Microwave omelette

[christopher575]

As promised, I tried to make an omelette using a microwave and a plate today. It didn't go as smoothly as I thought it would. Microwaves are known to have a hard time heating things evenly. The turntable helps a lot with that, but as you can see below, there's still a cold spot. In fact, this experiment was a good way to map out where all the cooking power goes in my microwave.



I cooked it in 30-second bursts, hoping the center would finally fluff up. It refused. Not wanting the edges to get all dried out and hard, I took it out, folded it in half, and swirled the liquid parts around the outer edges of the cooked parts. After 30 more seconds, it was mostly done; enough that by the time I ate it, it'd be fine. But it sure was ugly. I decided to dress it with a little cheese and salsa so you wouldn't wonder how I could possibly gag it down.



It actually wasn't significantly better or worse than any omelette I've made in a pan. I'm really not a good cook, so they always break or look like Freddy Krueger's ass cheek. Fillings could have easily been slid in there before I folded it. But unless I get a wild hair, I'll stick with the bowl. It's easier, for one thing. I just put the bowl in the microwave for 1:15 (two eggs, today's was three) and it comes out perfect. It's also much cleaner. The plate I cooked it on is covered with chunks of egg I'm not looking forward to scrubbing off.
