How does one make scrambled eggs in a microwave??

(I only can heat milk in the microwave  )

I get that too, especially if I am going to sleep and there is a noise.

I can't cook either, the best I can do is heat things up in the microwave. That is what I have just done for my dinner.

You scramble the egg before hand, put it in a bowl or cup  and put it in the microwave, watching it until it's done to your liking.  It comes out like an omelet rather than the curdish looking eggs.  I find they have a different taste when cooked in a microwave and don't particularly care for it.

i find that i have to stop the microwave every few seconds and rescramble, sometimes adding a little milk.  Egg cooks so quickly you have to time it just right, and keep it even, otherwise as QV said it goes a bit rubbery.  In my case,  plastered in brown sauce,  rubbery isn't that bad.   

Oh yeah i sometimes put cheese in it,  yummy yummy easy peasy

Cooking!   I was once very keen to make a 'go of it' when i took my

first cookery lesson in senior school.  I guess i was 12 years old.

Lesson 1
Toad in the hole
result  =  not bad at all

Lesson 2
Swiss roll
Our teacher informed us of the ingredients needed,  and she said to make
sure to bring a tin as well to take the swiss roll home in.
I  thought i was very smart by taking in a 'marvel tin'  as it was round and
oblong like the roll.   Huh...
Actually when it came out it looked quite good.  It certainly didn't stand
out from my classmates versions.  Feeling pleased i packed away and went
on my merry way home.

It went in the tin beautifully at school.  It had however expanded
inside the tin.  I tried to slide it out.  No joy.  Put knife in at opposite
ends and tried to coax it out.  It started to break up.

I always remember my brother nearly wetting himself with laughter as
my mom 'spooned' it out at the table. 

I seethed.  Red faced and humiliated.
I made up my mind, there and then that me and cooking
were over.!!

Bodie - Be glad you're not alone in kitchen missteps.

The first meal I cooked was french toast.  But I knew that food should be colorful, so I colored the egg mixture GREEN.  When cooked, green french toast gets a little golden in areas and is not at all appetizing.  Imagine a martian with scabs. I ended up eating all of the french toast because no one would touch it.  Moral of the story - if you like something a lot make it look unappetizing.  You can have it all then.

In truth whenever I'm cooking a dish for the first time I don't like anyone to help with the actual cooking because I need to react quickly if it's not turning out the way I think it should.
