**Please don't try this at home**
Place a regular counter-top microwave oven on its back surface so that the door opens "up". Insert into the microwave a specially designed plastic liner that has a series of cylindrical indentations in it. Each indentation is about 6 inches deep and 3 inches in
diameter. Into each indentation goes about a half dozen beaten eggs. Close the lid and then cook on medium high for about 2 minutes (this will have to be tweaked). The standing waves generated by the magnetron should unevenly cook the eggs, "curing" certain parts while leaving other parts runny. The liner is then removed and the contents are strained/decanted. What's left (should be) cooked eggs roughly in the form of the pattern of microwaves inside the oven. The ultimate would be scrambled eggs in a sort of reticulated, cylindrical pattern.
Might work for custard too, who knows.

Alternatively, microwave the egg in its shell. Serve with pufferfish. |

Why do you need to flip the oven and add a special liner? Couldn't you do this trick by just disabling the turntable? (This is not a rhetorical question - I'm looking forward to a good clear answer illuminating my ignorance of microwaves and eggs). |
