I'll assume you broke the yoke before nuking, otherwise I'm surprised
you didn't have to mop up a very messy explosion.

Michael,
I wad inspired so I took a small carton of eggbeaters (2-serving size),
PAM'd a small round zip-loc tub, added contents. Nuked on high (1,100W)
covered (twist on style) for 45 seconds. Opened and gently stirred a little
and put it back in for another 20 seconds. Came out perfect. Round, tall
and fluffy and easily slide out onto a wimpy slice of wwwg bread with a
shake of garlic and fresh cracked white pepper with a tall glass of ice
water and a multivitamin.
I never would have bothered to try. Thanks,
Technically scrambled eggs but I don't do egg yolks anymore. And it shaped
just right, not running all over the pan in pieces. Clean up was a cinch, a
little dish soap in the zip-loc, fill halfway with hot water, cover, shake,
rinse. Toss the paper plate, plastic knife and fork.

Talking about eggs in the MW...DS's GF was telling me she decided to boil
some eggs in the MW at work the other day - but nobody told her you have
to puncture a small hole in the shells. She said the eggs 'exploded'
(surprise, surprise) and she also said it took her 'ages' to clean up the
mess <grin>.

Eggs and microwaves just don't mix, no matter how you do it.

Quite so! She also told me that she'll *never* try that again <lol>
I've had a modicum of success with scrambled egg in the MW, but, IMHO you
might as well just make it in a pan... Same with rice and pasta - takes
just as long, and I find it's easier on the stove top, anyway.
ChattyCathy
Heh. I've got one of those 'combo' MWs - it has the convection oven/grill
option too. I've used it to warm up garlic bread and pizzas - but I don't
think I've ever cooked a full meal in it since I got it 5 or 6 years ago.
I use it primarily for re-heating food and only for defrosting if I'm
really in a hurry - IMHO, it doesn't just defrost, it par-cooks the meat
around the edges if you are not extremely careful with the timing. The
'cookbook' that came with it claims that you can 'roast a beef tenderloin'
in it. I haven't bothered to find out...

You need to invite some people and tell one to bring the tenderloin and the

Wayne Boatwright
I agree about eggs and pasta. However, when I cook rice it's always only
for the two of us. While it takes just as long, I really prefer the
results when I use the microwave. My usual quantity is 2/3 cup rice to 3/4
cup water. Bring to a boil on high, reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes,
fluff lightly with a fork, then reduce to the "keep warm" setting until
serving time. Perfect rice every time, and the result is like a true
steamed rice.

I believe cooking with any heat source requires a learning curve. When I
fed a family of 4 I nuked my rice too. When I wanted/needed a fast
breakfast, I nuked eggs. I enjoyed the eggs they were cooked to my
liking, but they weren't the first couple of times I did it. Neither was
the rice. Knowing how and doing are 2 differing things. Whether it is
baking a cheesecake, grilling a steak or nuking a egg...it all takes
practice to get it down pat. Mostly these day I use the nuker to steam
veggies and to defrost frozen foods. But in blind taste tests the nuked
items have placed higher than the same conventional stove cooked items it
texture and flavour. Only on the 'looks cooked'colour issue has the nuker
failed dreadfully.
My panasonic turbo inversion nuker defrosts fast and very nicely.

We have two m/w's, one over the range that came with the new house, and a
medium size coutertop model that we brought with us. Neither are a combo
convection/grill/ m/w combination. The countertop unit is a Panasonic
which uses a totally different technology/method of producing and emitting
the microwaves to the cooking chamber. Unlike typical m/w's which pulse on
and off at full power to produce a "percentage" of cooking power, the
Panasonic produces a steady flow of whatever percentage of power is
selected. Two of the advantages I've observed is that food can be
defrosted without even the barest edge being cooked in the process. The
other is the lack of "boil up and over" when you've set the unit at, say,
30-50% power. You get an actual 30-50% constant power, instead of 100%
with pauses in between, the latter of which often does cause boil overs
when it pulses on. I prefer the Panasonic hands down over the Whirlpool
over the range unit. I only use the Whirlpool when I want to cook
something on full power, or use the "keep warm" setting, which it's also
adept at. The Panasonic also has one of the highest wattage output for
non-commercial units. Ours is 1350 watts. The following model is similar
to the one we have. They have a wide selection of other models, including
those with convection/broil features that use the same technology. I would
highly recommend any of these units.

