1
egg
½
cup
water
warmed to 110F
Separated eggs method
1
egg
separated into small bowls
½
cup
water
warmed to boiling
Instructions
For the warm water method:
In a 1 cup glass measuring cup, warm ½ cup water to 110F. Microwave at full power is about 30 seconds.
Remove from the microwave and gently place 1 egg in the water.
Let float for 5-10 minutes. Remove from water and dry the shell before using.
Increase the water and the size of the measuring cup if warming multiple eggs.
For the separated eggs:
Make sure the bowl you are using for the separated eggs fits underneath an overturned measuring cup you plan on using.
Measure ½ cup of water into a large glass measuring cup. Heat the water to boiling.
Remove from the microwave and dump the boiling water out. Immediately turn the cup over and place it over the bowl of separated eggs.
Let sit for 10 minutes.
Repeat with remaining separated egg if they both did not fit under the measuring cup.
Notes
The amount of water can vary. For more water, increase the microwave time, for less, decrease it.
Eggs are easier to separate when they're cold so separate them first, then warm.
