Boiling Eggs in Microwave

If I use a bowl of water and place eggs in it (eggs with shells on that is) to boil the eggsWill the eggs explode like they do if you try to cook them with the shell on in the microwave..Been waiting for a new stove top so cant boil anything

lol ,,,,Great when you are leaving your place of work for the last time.
Put a few eggs in the mic and turn on full power, If you are lucky you will hear them explode when you are out the door.
I have little cups I crack my eggs into, they work a treat.
I did have a microwave egg cooker with the aluminium insert, cooked 4 eggs at a time. That was the best, but it got warped, and &10.00 to replace that every year was a bit insane....

If I only need 1 egg I always do it in the microwave.However if I need more I do them in the pot.

To cook in the microwave put the egg in an arcoroc cup and cover with water.Then I set the microwave for 7 minutes on the lowest heat setting.It always workswell, they are always hard boiled (yolk set) and I've never had one explode.It's quicker than a pot and easier for just one egg.
