master-cooks | Can You Cook Scrambled Eggs In The Microwave?

Cooking scrambled eggs in the microwave is a quick and convenient method that is ideal for busy mornings or when you have limited kitchen resources. Start by cracking eggs into a microwave-safe bowl and add a splash of milk or water to achieve a creamier texture. Season the eggs with salt and pepper or any other preferred spices. Use a fork or whisk to beat the mixture until well combined. Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on medium-high heat for short intervals, typically around 30 seconds, to prevent overcooking. After each interval, stir the eggs gently to ensure even cooking. Repeat the process until the eggs are just set and have reached your desired consistency. Cooking times may vary depending on the microwave's power and the number of eggs used. Be cautious not to overcook, as microwave-cooked eggs can quickly become rubbery. Once done, allow the eggs to rest for a moment, as they will continue to cook slightly from residual heat. The result is a fluffy and tasty dish that can be enhanced with additional ingredients like cheese, herbs, or vegetables. This method offers a simple and efficient way to enjoy scrambled eggs without the need for stovetop cooking.

For a simpler cleanup, crack a few eggs directly into the bowl you intend to microwave and eat from. Just ensure it's made from microwave-safe material, such as Dowan's ceramic bowls, and be mindful of its surface temperature after cooking. Whisk in a splash of dairy, seasonings like standard salt and pepper, and any add-ins such as cheese or spinach. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds, stir, and then microwave for another 30 seconds. Continue heating the eggs in short intervals until they reach your preferred doneness, which should take about two minutes in total.

Serve your scrambled eggs just like you would the more traditional ones you might have spent more time on; we won’t spill the secret if you don’t. Keep the convenience going by trying this simple method for microwaving crispy bacon. You can even use your microwave to extract extra juice from oranges. Craving an omelet instead? Make easy, homemade potato chips in the microwave for a topping inspired by "The Bear," a creative twist on the snack. Just remember not to attempt any of these hacks in the dishwasher — that’s strictly for cleanup and perhaps cooking salmon, if you’re feeling adventurous.
