No Microwave

[follyfancier]

why do food manufacturers assume that everyone has a microwave, I nearly bought a ready meal last week because i wanted to save time after being out all day but it was microwave only not oven cook

[bednobs]

i only use mine for sterilising baby bottles or using the timer function to time something in the real oven. I can't think of the lastt ime i used it for anything else

Scrambled eggs in the microwave?

[spathiphyllum]

blasphemy

Scrambled eggs are brilliant in the microwave and there's no yucky pan to wash up. Couldn't survive without mine for de-frosting, re-heating, making sauces/gravy etc etc. I never buy ready meals - my "quick and easy" is home-cooked food retrieved from the freezer and dealt with in the microwave.

very versatile bit of kit and you can buy one for less than forty quid

[spathiphyllum]

Scrambled eggs should only be done in a frying pan or in a hob pan. In a frying pan do like a normal fried egg, yet just mash it all up, in a hob, put in some milk (tiny bit) a bit of pepper, some eggs then stir till scrambled.

Ditto recipe Spath but in microwave.

I’m with diddly on the microwaved scrambled eggs, in fact that’s what we had last night.
I wouldn’t be without my fairly cheap microwave, I use it probably every day, not for actual cooking but for reheating, defrosting, doing frozen peas, sauces, lots of things.

Look, a microwave oven simply gets energy into food....thereby heating it up and cooking it....really no difference to any other means of cooking.
