NWR: do you think its gross to...

Girls, I am getting bored of my typical lunch. Im a teacher and only have 40 mins to eat so i alsways bring my lunch. Theres no time to go out and buy.
Anywa, I eat really well and try to eat clean all week as much as i can. Do you think its gross to make eggs tonite and heat them in the microwave tom. for lunch? I just cant eat anymore chicken this week. I might start to grow feathers

like scrambled eggs?

I dont think they would be too good re-heated. Why dont you make egg salad tonight and bring that with you for lunch? I use 2 good 2 grams of fat mayo and 1 whole hard boil egg and then just one egg white and I even toss in 2-3 sliced green olives to give it more taste. My mom puts mustard in hers but I dont like that.

ETA for spelling.

What about making hard boiled eggs or make egg salad and you dont have to eat it with bread.

I try not to eat frozen or processed foods. (only frozen veggies)

i see, makes sense. so options are limited....hmmmmmm

you can microwave eggs to cook them:



For successful cooking of eggs in your microwave, keep these few points in mind:

EGGS MICRO-COOKED IN THEIR SHELLS WILL EXPLODE!

Omelets, scrambled eggs and poached eggs micro-cook well on full power (high).

Even out of the shell eggs may explode in the microwave because rapid heating causes a buildup of steam. Always use a wooden pick or tip of a knife to break the yolk membrane of an unbeaten egg before micro-cooking to allow the steam to escape.

Covering cooking containers with a lid, plastic wrap or wax paper encourages more even cooking and - if you forgot to prick the yolks - helps to confine the explosion!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fried Eggs - Break and slip one (1) egg into each of two lightly-greased 10-ounce custard cups or a pie plate. Gently prick yolks with tip of knife or wooden pick. Cover with plastic wrap. Cook on 50% power just until eggs are almost desired doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand, covered until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard.

Hard-Cooked Eggs - Separate yolks and whites of eggs into two lightly -greased liquid measures or small bowls. Stir yolks with fork. Cover each container with plastic wrap. Cook separately on 50% or 30% power, stirring once or twice, allowing about 20 to 30 seconds per yolk, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per white. Remove when slightly underdone. Let stand, covered, about 2 minutes. Cool long enough to handle comfortably, then chop or chill until ready to chop.

Poached Eggs - Pour 1/3 cup water into 10-ounce custard cup or small deep bowl. Break and slip in two eggs. Gently prick yolks with tip of knife or wooden pick. Cover with plastic wrap. Cook on full power about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. If necessary, let stand, covered, until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour off water to serve in custard cup or lift out with slotted spoon. NOTE: For 4 eggs, use 2/3 cup water in 1-quart bowl or baking dish. Cook 1 1/2 to 3 minutes and let stand as above.

Scrambled Eggs - In 10-ounce custard cup, beat together 2 eggs, and 2 tablespoons milk with salt and pepper to taste, if desired, until blended. Cook on full power, stirring once or twice, until almost set, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir. If necessary, cover with plastic wrap and let stand until eggs are thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 1 minute. NOTE: All microwave cooking times are based on a full power output of 600 to 700 watts. For a lower wattage oven, allow more time.

1 egg: 30 to 45 seconds

2 eggs: 1 to 1-1/2 minutes

4 eggs: 2-1/2 to 3 minutes

6 eggs: 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 minutes

8 eggs: 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 minutes

what about getting a microwavable omlette maker? we got ours from bb&b. just bring eggs and spinach to school and heat it all up together in the micro for a freshly made omlette!

thanks for that info

I think that could get stinky in the microwave!
I like making turkey salad with leftover turkey. Same with tuna.
