Have you ever tasted a slightly mixed egg cooked in a lightly oiled/greased
coffee mug for around 54 seconds? I think this is one of the better methods
of scrambling a egg. All it takes is some spray veggie oil, a fork, a egg
(of course), some salt and pepper, a coffee mug, and a microwave.

First you spray the coffee mug with the veggie oil. Next crack the egg into
the cup, beating untill it is all the same colour, with the fork. Add the
salt and pepper and nuke for 50-54 seconds, pausing at half-time to stir a
bit. I like the taste of eggs scrambled this way.

These are a big hit at work, for morning coffee. You can add stuff like
cheese. You will most likely burn the eggs if you attempt more that 2 eggs
at once (1 minute 40 seconds to 1 munute 50 seconds), The eggs will be
slightly gray and smell of ammonia will be your clue that they're
overcooked.

Doing it this way, you have a coffee mug and a fork to wash. and the prep
plus cooking probably didn't take 2 minutes.

Using the stove it would have been a little longer. Getting the pan, plate
and egg and possibly mixing bowl. Waiting for the pan to reach temp.
etc...Estimated time 3 to 3.5 minutes.
