After fearing for my life a handful of times, I've decided that I'd rather cover the cup/bowl/receptacle with a damp paper towel. It won't help with the eggs exploding, but it won't make so much noise when they finally do.

I am a simple man.

I see egg.

I scramble egg.

[itisnotlogical]

Preposterous.

It is not logical to cook eggs in a microwave?

I mean scrambled eggs take like 5 minutes anyway

I tried doing a poached egg in the microwave because I'm tired of messing with crappy pans and melted spatulas. It turned out great, except for it exploding with the force of a hand grenade in the microwave. My only sin was doing it for exactly ten seconds longer than the recipe said.

Did you pierce the yolk?

Edit: though I see something similar was recommended.

[itisnotlogical]

I do pierce the yolk, but it hardens from the outside in and forms pockets of steam anyway.

Including 4 to heat the pan/oil while you beat air into the eggs.

That's part of the problem. For a poached egg, you don't want the yolk to solidify at all. Completely cooked white, and the yolk should be a thickened liquid. Fancier than over easy, but mostly the same result.

The spatulae were melted before I ever began to cook, and the pans were just cheap.

I have become adept at toaster-oven cooking.

I have a toaster oven and a minifridge in my office. Yesterday I made a scrambled egg patty to put on a bagel. I often get pork chops to broil. I make pancakes in there for breakfast.

[Mephisto]

Yeah yeah, but can you poach an egg in it?

ACCEPTED

And I will post the results, no matter how horrific.

[Wizard of Manaia]

Yes poach that egg.
Vinegar the water so it coagulates the egg quicker. Not sure if its vinegar or just has to be more acidic. Probably the latter.
I want to see the egg!

Decided to cook rice last night to bulk out my planned meal of refried beans in tortillas. Unfortunately I cooked way too much rice (and didn't think to only add some of it, probably because I was hungry and in a rush) so it was a fairly dry meal, but at least it filled me up!

Also my housemate offered up some hot sauce for inclusion, but after how much he hyped up the spiciness I only added a single drop to the mix. That was supposed to be enough. It wasn't.
I had a bit more with my leftover beans and rice, though. It was p. good!
