how come microwaved eggs taste so sick?

pimple Posts: 490 Joined: 2003/07/08	2004/02/24, 08:16 PM I just had three egg whites with a whole egg, but instead of frying them the old fashion way, i decided to microwave them... not only did the final result look gross, it also tasted real bad... i had a hard time finishing them... can anyone tell me why they tasted any different? not only that, but was the taste the only difference, or did i 'lose' any of the eggs' nutritious elements by cooking them through radiation? thanks... -------------- 8.1 o_O http://www.hotornot.com/r/?eid=GEKZGLA&key=RLE

Not to worry about the radiation - microwaves cook by using friction of the water molecules "rubbing together". I use a microwave mug sprayed with a shot of PAM. Another hint: place a spoon in the mug. It helps to heat the center of egg more evenly. (It's okay to put a metal spoon in a microwave. Just don't use a fork or any other utensil that has edges where arcing could occur.) I like eggs that way. Quick, easy, and clean up is a breeze. Hope that helps. BTW, my neck aches every time I look at those head spins of yours. Man, that's gotta hurt! TSMD

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
