Notes

  1. Do not omit the salt from this recipe. If you leave out the salt the eggs may explode in the microwave. 
  2. Be sure to use enough water to cover the eggs. 
  3. Be sure to use a deep bowl and not a shallow one or the eggs may explode.
  4. Cooking times are based on eggs that are at room temperature. If the eggs you are using are cold out of the fridge you may need to add more cooking time.
