Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2007Wahing up is easier without cats
Dave asked me today for scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast Made them surprisnly better than I thought then washed up the pan since all scrambled egg pans need cleaning and if anyone can make them without ending up with egg stuck to the pan please tell me how! So I reached for the scourer ...Sarsi has run off with them all to play with The washing up brush? There was one here I only brought it last week- Sarsi ditto If I didn't have cats I could wash up better! Who cares? Dunzi just looked at me with love which is worth a ,million burned pans Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Dave asked me today for scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast > > Made them surprisnly better than I thought then washed up the pan > since all scrambled egg pans need cleaning and if anyone can make them > without ending up with egg stuck to the pan please tell me how! LOL. I don't have a problem. I do use a teflon pan, but this works without non-stick coating too. Melt a dab of butter in the pan over fairly high heat. Make sure the entire bottom of the pan gets covered. Dump a couple of eggs into the pan, Stirred up with a bit of water or milk added, or just crack them into the pan. Turn the heat way down or completely off. Once they start to set, loosen them from the pan with a pancake turner so the soft part can run underneath. Once there is no liquid left, turn them over so the less cooked part is on the pan. Break or "scramble" them as much as you like at this point. If the aren't done, turn the heat back on just long enough to get them done. For me, all the eggs will turn out onto a plate at this point and the pay will be practically clean. Its a little slower than the way I learned to cook them, stirring over fairly high heat, but I make the time back up with not having a burnt pan.

Hi Adrian Will ignore the obvious jokes about the typing error if you explain how to scramble eggs in a microwave Reminds me of the other thing I did with eggs yesterday- a week or so back I got something that claims to make poached eggs in a microwave...well I love poached eggs and it was only 92p so I got one and tried it yesterday Results were pretty good, nice to be able to make a snack in 2 minutes flat (The toast took longer as I don't consider bread to be properly toasted until it has black bits on the crust- and I am weird (apart from generally) for just loving the end slices on a loaf- sandwich bars throw them away- Dave won't touch them but for me they are the best bit)) However note to self: The instructions said medium setting, next time remember the instructions since doing it on high means you know your eggs are done when the lids on the poacher fly come off explosively so you spent 2 minutes doing the eggs and 10 miniutes cleaning the inside of the microwave Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs >>> I always cook scrambled eggs in the microwave, much easier, and >>> easy to wash the bowel as well.

Tip them out on some kitchen towell to absorb the excess moisture, then put them on toast and eat. > Reminds me of the other thing I did with eggs yesterday- a week or so > back I got something that claims to make poached eggs in a [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > flat (The toast took longer as I don't consider bread to be properly > toasted until it has black bits on the crust- and I am weird We know you're weird, that's why we love you. ;o) > (apart from generally) for just loving the end slices on a loaf- sandwich > bars throw them away- Dave won't touch them but for me they are the [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk >>>> I always cook scrambled eggs in the microwave, much easier, and >>>> easy to wash the bowel as well.

Even better than milk, use single or double cream. This eliminates the "drain excess moisture" step - there isn't any! (You need a lot less milk or cream than you would normally use in a saucepan or bain marie). Don't forget the seasoning - salt, pepper, worcestershire sauce, etc. SignatureMatSav > We know you're weird, that's why we love you. ;o) Best compliment I have had all day! Thanks! (And I am not in a good mood today a "friend" has invited me out for a drink tomorrow, knowing this person just to gloat...as I said to the lovely Colin mine usually excellent host last night "What will we do?" and he said "Just have to give it up?" so I said "What going to the pub?"- a little unfair it's no fun running a pub in East London where local pubs are closing left right and centre- I kid you not the other night 3 of us could name 26 pubs that have closed between Whitechapel and Stratford....about 6 miles and we didn't take more than 5 minutes to do and most of those have gone in the last 3 years) Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs >> We know you're weird, that's why we love you. ;o) > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs I've no doubt a few more will close now people can't smoke in them, I do sympathise with those that make their living from them.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Will ignore the obvious jokes about the typing error if you explain > how to scramble eggs in a microwave Beat and season the eggs in the bowl (I use a corning-ware ramekin). Cook in 30-second increments, strring well each time. (If your microwave allows you to select power settings, I use 50% power - 70% if I'm in a hurry). You can do just plain eggs, or beat in a bit of milk or cream, if that's how you prefer them. You can also put a pat of butter in to melt as they cook, but they don't really require any fat. (I often use a teaspoonful of fresh salsa for each egg, instead - and add shredded cheddar before the final 30 seconds.) >>Dave asked me today for scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > I always cook scrambled eggs in the microwave, much easier, and easy to wash > the bowel as well. Me too! Also, I use a non-stick spray on any pan or bowl I use for ANYTHING that might stick to the cooking vessel. ("Pam" is the most advertised, here in the U.S., but there are a number of others - less advertised, hence less expensive.) |
