Can boiled eggs with peeled shells be put in the microwave

It is not recommended to directly heat boiled eggs in the microwave after peeling them. Eggs heated in the microwave may burst due to internal steam expansion, posing a safety hazard. When eggs are peeled and microwave heated directly, the moisture in the yolk and egg white will quickly vaporize, and a sudden increase in internal pressure may break through the egg body. Microwave heating eggs with shells carries a higher risk, as the eggshells hinder the release of steam and are more prone to bursting. If a microwave is necessary, peeled eggs can be cut into small pieces or crushed and spread flat in a container, and heated at low to medium power for a short period of time. During the heating process, it is necessary to pause the inspection status every 15 seconds to avoid local overheating. When it is necessary to quickly heat cooked eggs in special circumstances, they can be soaked in hot water or heated separately using a steamer. These two methods evenly heat the eggs by conducting heat energy, avoiding the accumulation of internal pressure. When heating egg products in a microwave oven, be sure to use a microwave specific container and cover it with a gap to prevent splashing. After heating, let it stand for 1 minute before removing it, allowing the heat to distribute evenly.

Eggs are rich in high-quality protein and various vitamins. It is recommended to use boiling, steaming, and heating methods. Daily storage of cooked eggs should be refrigerated and consumed as soon as possible to avoid repeated heating that affects taste and nutrition. If you need to take it out, you can choose insulated containers to keep the temperature safe and preserve the flavor.
