You can cook poached egg noodles in the microwave oven. This is the first time that I didn't understand that eggs would explode, which surprised me. What is the correct way? Please let me know. Thank you. You can't microwave the whole egg. You're lucky you didn't wait to eat them, or you'll burn yourself. Because egg yolk and protein are covered with a film, when heated, the water in the film generates a lot of steam, which will explode. Even boiled eggs or fried eggs should not be heated in the microwave as long as the yolk is intact. Unless you break an egg.
