The Lazy Cook

My first post under this title was some five and a half years ago and concerned doing porridge in the microwave.  But it's only recently that I've realised you can use the same basic method to do scrambled eggs.  Can't be quite so precise because much depends on the size of the eggs, their freshness and how you like your scramblies - runny or firm.  But here's the technique - lightly brush the inside of a cereal bowl with oil (otherwise it'll be a bugger to wash later on!) and crack two eggs into it. Add a splash of milk, season and whisk.  Microwave on full power for one minute. Take out, stir well and microwave for a further 30 seconds.  Take out and stir again.  And this is where I can't be too specific - all I can say is continue to microwave in 10 second bursts until the consistency is to your liking.  As with the porridge post, watch you don't burn yourself on the bowl, and remember my microwave is 650w - you may need to adjust the timings for your machine.
