Tips

Choose a good-quality microwavable container. Round shapes work best for cooking eggs. Since eggs cook rapidly, they can easily become overcooked or toughened when microwaved. To avoid this, use medium (50%) settings for egg dishes. Also, undercook slightly and allow for standing time to complete the cooking process. Using a mug is perfect to prepare and serve microwaved scrambled eggs.
