Eggs Hey,
Curiosity kills the cat !.... The very Vague title was just to lure you people here ....
Here are some very simple egg recipes ...... Anybody can cook this so i encourage you to try it out .....
Warning !
For successful cooking of eggs in your microwave, keep these few points in mind:
-->EGGS MICRO-COOKED IN THEIR SHELLS WILL EXPLODE!
-->Omelets, scrambled eggs and poached eggs micro-cook well on full power (high).
-->Even out of the shell eggs may explode in the microwave because rapid heating causes a buildup of steam. Always use a tooth pick or tip of a knife to break the yolk membrane of an unbeaten egg before micro-cooking to allow the steam to escape.
-->Covering cooking containers with a lid, plastic wrap or wax paper encourages more even cooking and - if you forgot to prick the yolks - helps to confine the explosion!
Recipies
Fried Eggs - Break and slip one (1) egg into each of two lightly-greased 10-ounce custard cups or a pie plate(Flat bottomed plates). Gently prick yolks with tip of knife or wooden pick. Cover with plastic wrap. Cook on 50% power just until eggs are almost desired doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand, covered until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard.
Poached Eggs - Pour 1/3 cup water into 10-ounce custard cup or small deep bowl. Break and slip in two eggs. Gently prick yolks with tip of knife or wooden pick. Cover with plastic wrap. Cook on full power about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. If necessary, let stand, covered, until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour off water to serve in custard cup or lift out with slotted spoon. NOTE: For 4 eggs, use 2/3 cup water in 1-quart bowl or baking dish. Cook 1 1/2 to 3 minutes and let stand as above.
Scrambled Eggs - In 10-ounce custard cup, beat together 2 eggs, and 2 tablespoons milk with salt and pepper to taste, if desired, until blended. Cook on full power, stirring once or twice, until almost set, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir. If necessary, cover with plastic wrap and let stand until eggs are thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 1 minute. NOTE: All microwave cooking times are based on a full power output of 600 to 700 watts. For a lower wattage oven, allow more time.