Actually nukers do a very good job with cooking a couple-three beaten
eggs, hard to tell the resulting omelet wasn't cooked by a 5 star
chef. But yes, other versions of egg cookery are best left for other
more conventional cooking devices.
That said it's extremely rare I'll cook less than a full dozen eggs...
cooked eggs are great left overs to have on hand to use for other
dishes... I happen to enjoy cold egg sandwiches, left over eggs in/for
salads, and boiled hard cooked eggs never hang around long. And
occasionally I'll fill a half gallon jar with pickled eggs, doesn't
even need refrigeration.

Our particular model is not available any more (of course) but it's an LG
MW/Grill/Convection oven. It was 'new' technology at the time. As I said,
I don't use it for cooking much, but I'd miss not having one, all the same...

I have a combo unit that I bought to replace the Panasonic that finally died
after 14 years, I loved it & it baked great too. The microwave part went out
after about 13 years & the oven part lasted another year. The new name brand
model is a piece of crude. I would LOVE to get another panasonic, was
perfect for what I needed, I even baked small turkeys in it & things
actually got done on time. I couldn't find one like it in my area & didn't
have time to search online & order one so I just got what was available.

When I had a microwave (it's been years since I did) and needed one
scrambled egg for some reason (for the baby, a quick sandwich,
whatever), the microwave did a fine job. Butter a small cup, beat the
egg in the cup, nuke for a bit. For the baby, I would also melt a
little cheese on top. He loved that.

Hot dogs are already cooked, so they don't count. Microwave cooking a
hamburger is an awful thing to do, but there are so many folks here
who have such low standards that it wouldn't surprise me a bit if
several of you find it an acceptable practice. I have not eaten a
"hot dog" any way but cold out of the package as emergency food in at
least a decade, and I have never microwaved a hamburger patty.

This was confusing, because up at the top of this post, an earlier
writer had used "GF" to mean girlfriend. It took me a bit to figure
out that you were talking about a George Foreman grill. I don't own
one, and wouldn't buy one, but that would be way better than a
microwave for cooking a hamburger.

could use a small bowl or plastic container, I use one of those small
flexible silicon "pans" you can get at the dollar store, -- turns out it is
shaped like a heart but its size is perfect. Put the chopped onions and
whatever in first with a drizzle of olive oil, then break the eggs in but
don't scramble them -- instead, pierce the yolks with a fork and kind of
spread them around. Nuke for three minutes. Have your bread spread with the
mayo, mustard, whatever, and simply dump the whole cooked eggs on and cut
them up right there on top --they'll be just firm enough to be in one piece,
but soft enough to break apart with a knife and fork and spread around. S&P
and there is your sandwich. You could cut them up in the bowl and add the
mayo and all that instead if you prefer.

You should give the microwave more credit and use, it's just another
heating method and works very well for a lot of cooking tasks. Melting
butter, heating water to dissolve bullion / base, steaming vegetables,
cooking fish, grits, oatmeal, etc.

I never cook meat in the microwave, but I do use it for defrosting, cooking
certain frozen vegetables, and warming almost anything. I've learned that
rewarming works best if it's done at a lower setting for a longer period of
time.

