Thu Aug 11 12:43:51 -0700 2005 0 Gambo 1 1480095 No. You can take the egg out of the shell and put it in a covered dish, a ramekin or custard cup works well covered with plastic wrap works. Pierce the yolk and then cook on reduced power for about a minute. Thu Aug 11 13:11:58 -0700 2005 1480087 0 Candy
