Convenient goods "Sassokutamago" that you can easily make fried eggs and omelets in the microwave. Is it really possible to bake without using fire? It was 299 yen (tax included) at NITORI, so I decided to buy it and give it a try!


A yellow case made of polypropylene that opens and closes quickly. In addition to the half-moon shape for omelets, just put the eggs in the dents shaped like hearts, stars, and bears, and put them in the microwave for about 1 minute.

● Make a fried egg

First, let's make a fried egg. Pour a teaspoon of water into the dent and insert the egg.




Make three holes with a toothpick to prevent the yolk from bursting. After closing the lid tightly, put it in the microwave and heat it at 500W for about 1 minute. Adjust the time while watching the situation.





When you're done, be careful not to get burned and take it out. When I open the lid ...


It's a fried egg! The yolks are moderately soft-boiled (I love the fact that they are a little crumbled). Trace the edge around with a toothpick, peel it off from the case, and take it out.



By the way , if you heat it too much, it will explode lightly (the yolk will be completely cooked). At first, heat it for about 50 seconds to 1 minute, and if it is not enough, it seems better to extend it little by little.

Next, try omelet. Add soup stock, light soy sauce, sugar, salt, etc. to one egg to make seeds, and pour it into the dent. Adjust the amount by half for large dents and by a quarter for small dents.


Heat in the microwave for about 1 minute. Extend the time while watching the situation, and open the lid when it is completed.



Some of the eggs have flowed out, and it looks like a bridge. However, when I tried it, it was plump and delicious, and the omelet was delicious! It was smooth and easier to take out than a fried egg.

● How to make an omelet

The last is an omelet. The description says one egg, but since the dent is large, make it with two eggs. The melted eggs were seasoned with salt and pepper, and the torn and melted cheese was added.



Pour this into an omelet-shaped dent and put it in the microwave. Unlike fried eggs and omelets, omelets add a little extra work on the way. First, heat it for about 1 minute, then take it out, open the lid, and stir it with chopsticks. And then to the microwave again. Heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute until you have the desired degree of baking, and you're done!




Yeah, it's burnt properly! The eggs are moist and soft, and the cheese melts from the inside. It lacks the "fluffy feeling" of baking in a frying pan while stirring by hand, but it is usually delicious. I think that it is also suitable as a side dish for bento because there is not much gap in the taste after a while when it is freshly made.

● Rather than a busy morning ...

I tried it and thought that it could be used for family lunch boxes and party cooking rather than for short-time cooking in a busy morning. It is convenient that the eggs are baked in the microwave while making another side dish with gas fire. There are some tips, so if you can master it, you may be able to cook more easily than a frying pan!

In addition to egg dishes, it seems that instant eggs also serve hot cakes. Simply make seeds from a commercially available pancake, pour it into a dent and bake. I will try it next time.