I tend to trust peer reviewed recipes. Haven't tried any yet.
Probably try another eggbeaters for breakfast. Should've shopped English

You ain't lived, bro! :D
Pop was afraid of the nuker. In his final year, during a visit, I made us
1/4 lb. dinner hot dogs in the nuker. He was so impressed he asked me how I
did it. I explained and he understood. He woke me up the next morning and
said let's have hot dogs for breakfast. I said OK, you make 'em. I looked
over his shoulder as he proceeded to program the nuker while the sauerkraut
was steaming on the stove and the buns were toasting in the oven. He got it
right. We sat down to breakfast when my ex walked in. Did we get a finger
sweeping scolding. Pop, not phased, deadpan, said "Where does it say on the
package 'Caution: Do not eat for breakfast'!??" My ex tilted her head in
thought, then Pop broke into laughter. We all laughed!!! She blushed! The
scolding having back-fired.
One of my favorite sayings of his. I changed my breakfast strategy after
that day.
It was a life-list event.
Pop's triumph!!! :))) [R.I.P.]

Today's eggbeaters didn't go so well. On toast after setting down a little
and before pepper, Cholula and cheese.
http://i28.tinypic.com/2bv3w3.jpg
After nuking, the twist on lid was domed up and there was a hissing sound.
As I opened the top the eggs expanded to fill the tub then settled a bit.
No mess but a little shocking effect. Either I didn't fasten the lid tight
enough or they're not re-usable for nuking.
Still tasted great. :D

have a 4-split level (not counting the attic) house. I'd build the same

I have to eat the beef kosher dogs in casings. Not the skinless spam dogs
like Oscar Meyer.
We porch bbq-grilled in Kansas City one evening and my turn at the grill I
well-did a few hot dogs. I walked into the kitchen on relief and the host
was actually picking off the charred skin with her fingernails before
putting it out with the rest. NOBODY was around saying I want mine well
done or blackened or what!. It was a strange experience.
My relief at the grill went on to cook the chicken and pork to bone dry
which seemed acceptable to them. The finishing BBQ sauce didn't save it,
imho.
Another thing I found strange was they didn't grill any burgers. Samoan
custom?

What I do is toast the bread, put on a slice of soy cheese and a large
piece of roasted red pepper. I cook the egg in a small frying pan with a
small amount of oil, salt, pepper and finely cut sage leaves. I break the
yolk once the white has begun to set and cook it all the way through. My
wife likes it runny, and usually I like egg yolk runny, but not running
down my chin (I have a beard).
The microwave is for...um...quick cooking things like cubed potatoes so
they will brown faster or heating up a pouch of aloo mattar.
Reminds me I have to get more of that.

Without electrical power the oven can't be lit but the top burners

Nobody here smokes, and we have a gas stove. We have a box of matches
and one of those lighter things (not the small one for cigarettes, but
a longer one). All you have to do is turn the knob to light and then
apply the match or lighter. Poof. Turn the knob to the heat level you
want.
When the power goes out, we can cook just fine. The oven part doesn't
work since the thermostat is electric, but the stovetop works great.
And there is plenty that we can cook.
pure kona
We have the same kind of stove. Although I occasionally smoke, the
little zippo would not work, but that longer one I can buy at the
grocery store- works every time. I will always have a gas stove
although I resisted for years. It may be dark in the house, but the
gas burners, used with one of those longer zippos, will mean I always
have warm food.

Don't let it run out of gas, that's how we lost ours... Our old pilot
light type stove ran out of gas one year when we were not paying
attention. When the service guy came out to turn it back on he told me
he couldn't as in CT it is illegal for him to service or start a pilot
type stove anymore. We had to buy a new stove with electric shut off.
We did good though. Went into Sears and they had a dented delivery stove
in the corner for 450 dollars, it was a 1200 dollar stove and the dent
would be hidden so we grabbed it. A week later the electronics messed up
and to make a long story short, as opposed to repairing it, the simply
traded us for a new one, with no dent!

What a coup! May I touch you for a little luck?

Apparently my news server decided to resurrect it--I didn't even notice the
date until you mentioned it.
