Microwave eggs?



Recommended Posts

Since I'm not much of a morning person, I tend to eat Breakfast once I get to work, and oatmeal and Protein Drinks are getting a little boring! I've seen this little plastic device at the grocery store that essentially lets you make an omelette in the microwave, but eggs are one of the things that I'm a little leery of zapping. Has anyone tried this, or microwaving eggs in general?

rinse a tea-cup out with cold Water, don't dry it, break an egg in to it and prick the yolk. Cover & microwave for around 30 seconds (depending on egg size and microwave power) for a quick, easy and mess free poached egg.

you can also make mini baked omlets in a muffin tin at home. Bake them in the oven if you have a 6 muffin tin and only want to make 4 just fill the empty ones with Water. Then just microwave at work!! I make mine with lost of vegges its always something different!

Sure do microwave eggs and egg beaters. I put mine in a mugg with a squirt of milk, pepper and zap for 40 seconds, take out, stir, and zap again. Quick and easy. If you are worried about the salmonella...don't be. Salmonella is found on the egg shell, not inside the egg. So, if you wash up after cracking you should have no problems.

I've zapped eggs before in a hurry, and make them for my son often when I don't feel like busting out pans, etc. Not bad at all, you'll be surprised I bet once you try it. They come out really fluffy too. Lol

Yes, I do this quite often for my toddler daughter. Get a plastic bowl (tuperware or whatever), spray with Pam. Add the egg, scramble, add just a touch of milk, scramble and microwave for 1 minute. Wa la, perfect! If you make two eggs, it is slightly longer in the microwave.

If you add too much milk, it will be runny. Just a touch of milk...

Good luck. Let me know who it turns out.

I do mine on the stove. It really doesn't take long. It only takes a couple of minutes for scrambled eggs. Lately, I've been eating an whole wheat english muffin with microwave turkey bacon, cheese, and one egg white. It takes maybe 5 minutes to make. I toast the heck out of the english muffin so it won't get stuck.

Yep, I use the microwave for eggs !

I put 2 small eggs, some rock salt & 45g of cottage cheese. I scramble them, 2 min in microwave stirring every 20 secs until they are cooked but still soft

:smile2:

Love 'em!

Rach.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
