1 Can steamed eggs be steamed in a microwave oven?
Steamed eggs can be steamed in a microwave oven.
Microwave ovens cannot heat boiled eggs because boiled eggs are wrapped in shells and skins and can explode and cause burns easily. Steamed eggs are okay. Heat raw eggs in the microwave, preferably shelled, and beat in a container. Even if you poke holes in the eggshell and heat it, it is still dangerous. If you are heating cooked eggs, you should also poke holes large enough for ventilation or cut the eggs open. Of course, if you use a microwave oven to make egg liquid or egg custard, you should also pay attention to leaving holes in the lid to prevent the egg custard from exploding the entire inner wall. There is a membrane between the egg white and the yolk, which can withstand a certain amount of pressure when surrounded by the egg white. Under the action of microwaves, the egg yolk is heated and expanded first, and the egg will explode even if the egg shell is broken.
Therefore, all sealed foods with hard shells or skins must be opened before they can be processed in a microwave oven. Before cooking, the filmed, shelled, and sealed food must be punched with some air holes using toothpicks, needles, etc., otherwise it is easy to burst when heated. When using a microwave oven, be sure to follow the instructions to avoid accidents. 2 How to steam eggs in a microwave oven
