Make sure you prick the yolk first too.  Helps to stop that exploding  

I only do scrambled eggs in the m'wave.  Just give them a stir with a fork every 10 secs or so.

[muntjac]

my yolks dont need no prick in to stop em goin pop  :oops:

[milkman]

oooh errr!

[wellingtons]

... pricked da yolks and da white just for good measure, popped some clingfilm over the lil bowl ... nuked for 30 seconds, waited 30 seconds, nuked for 10 seconds ... it worked!!

Bit of popping, but microwave didn't need hosing down.

[muntjac]

[shaun]

why on earth would you put an egg in a microwave ,whats happened to pots and pans  

[muntjac]

[shaun]

just dont seem right to me ,i must be old fashioned but in a young way  

[wellingtons]

... now I have to confess ... once again to Muntjac's absolute delight ... that I can't poach an egg!  If you want homemade thai fish cakes or even profiteroles I'm yer woman, but poaching an egg is beyond me.

I can boil em, scramble em, fry em, bake em, omelette the * and even turn em into creme caramel or pavlova, but I can't poach em.

 

But now, with the aid of an ex marine, a small dish and a microwave I can poach eggs beautifully.

Breakfast this morning was one poached egg and a lovely thick slice of ham from the deli ... marvellous!

Oh Well, as long as you're happy Wellies, that's all that counts, but I must admit I've gone back to scrambling my eggs in a pan as OH likes them very soft, and its easier than keep opening the flaming microwave door to stir the * every few seconds!!!!!!

I prefer my porridge in the pan too!!!!!

[wellingtons]

... to use a pan ... but I can't get it right that way.

Definitely scramble yer eggs in a pan ... best way.

I'm beginning to think I eat too many eggs
