30 second Egg Poacher

Boiled egg breakfast in 30 seconds!
Crack an egg into this, microwave for 25-40 seconds (soft or hard boiled) and eat!
For best results add a small pinch of salt in the bottom of the vessel before adding the egg. The salt attracts microwave energy and ensures even cooking. Slightly under cook and allow to it to stand for 1 minute to complete the cooking process.

Food Safety

PET or PETG is probably a good filament to use. PLA goes soft with heating and ABS can contaminate the food with harmful chemicals. Other materials are also suitable but do your own research.

The print layers can make this difficult to clean and bacteria will develop. You should wash thoroughly before and after use. You could also consider post print processing such as applying a coat of polyurethane.

UPDATED 19 Aug 2019: Revised version with a more even wall thickness to reduce the tendency of the egg to be undercooked at the bottom of the vessel.
