FFS. It takes about a minute to do scrambled eggs in a frying pan. The microwaved version always looks like cavity insulation foam.
It looks like it should be carved rather than served with a spoon!

Being a widower my culinary expertise was always pretty basic, hence my reliance on the microwave. My microwaved scrambled egg is edible enough - I'm not about to use it as a still life subject for a sculpture or painting. ;)

Also use the microwave to make my porridge as it limits the washing-up to a bowl and spoon.

We might disagree about your politics Stuffers but love the 'cut of your jib' about kitchen related practicalities.

Forget "Nigella". I to subscribe to those maestros d'cuisne for the REAL man....Col Esterol and Art Attak!!!! (y)(y)

Fair play.

My weekly scrambled egg is a bit of a ritual. On a Sunday morning after taking the dog out around 6:15* and visiting the car boot sale, I come home and always treat myself to scrambled egg on toast, orange juice and coffee.

No mucking about with whisks and milk. Toast on (granary preferred, dial no. 4), wee **** of butter in a small frying pan. Two big farm eggs, straight in, let them cook for 30 secs before touching them, season. Gently stir with a wooden spoon until no liquid visible in the pan. Heat off, butter the toast and serve. Sorted.

*Where's my medal, Jan?

There's no medal for 06:15, as well you know. Get up quarter of an hour earlier and I'll try to find the medal for you.

Never done this before

Just sounds bizarre for a Sunday, unless you've just got in from the binge.

Just how I do my scrambled eggs. Couldn't be easier.
