Scrambled Eggs.

[Dingusmcgoo]

What , in your opinion,is the best way to make scrambled eggs in a microwave? Thank you.

I make them in the microwave all the time. I find they stick to my pans if i did it on the hob. You just have to be careful as the microwave will overcook very quickly, i like mine runny!

Usually add a knob of butter to mine.

Open the door every 30 secs and give them a good rousing with a fork - otherwise the eggs just stay flat like an omelette and not scrambled.

add a drop of milk and do it in 30 second blasts, mixing it with a fork in between blasts. and let it sit for a bit at the end while it's still a little runny otherwise it ends up very rubbery.

Brilliant! Thanks everyone.

just as a postscript, be careful to whisk it well and follow the above posters' advice...I only say that cos it was reported that a woman tried to poach (not scramble) an egg in the microwave recently and when she took it out, it exploded in her eye and permanently blinded that eye...that story really freaked me out and I presume it was true and not an urban myth

Thanks, CherryCherry. Will keep my eyes averted !

3 eggs....well beaten
Dash of double cream if required
salt and pepper
sprinkling of nutmeg
knob of butter

I always undercook mine and then leave them to finnish off whilst standing

Gods own food !!!

2 eggs, beaten up with a milk and a wee knob of butter, some pepper and a little grated cheese. Cook for a minute, give it a wee mix with a fork then another minute. Delicious. In fact, am going to go make some now. : D

Haysi06, I like the way you use the "wee" word occasionally. Are you from north of the border like myself ? :-)
