I prefer mine warm too. I peel & keep boiled eggs in fridge. When I want one, I wrap it in a papertowel & 10 SECONDS in microwave warms it up enough for me.


I've never had any explode btw. OP, did you peel the shells first?

I microwave mine shell on. The shell won't prevent them from exploding if overheated, however.

Ten seconds doesn't warm them enough for me but yes paper towel used here as well.

Out of curiosity why do you want to eat a hard-boiled egg warm? I eat them cold cut in half with a little bit of salt.

By the way, for the perfect hard-boiled egg, put eggs in a pot and cover with cold water, bring to a boil, put a cover on and shut the heat off. Leave it for 17 minutes.

I like my eggs warm but don't have the facilities at work to make them there. I'd much rather have fried eggs but If it must be boiled i still like them warm.

Cold eggs. Yuck.

I follow the 3 minute boil rule. Perfect for me every time with the yolk still slightly soft.

I was assuming the shell might cause them to explode, excess moisture being held in by the shell & then expanding w/ the heat.

Ten seconds is a starting point (the mic @ work is scortching hot @ 10 sec, home takes a little longer), I'd recommend only a few seconds at a time after that point until it's favorable for you.


agreed, cold eggs=yuck
