^{[3] X Source of Study} Place the shift in the microwave, and use the included lid to close the mouth of the mug. Then, close the oven door and adjust the heat to high for about a minute.

Make sure eggs are hard-boiled before using. Open the microwave door and open the lid carefully. The egg whites solidify, but the yolk may still be liquid. ^{[4] X Research Source} If egg whites are still liquid after 1 minute, close the oven door and cook for an additional 15 seconds. Check the eggs again, making sure the egg whites are no longer runny.

Use a spoon to remove the eggs from the plate. ^{[5] X Research Source} After this step, the eggs are cooked, open the lid carefully, and remove the mug from the microwave. Use a deep spatula to scoop the eggs onto a plate or bowl.
