When you go to NITORI, the "range ●●" series is lined up in a row. What I found this time is "half-boiled egg in the microwave" (399 yen including tax). A product that allows you to make poached eggs without using a pot.


Poached eggs are quite annoying because you can't leave the soba while boiling. So I tried a soft-boiled egg in the microwave, and it was very convenient because if I followed the time and simple steps, I could make a soft-boiled egg properly even if I left it alone!

◆ How to use

The soft-boiled egg in the microwave is divided into three parts: a transparent body with a handle, a colander-shaped "egg pocket", and a lid.



First, stack the egg pocket on the main body and pour water or hot water up to the inner line.


Go to the microwave with only water in it, without eggs. Heat and bring to a boil until large bubbles appear. For water, use 500 to 600 W for about two and a half minutes, and for hot water, use the same wattage for about one minute.


Then, while heating the water, insert one egg into the lid and stab the yolk in 5 or more places with a toothpick (use eggs of M to L size).


When the water boils, gently put the egg in while the bubbles are coming out and cover it.



Then heat it in the microwave. 40 seconds at 500W, 30 seconds at 600W. Please be punctual here to prevent the eggs from bursting and overheating.


After heating, remove it from the microwave and leave it as it is. If you want to make it soft and soft, leave it for 3 minutes, and if you want to make it moist and hard, leave it for about 5 minutes.


After a while, drain the water with a spoon and take out the eggs, and you're done! Now, have you made a poached egg of your favorite hardness?

◆ I tried it

A soft-boiled yolk that overflows from the inside when you make a cut. The white meat has moderate elasticity and holds the yolk of Toro Toro firmly. The white meat was hotter than I expected, but it's enough if I can do this with a microwave oven!


As time goes by, the yolks will be cooked more and more due to the residual heat, so if you want to make it into a trottro, you may leave it for a short time.

I think that the heating time will change a little depending on the compatibility with the microwave oven at home, so it is necessary to determine it at first, but once you get used to it, it is very easy to make. It is convenient because it will not fail as long as you keep the heating time! (Don't forget to drill the yolk)

Topped with pasta, ramen, salad, or with white rice. It is also useful when you want another side dish.
