I tried to poach two eggs in a dish. It worked quite well in that the eggs did not try to explode and kept their shapes in that the yolks stood up well. I used the egg setting but forgot to time the eggs as they cooked, getting distracted with getting the wrapper off the very cold butter and then cutting the butter stick with a cheese slicer--which, by the way, also works well. Except for being cooked firmer than I normally would cook them, the eggs turned out fine. However, some of the water overflowed out of the bowl onto the microwave's glass tray. I may use less water next time. I'll try the fried eggs next. I have always been successful with both scrambled eggs and omelets.

When I make scrambled eggs in the microwave, I always add a little milk, about a tablespoon and about that amount of butter before I cook them. I got that idea from a friend. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Pamela Fairchild via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, March 30, 2020 6:30 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: pamelafairch...@comcast.net Subject: Re: [CnD] How To Cook An Egg In A Microwave This sounds very informative. I never thought of wrapping the dish tightly in plastic wrap. It would save with cleanup if the egg did explode a little bit, and they tend to do so when cooked on high especially. I need some protein today so will go to the kitchen and experiment with this. And I consider myself somewhat an expert with microwaving eggs. I am always so glad and excited when I learn new things.

Eggs are good for you and full of protein. Eggs are great for breakfast, in a salad, or on a sandwich. Make an egg fast and easy in the microwave. Fried egg: Break 1 egg into a microwave save bowl. Gently poke the yolk of the egg with a knife. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate, so the egg does not explode. Put in microwave for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrambled Egg: Crack 2 eggs in bowl and scrambled with fork. Cover bowl and place in microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir 1 or 2 times to make sure the eggs cooked thoroughly. Hard-Boiled Egg: Break 1 egg into bowl. Gently poke the yolk of egg with a knife. Cover the bowl and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until hard. Gently stir occasionally to make sure the egg is cooked throughout. The egg may not appear pretty, but once you cut it up finely over a salad, all that matters is the taste. Poached Egg: Pour 1/3 cup of water into bowl. Break 2 eggs into bowl. Poke the yolks with a knife. Cover bowl and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Let stand until whites are set and yolks are thick but not hard. Pour out the water and serve in bowl or lift egg out onto plate. Enjoy. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
