Talking about eggs in the MW...DS's GF was telling me she decided to boil

mess <grin>.

Eggs and microwaves just don't mix, no matter how you do it.

That is true. I'd add that raw meat/fish and microwaves don't mix
either.

Heh. I've got one of those 'combo' MWs - it has the convection oven/grill
option too. I've used it to warm up garlic bread and pizzas - but I don't
think I've ever cooked a full meal in it since I got it 5 or 6 years ago.
I use it primarily for re-heating food and only for defrosting if I'm
really in a hurry - IMHO, it doesn't just defrost, it par-cooks the meat
around the edges if you are not extremely careful with the timing. The
'cookbook' that came with it claims that you can 'roast a beef tenderloin'
in it. I haven't bothered to find out...

Egg tastes better when it's not on your face...
