Oeuf sur le plat in microwave?

[mallam]

My wife is abroad (visiting her wonderful old dad on his deathbed), and I have had unfavourable reactions to things I have done to the microwave with eggs in her absence before. Before trying to do anything else to eggs with the microwave, I had to write out 100 times something to the effect that I Must Ask The Experts.

Could I put a bit of oil in the plate (preferably just a brushing), microwave it (how long for?), and then break the egg onto it and grill it (it sounds as if the convection comes on with the grill, which would of course be best)?

BTW, has anyone else been stupid enough to buy those so called "microwave egg-boilers" and actually try using them?

[ummmm]

I still don't know what they are?

oh baked eggs basically, crack them in to a dish and bake them in the oven, they're nice but mallam is thinking of doing them via a combination of the microven + grill which i don't think will work, just the oven part would but again is it a waste of energy to heat the oven up to cook one egg?

And below that indisputably attractive picture it says
Oui oui, sucré, vous avez bien lu (on est sur Sucrissime, tout de même).
(Yes yes, sweet, you read it right (we are on Sucrissime, after all).
Sucrissime is of course a pretend word for 'sugariest".

mcf is having fun with me - prob seen on here that Im diabetic! But no sweat. I am not interested in sweet things, but reading the finer details on that page, I rather wish I were!

nooooo sorry mallam, it was just the pic i was wanting to show ummmmmm that was all, i didin';t even see the rest of it :-(

[mallam]

They STILL havent licked the end-of-line disappearing text problem, but if you copy and paste you can see what people are saying::"i didin';t even see the rest of it :-(". But why the glum face? I hope you have seen it now and been as amused by it as I was!

I wasnt seerious. You would be incapable of any cruel fun!

[mccfluff]

i was just trying to say i didn't read it! so anyway did you try the eggs and what happened?

[mallam]

Havent screwed up the courage yet, fluff!

[mccfluff]

lo, come one, whats the worst -you'll have to scrape egg of the microwave

[mallam]

Shall I start another question about how to scrape the egg off the microwave with guaranteed UNDETECTABILITY?

[albaqwerty]

put a microwavable bowl with water in the darned thing and stick it on 5mins... let the steam get rid of mess and use plenty kitchen roll. hopefully Mrs Mal won't notice when she comes back

[mccfluff]

lol yes!
