Microwave eggs?



Recommended Posts

Since I'm not much of a morning person, I tend to eat Breakfast once I get to work, and oatmeal and Protein Drinks are getting a little boring! I've seen this little plastic device at the grocery store that essentially lets you make an omelette in the microwave, but eggs are one of the things that I'm a little leery of zapping. Has anyone tried this, or microwaving eggs in general?

rinse a tea-cup out with cold Water, don't dry it, break an egg in to it and prick the yolk. Cover & microwave for around 30 seconds (depending on egg size and microwave power) for a quick, easy and mess free poached egg.

you can also make mini baked omlets in a muffin tin at home. Bake them in the oven if you have a 6 muffin tin and only want to make 4 just fill the empty ones with Water. Then just microwave at work!! I make mine with lost of vegges its always something different!

Sure do microwave eggs and egg beaters. I put mine in a mugg with a squirt of milk, pepper and zap for 40 seconds, take out, stir, and zap again. Quick and easy. If you are worried about the salmonella...don't be. Salmonella is found on the egg shell, not inside the egg. So, if you wash up after cracking you should have no problems.

I've zapped eggs before in a hurry, and make them for my son often when I don't feel like busting out pans, etc. Not bad at all, you'll be surprised I bet once you try it. They come out really fluffy too. Lol

Yes, I do this quite often for my toddler daughter. Get a plastic bowl (tuperware or whatever), spray with Pam. Add the egg, scramble, add just a touch of milk, scramble and microwave for 1 minute. Wa la, perfect! If you make two eggs, it is slightly longer in the microwave.

If you add too much milk, it will be runny. Just a touch of milk...

Good luck. Let me know who it turns out.

I do mine on the stove. It really doesn't take long. It only takes a couple of minutes for scrambled eggs. Lately, I've been eating an whole wheat english muffin with microwave turkey bacon, cheese, and one egg white. It takes maybe 5 minutes to make. I toast the heck out of the english muffin so it won't get stuck.

Yep, I use the microwave for eggs !

I put 2 small eggs, some rock salt & 45g of cottage cheese. I scramble them, 2 min in microwave stirring every 20 secs until they are cooked but still soft

:smile2:

Love 'em!

Rach.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
