Times of day (obviously varies) and libraries aside, must you reply to well-known trolls? OB Food: Here's a recipe for a (microwave) Breakfast Casserole I posted January, 2000, and I'm planning to make it this morning :) Breakfast Casserole 2 Tbs. butter or margarine 1 Tbs. chopped onion 8 eggs, beaten 1/3 c. milk 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. dried parsley flakes 1/4 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 c. cubed cooked ham or browned sausage (well drained) 3/4 c. sliced fresh mushrooms 1 c. shredded cheddar cheese In 2 qt. casserole, combine butter, onion and mushrooms. Microwave on Medium until butter melts and onion is clear, 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. In mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, salt, parsley, rosemary and cayenne. Beat until well blended. Pour into casserole with butter and onion. Stir in ham or sausage, mushrooms and half the cheese. Microwave on High 7-8 minutes, stirring 2-3 times, until eggs are set yet still moist. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Microwave 1 minute on Medium. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand until cheese fully melts and eggs are a little more set. Stir before serving. Jill |

It requires stirring because #1 you have to whisk the eggs and other ingredients together. #2 Because unless you want the egg-based casserole to be hard as a brick in some spots and gooey in others, you have to stir it while it's cooking. This is not difficult to understand. Apparently you've never actually cooked anything (other than a TV dinner) in a microwave oven. Jill |

Eggs do cook quite well in the microwave but don't cook evenly. Stirring them every minute or two (or sometimes every 30 seconds!) gives excellent results and it is a lot faster than baking. ;-) I only asked because the convection oven would brown the top while microwaving won't. -- Peace!

Putting a cast iron chicken fryer into the microwave *would* be inappropriate. I don't see anything inherently wrong with the recipe Jill posted. I know you have this sequoia up your ass about margarine, but it's an alternate ingredient, and the recipe clearly says "butter" in the directions. So what exactly do you find inappropriate? Bob |

There's nothing wrong with that cooking method. In fact, in some ways it's superior to cooking in a pan, because many people find browned bits of egg objectionable, and the microwave makes it easy to avoid that. Bob |

So 20seconds MW, open door, stir, close door, 20seconds MW becomes a bit tedious. A pan is easier for me. But I can see a market for a microwave stirrer. Sort of like the turntable, but mounted from the top, and spinning a bit faster. Anybody know if such a thing exists? -j |

Just 'cause you don't know how... ;-) There are real techniques to microwave cooking to make food turn out right. And it's not difficult unless one is too closed minded or too stubborn and set in their ancient ways to learn!
