If you cook an egg in shell in the microwave, it’s likely to explode. Microwaves heat so quickly that steam builds up faster than an egg can ‘exhale’ it through its pores and the steam bursts through the shell. All models of microwave ovens tend to cook foods unevenly, leaving cold spots.
Do you need milk with scrambled eggs?
Milk and sour cream water scrambled eggs down and to us, the cream is just unnecessary. If you use quality, fresh eggs and cook them low and slow (more on that below), you don’t need anything else. I make my scrambled eggs without milk or cream and keep the recipe simple by only whisking quality eggs and salt together.
