This is because if theyare placed straight into the oven, theyexplode because of the pressure createdinside the shell. Being broken, the yolkalso explodes if the film covering it is notpierced. So push the tip of a toothpickinto the centre of the yolk; if the egg isfresh, it will not spill out. The yolk and thewhite react differently to the microwavesand unfortunately the yolk cooks morequickly. When eggs are beaten(omelette), the edges should be takeninto the centre halfway through cookingtime.Poached eggsHeat 50 ml of water with salt and a dashof vinegar for 1 min on 1000 W. Breakthe egg into the boiling water andcarefully pierce the yolk and the whitewith a toothpick; cook on 600 W for 30 to40 seconds (depending on the size of theegg). Leave to stand for 1 minute, thendrain and serve.Scrambled eggsMix 2 raw eggs in a bowl with a littlecream or milk, a knob ofbutter, salt and pepper. Cook for 40seconds on 1000 W. Remove and beatbriskly with a fork. Resume cooking on1000 W for a further 30 to 40 seconds.The eggs should remain creamy.Oeufs cocotteBreak the egg into a buttered ramekin,season with salt and pepper, pierce theyolk and the white with a toothpick. Addthe desired ingredients (cream,mushrooms, lumpfish roe, etc.). Cook for1 min 30 sec to 2 min per egg at 250 W,depending on the size of the egg and thequantity of garnish.Cheeses react differently dependingwhat type they are: the fattier they arethe quicker they melt. If they are cookedfor too long a time, they harden. Whenpossible, it is preferable to add gratedcheese at the last moment (for pasta,gratins, etc.).
