------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eggs should not be hard-cooked in their shell in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up and the egg will explode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
This warning is not entirely true!
There is a device on the market called "Nordic Ware Microwave Egg Boiler", which steams up to 4 eggs in their shell in the microwave oven.
However, it is much cheaper and simpler to use any microwave-safe container already in your kitchen to hard-cook eggs in their shell in a method described in the E-article below.

Wrap eggs individually in aluminum foil. (My mom had theories about shiny side out vs. in, but it doesn't really matter.) Put in microwave-safe bowl. Fill bowl with water. Put in microwave on high until water boils, then continue to boil until they reach the desired degree of done-ness.

you can put foil wrapped eggs in the mw? why doesn't it arc?

For some physics reason that I don't know off the top of my head, and am too lazy to google. I grew up in a house with no stove (we had 2 microwaves, an electric skillet, and a toaster oven), and did hard boiled eggs that way at least once a month, and they never arced. One of the microwaves is still working away at my house (which does have a stove, thank goodness), ~15+ years later.

Huh? But the microwaves won't penetrate the foil...
But they heat the water that the foil wrapped eggs are in, and that is how the eggs boil without being nuked inside..

Anyway, putting eggs in the MW is basically making "Chicken Grenades" with some powerfully explosive force!
Not if treated in the above manner, as the egg is notbeing microwaved, it is being boiled - hence Jan's comment of 'Clever :-)' if ya see what I mean? ',;~}~

I hardley see the point in doing it unless the m/w is the only cooking appliance you have.
