A note on microwave cooking time: The power level of a microwave will influence cooking time. 1200W microwaves will cook very fast, 1000W is more typical of home microwave 45-50 seconds and egg will be done most likely. A 750W microwave like in a dorm fridge combo unit may take 45-50 seconds and need another 15-30 seconds. You might need to experiment with your microwave. Eating undercooked eggs may be risky for foodborne illness.
