Only whole eggs, and only if you don't pierce them.

Scrambled eggs are awesome in the microwave.

Just make up the usual mixture (eggs, milk, bit of butter, salt) and chuck them in the microwave for four minutes, then stirt and cook again until they look like scrambled eggs.

Good for people who absolutely destroy them in the frying pan (me)

1 egg + 1 Tbsp water = 1 min in the microwave (With a stir halfway through)

lol about the eggs. When i was a kid mum brought home a brand new microwave, set it up and then had to go out again. Dad, my brother and I read the book and it said you could cook and egg, it said put it in a cup of water and put it in microwave, (must have said peirce it or something but we didn't read that bit.). so we put a whole egg in the cup and chucked it in. we were standing there watching it go round (we hadn't had a microwave before so it was pretty exciting) when all of a sudden the egg exploded and even blew the door open on the brand new microwave. we quickly cleaned up all the egg before mum came home. luckily it still worked lol.

i cook & reheat in ours.

I cook eggs, pasta, steam veges, spaghetti, baked beans things like that.

Here is a good one for poached egg in the microwave. DD loves this too.

Using boiled water from jug 1/2 fill a mug/measuring cup with water. Crack the egg into it, microwave on high for 30-45seconds. Its great ive never had it burst either.

It's especially great for dds lunch or to put in sammies.

I crack one into one of Caleb's feeding bowls, pierce the yolk, then cook for 30 minutes on high. If you don't pierce the yolk they will explode. What I like about this is there is only one small bowl and a teaspoon to wash afterwards.

Mine come out looking more like a fried egg but no fat. You can buy poachers and omelette makers for the microwave but the whole point for me is minimal dishes, oh and quick!

I cook scrambled eggs, and that's about it. Sometimes I use it to pre-cook veges for a vege lasagne.

I use it heaps though. Defrosting meat, melting butter, heating leftovers, for things like that I couldn't be without it.
