OP,

To avoid the mess of exploded egg goo when cooking an egg in a microwave, first line the inside of the microwave with aluminum foil.

Shell we give up on this and may I take my egress?

Egress if you must, my fried friend--and with well-earned dignity and grace. But I claim the coveted egghead crown.

E-ggads, not another half-boiled self-proclaimed frothing eggspert! Air Marshal, we have a skirmish on our hands, QUICK, scramble the jets.

An egghead's work is never well-done!

Take it over easy, you guys, will you? No need to get eggro. As Monty told the Taureggs, all is not lost when your day is sunny side up. Or was he talking to the man from Monteneggro?

Well. we can all take comfort in the fact that our writing has evolved beyond the embryonic stage.

I don't mean to be an eggotistical show off, but my writing is well mature.

If you want a super easy and quick way of cleaning the mess out the microwave, microwave a bar of soap in there.

You mean the OP can have his cake and egg it too?

[scottishjohn]

Lets stop egging him on he will only foam at the mouth and burst his soapy bubble!

Seriously (yes seriously) i would love to see the outcome of a solid bar of carbolic soap egploding in a microwave oven. It would certainly clean out not only the microwave but the whole kitchen, or what was left of it.

I cook 95% of my eggs in the microwave. There are a couple of ways to do it, all require removing the egg from the shell. If you want sunny side up, or over medium, lightly oil a bowl or dish thats not flat. Crack open and deposit egg(s) on plate, ''nuke'' for a minute on high. Any longer and it starts to pop. give it 10 seconds, and do again for a minute. Wait 10 seconds, do 30-60 seconds, depending on your microwave performance. At this point you flip the egg over if desired. Then 30 seconds, and done.

Scrambled even easier, in a bowl, lightly oiled, put eggs in for a minute on high, then stir around with a fork. Another minute, stir, finish with another 30-60 seconds, and done.

Omelets same, in a bowl, 1 minute, 10second wait, 1 minute cook, 10 seconds wait, 1 minute cook, leave for 10 seconds (continues to cook on its own). If center is still runny, you can use a Chinese spoon to flip it and do for another 30 seconds. Ive done hundreds of these with bacon, ground pork cooked already, onions, whatever, and finished the last 30 seconds with a slice of cheese on top. Clean up is easy and no frying pan to mess with.

doint the graveyard shift, duty tech in the ATC tower.

Batphone rings, with the ATC officer reporting a Fault.

I ready, and when heading for the stairs he comes running down, and takes me to the kitchen.

Bluddy officers are supposed to be the cream of the crop - well, this one creamed the microwave.

The usual microwave egg problem has completely lined the uwave's insides.

Get it cleaned up, and lecture him on eggs, and these ovens do not mix well with unshelled sealed eggs - tho' this one really did...

...mentioning the effect on the egg membrane, which needs to be able to breathe to minimise exlosion.

Later - another call, and it's back to the kitchen again. Silly bugga had taken me literally, and had pierced a small pin prick hole in the egg.

Result: A nice neat Saturns' ring of egg has created this little horizontal Great Wall of China inside the oven.

At least it saved me lecturing him on the theory of Jets (action and reaction), after his little demo of dumb and dumberness...
