Hello there,
Recently i realized that getting scrambled eggs cooked in the microwave oven without any special equipment (for inside the microwave) is not that easy to get JUST right. The problem seems to be that the transition point between gooey and solid is very narrow in time. In other words, at total time 2:30 it might be still gooey and at 2:35 it might be solid, and at 2:40 it is overdone. Another factor is that the heating from the microwave signals penetrates the egg mass differently than with a frying pan on an open fire or electric burner. This leads to me having to constantly stop the microwave and mix the mass, then start again, then stop and mix, then start again, etc., etc.
In the frying pan it takes about 3 minutes to make scrambled eggs and they come out perfect every time.
Now i have used a microwave oven fry grill that gets hot and then you can break one egg on it and fry it just like on a regular stovetop with a regular frying pan, but i just wonder if there are any other ideas out there.
I have been making scrambled eggs in the microwave for years now with no fry grill insert but i never realized how much of a difference a fry grill or regular frying pan makes.
