Somebody asked me how to make good scrambled eggs in the microwave - So I figured that since it was an art very dependent on timing I'd make a little picture book.

Result of 12 voters
Key - Lovely: 2 points; Ummm: 1 points; Yeach: 0 points; (Average points in brackets)
(1) 10: With better lighting, and just ready to serve. - 10 voters (0.80) BAR
(2) 08: This is pretty much there, it will be a lot smoother now and easy to get to a consistent stodginess now... 10 seconds more will get it quite liquid but nicely cooked, 30 seconds more would make it dry and horrible, so this is the point to be really careful. - 2 voters (0.50) BAR

01: Add a few eggs, some milk, a decent dollop of butter, salt and pepper to a microwaveable bowl and lightly mix it all together.

02: Nuke it on full power for about 30 seconds, and pull it out and give it a stir. I have kept the lighting down on these pictures to better show the real consistency of the mixture.

03: Maybe another 20 seconds, it'll start to have set bits in it now, so stir it all up again.

04: Another 20 seconds... Get that hard stuff off the sides and keep it liquid - It's a good time to taste to check it is salted nicely now.

05: It will be setting a lot more quickly now... So cut down to about 15 seconds each stir.

09: This is 10 seconds from the last and is just about perfect, remember it will still be cooking even out of the microwave so don't get it too thick and dry at this stage.
