Kitchen Report

I’m in the process of having my kitchen renovated, which means I’ve been limited to my electric tea kettle and my microwave to make something hot to eat or drink when at home.

This morning I was wanting just some simple scrambled eggs but with the painters arriving by 8 a.m. I didn’t want to bother with scrubbing a pan in the bathroom because the kitchen sink is disabled at the moment.

Fortunately, many people have wondered how to scramble eggs in the microwave and in a matter of seconds I found my answer online.

I cringe a bit here. After all, how to scramble an egg was the first test that Julia Child encountered when she bravely enrolled in Cordon Bleu in France. But I think even Julia would understand, given the circumstances.

These turned out OK, edible and warm. If do you this more than once, you might try experimenting with amount of time you cook the eggs after you stir once.

Bon appétit!
