What’s so great about using the
microwave to prepare your eggs?
Let us count the ways…
1 You can enjoy the freshness
and great taste of eggs in just minutes.
2 There’s minimal clean-up afterwards.
3 Having a hot egg-based meal for lunch at work or at school is
convenient, fast, and nutritious.
4 Special microwave cookware are available in stores so you can
make
hardcooked eggs, poached eggs, frittatas and omelettes.
5 By adding a few drops of water to eggs before microwaving them to create steam
for even-cooking and extra moisture, you end up using no extra fats (e.g., butter).
6 There is no hot oven or pan to worry about.
7 Kids can cook their own eggs,
anyway they like them.
