Hi Ken,


Looks like from what I looked up, you may have the microwave power set
a bit high for it? If your's isnt adjustable, reduce the time back a
bit.

Adding milk or water (and stirring well with a fork) will fluff better.

For the egg scraps, from what I saw 2 answers. Those things that look
like a puffball of sponge bits would fit perfect. They are 1$ store
stuff. Swish swish and done.

Also, looks like you'd dump the egg fast to a plate and fill container
with water before eating, to soak (then cleanup would be a snap). It's
waiting to fill with water until after you eat that made it hard
probably? You can do the 'swish swish' with the cleaner later, just
fill with water in the sink and go eat them cleanup later.

Enjoy!

Carol

I pretty much have a lot of them, I do very much like the Robo-Stir and use
it often when the grandkids are here, I like the stove top round grill too.
Some that end up at the dollar stores, like the bacon bowl, are in the
garage in my "useless things" closet. :-)

Why don't you give coddled eggs a try? You don't even need a special
egg coddler, use a mason jar.
http://lifehacker.com/poach-eggs-per...jar-1605260852
If you want them scrambled, scramble them first, coddle them with
butter - giving it enough time to firm up but not over cook to a hard
boiled texture. You could try milk (I like cream), butter and a few
seconds less time for your microwave eggs.

You make sumo wrestlers look anorexic.

Scrambled eggs cooked in a microwave will always be a fail.
I tried them a few times.
You don't need a nifty eggtastic container, just put in a bowl.
The microwave will overcook them every time and the cooked on
egg is NOT so easy to clean. No soaking and sponge will get it
all off. You will need a green scrubby pad or Brillo to clean.

Best scrambled eggs are done in a pan and just about as quick
as some infomertial gimmick container.

Scramble your eggs in a bowl, add them to a hot pan that includes
melted butter. Don't cook on high but on medium. Stir constantly
as it cooks. Good scrambled eggs need to constantly scrambled
even while cooking. Take off and plate while they still look a
bit underdone as they will continue to cook for a bit.

You will never cook a decent egg in a microwave.

Again I will say, microwaved scrambled eggs will always be a fail.
To score, you need to keep scrambling them as they cook.

Ah, but you haven't seen the commercial, have you? When the guy dumps
the eggs out on the plate the inside of the Eggtastic looks clean as a
whistle! We all know eggs just aren't that easy.

That is exactly how I scramble my eggs, and I also add double cream

Oh no, I call BULLSHIT on that one, unless you like rubbery eggs.

The eggs should be added to a non-stick skillet over LOW heat with
melted butter to coat the cooking surface fully.

Gently roll the pan, allowing the eggs to form the equivalent of a crepe.

Keep on low heat and then very gently lift the eggs with a spatula and
roll the remaining liquid eggs gently, side to side, then lift and roll
again.

Remove from the pan when just barely done, gently to serving plate.

The eggs will be supremely moist but also cooked.

Bothering eggs for the whole time they cook makes them rubbery.

No you rally do NOT!

Excess scrambling makes for rubbery eggs.

Let them form a crepe/omelet over the bottom of the pan, then lift
gently - always over low heat.

Disturb them as little as possible and remove to plate when just cooked.

They may seem that way to you until you try this method.

You need enough heat to melt the butter and coat the pan, after that -
almost none.

If you think about it logically, bothering the eggs can only break the
curds up and make them tougher as more sides of the eggs hit the hot pan
and dry.

By allowing the eggs to gently and slowly cook crepe style you reduce
that process and allow a far more gentle saute which retains moisture,
instead of losing it.

Give it a try some time, You will not be disappointed.

There are lots of methods and people use what works for them. It's
fine to talk about what works for you, but dictating that it's the
only way is ludicrous.

I've see the hot [pan method from ATK, and it may be scientifically sound.

But from experience and living in an exceedingly dry climate I've had
enough overcooked scrambled eggs to have sussed out my own faultless
technique.

I encourage ALL to try it, take your time, let the gentle heat and ample
butter do the trick.

Worrying eggs constantly will always lead to rubbery results.

And in that I am unanimous!

The cooking time directions are for 1100, 1200 & 1250W MW. Mine is a
1000 so I used the 1100W time at full power.

Hope so.

I put water in it long before I washed it. Used one of those sponges with
a rough side. Works for most other things. Suspect the eggs stick better
to ceramic than most stuff.

I ate them directly out of the cooker. That's what instructions show.
Shirley they must be right!

Thanks. Coddled is a method I've never tried - or tasted. Have to look
into that.

DEAR FAT ASS

good morning fat ass
how will your day go?
will you be stared at like an enourmous blob?
or be taunted and teased all day long?

people say you can't do anything
you cant do this or that
but you will sure show them
when your fat ass is in control

it is all your fault fat ass
you live to eat and dont eat to live
well look at that fat ass
a greasy cheese burger streaming down your lips and chin

you are a worthless excuse for a human
no one wants to see fat
lock yourself inside your room
until your thin and flat



you would rather some one say
**** her anorexic ass
than **** you
you fat fat ass


words hurt as much as the weight
they will be with you forever
that extra baggage you can change
show them you can do something

No one wants to see a fat girl cry
tears of grease and blubber
you will no longer be the funny fat girl
you will be just as cool as any other

slide your finger down your throat
when you dream of grease and junk
the calories will fade away
down the toilet with one flush

dont eat today
you will prove them right
that is something
you just can't do

show them they dont
have control over everything
your weight
is something you do

Loose it all fat ass
I want to see coller bones
and down right thin

dont cry when you become dizzy
just know that it will help you in the end

You can feel good about yourself fat ass
you just have to learn control
your punishment is a life full of pain
and tears of grease and fried stuff

thin is the way you have always wanted to be
well you have a long journey to get there
but change your life
you **** of blubber

run run fat ass
let that fat ass shake
no one wants to see that shit
better run in your back yard instead

skinny
be thin
fat ass
be fat
when weighing out your options
which do you like better than fat?


its not lie fat ass
you have let yourself go
its time to buckle down
and crack those calories away


when it is all said and done
you will be worthy
you will feel alive again
see thin is the way to be

and you are just a fat ass with no control again.

Not that they admit to. That's the beauty of television infomercial
products. They can and do edit to their hearts content to come up with
a minute or two long sales pitch.

Personally, when I saw the commercial I thought the eggs they showed
were way more cooked than I'd like them. They reminded me of something
you'd find in a hotel breakfast bar after they've been sitting for about
an hour. No thanks.

I like nice soft fluffy scrambled eggs. I know how to make them nice
and soft without a special gadget.

You make 'em my way and they'll be so fluffy you'll want to sleep on them.

The best scrambled eggs are cooked in a double boiler... half stick
butter, a dozen well beaten eggs, stirred gently but constantly with a
wooden spoon... served before fully cooked... creamy and luscious.

Don't need a double boiler to do that... I don't at least anyway.
My GAS stove and one of my SS pans gets the same result...

The only time I've used a double boiler with eggs is to make ice
cream.
