A TikToker is turning heads with her hack for how to cook eggs in the microwave.
The stove-free trick comes courtesy of a user named Kasandra (@akakasandra). The clip, posted on July 27, drew over 7 million views in just five days.
It’s easy to see why. For the lazy home chefs out there (this writer included), her hack seems like a game changer. Of course, many commenters questioned whether or not it works.

In the clip, Kasandra explains that she starts by coating a paper plate with oil or butter. Then she cracks an egg over it.
Next, she covers it with another plate and microwaves the whole thing for 50 seconds.
“And there’s your perfect egg,” she says.
The TikToker adds that home chefs can adjust the runniness of their eggs by microwaving them for 10 seconds more or less, depending on their preference.
Her trick is just the latest egg-cooking hack to take TikTok by storm. Recently, users have gone viral with a trick for “salt-curing” eggs and then freezing them. There’s also a popular hack for making “grated” eggs to go with your avocado toast.

In the case of Kasandra’s hack, some TikTokers had some pretty strong reactions.
“I’m calling the cops rn,” one user joked.
“I thought microwaving eggs was bad?” another asked.
Others, however, praised the trick. Many called it “genius.”
“This is so smart,” one user commented.
“OMG thank you … I’m 68 and have been cleaning pans for years and years. I want to hug you,” another wrote.
“As a college student, thank you,” another added.
OK, but is it safe to cook eggs in the microwave? The short answer is yes. However, you need to make sure you’re using a microwave-safe container. That means avoiding plates with a plastic film that could melt during cooking.

"Amber Rose is on a mission to empower women to embrace their bodily autonomy and sexual freedom after facing years of public scrutiny for doing so herself.The model, activist and singer first emerged in the public eye when she appeared as a leading lady in music videos and entered into a relationship with rapper Kanye West. Despite the name that she's made for herself by being an outspoken advocate for women and promoting feminism through liberation, Rose has found herself continually linked to the intimate relationships she's had with public figures including Wiz Khalifa, Machine Gun Kelly and 21 Savage." "I don't feel bad about anything. So if that makes me a hoe, I'm OK with that," she tells Yahoo Life in response to the criticism she's faced over the decisions that she makes with her body. "It's like, 'Amber's promoting promiscuity to little girls.' All these crazy narratives. It's almost insane. That's not what I promote. I promote grown women owning their bodies, dancing, laughing, dating, dressing with no shame. If people are not smart enough to do their research about me, that's not my problem."Pushing back against the standards placed on women is something that Rose has felt called to do since she was a young girl. She recalls her sexuality being used against her as bullies slut-shamed her in school. Although it didn't have an impact on the way that she thought about her body, Rose says it fueled her life's mission."
