Abstract

A utensil for microwave cooking for eggs includes a container body of microwave transmisable material having a side wall merging with a base. The base includes a centrally located yolk retention portion and forms with the side wall a white retention portion. The form and relative disposition of the base and side wall are such that substantially all microwave radiation first entering the yolk after passage through the egg white will previously have passed through the side wall or base.
