I think the milk gives eggs more flavor, especially in scrambled eggs than
water does.

That is interesting. I haven't noticed a taste difference between milk and
water, but the eggs do seem fluffier.

Subject: [CnD] for Ron, Scrambling Eggs In The Microwave
Hi, Ron.
I do scrambled eggs and omelets in the microwave all of the time.
You've actually got a good start because a scrambled egg is just an egg
cracked and beaten with a fork. So, you would just poke the yoke a few
times as you usually do, then use a quick back and forth motion to whisk
the
yoke and white around in the mug until the yoke and white are thoroughly
combined. Then add a teaspoon or so of water to the mix and give it a
gentle stir. I don't know why, but eggs in the microwave taste better with
water. Someone told me that a long time ago and I didn't believe it, I
was
always a milk person, but for the microwave, it seems to work better than
milk and makes the eggs fluffier..
I have my favorite egg cooker. . . A silicone omelet maker I got at Target
last year. It's designed to be used either opened or closed, and it does
a
great job with just scrambled eggs or omelets.
It's a single piece of silicone that folds in half. To start you crack
eggs
and whisk them as if making scrambled eggs and pour them into the maker
when
it's unfolded and laid out flat. Cook for about a minute or a minute and
20
seconds, depending on the number of eggs and the wattage of your
microwave.
Then remove the maker from the microwave and add your omelet ingredients,
bacon, cheese, sausage, veggies. . Whatever you want. Then carefully fold
the silicone in half. There are raised pieces at one end that line up
with
wholes in the other side of the maker, so it fits perfectly and isn't hard
to line up.
Pop it back in the microwave and cook for another 45 seconds to a minute.
If you just want to scramble a few eggs, you can just pull the maker out
after a minute or so and stir things gently with a fork, then pop it back
in
for thirty seconds or so. This would also be when you could add cheese if
you like scrambled eggs with cheese.
The downside to this omelet maker is that it's small, only three or so
eggs
will work well. The first time I made a three egg omelet I put in a bunch
of cheese and bacon and it was a bit runny. I cooked it for a few seconds
longer, and it was cooked all right, but there was some egg juice in the
microwave. The finished omelet was good, though.
I believe the Blind Mice Mall sells a silicone omelet maker. If not,
they're about $10 or so at Wall Mart, Target, even Amazon.
You could also try silicone muffin pans, even the larger sized muffin
pans would work. Silicone is nonstick and very easy to clean. If you
clean it right and take care of it it will last and not take on smells
of cooked items.
Hope this helps some.

Here's my recipe for homemade egg muffins.
1. I take a coffee mug per egg.
That keeps the mess down and easy to clean up.
We all need to remember rehab 101, you make the mess, you clean it up.
SMILES.
Make sure you spray a little cooking spray in the mugs first.
Then crack your egg into each mug.
2. With a fork, stir up your egg and make sure you poke the egg
mixture with the fork so that the egg doesn't explode in the microwave
oven.
3. I always cover my egg cups with the microwave cover to also keep
the mess down.
The best tip I can share with you to make fried eggs in the microwave
is to have the microwave on half power for two minutes.
Each microwave is slightly different.
But for a reference, my Panasonic microwave oven has 1,400 watts of
power.
So, at half power, that would be 700 watts.
But I might play with that even more, even though I have a perfect
power setting for fried eggs only.
Would love advice on doing eggs sunny side up/over easy to sop up the
yoke with my toast and or biscuits.
And also would love some advice on doing scrambled eggs as well.
But place your eggs in the microwave oven for two minutes on half power.
Place what you would want on your sandwich in a toaster oven, if you
have one.
I love my talking toaster oven.
But I know not everyone can afford this oven.
I usually have a sausage patty on my sandwich.
I place the patty in the toaster oven for ten minutes at 350 on the
bake feature.
I also throw in a frozen hash brown in with my sausage patty and let
both cook for ten minutes at 350.
I then build my breakfast sandwich and might throw in a slice of
cheese while building the sandwich.
I take a English muffin out for my bread.
I build the sandwich and then place it back into the toaster oven and
switch from bake to toast and with the hash brown patty still in the
oven, I cook everything on the toast feature for five minutes.
That gives this breakfast a total cooking time of fifteen minutes.
Fast and hot.
With a tall ice cold glass of chocolate milk in the morning.
That is my breakfast. SMILES.
Now my question is this.
Has anyone had good luck at doing eggs sunny side up/over easy in the
microwave and or doing omelets or scrambled eggs in the microwave?
The only style of eggs I have down is fried eggs for my breakfast
sandwiches.
When I try scrambled eggs or omelets, they still come out runny.
I might try scrambled eggs, Sunnyside up and or over easy and omelets
at full power for sixty seconds, to see if that works out better.
So, would appreciate the help and advice for cooking time in the
microwave and at which power setting as well.
My power setting goes down by tens.
So, 90 percent power, 80 percent power, and so on.
So, to all, enjoy.
This blind flight simmer can't wait until next Tuesday the 18th, when
Microsoft will release the new Microsoft Flight simulator 2020 program
for we Blind flight simmers to stress test out and to enjoy.
This rich playboy flight simmer pilot only flies the Dassault Falcon
7X and hopes to get his hands on the successor the DF8X for private
flights.
