I use my microwave more than I would like to admit. *blushes*

I don't know about the electricity usuage of a microwave. That is a very interesting thought, though. I had always guessed that a microwave was efficient, at least by comparison to convential methods, because of the quicker cooking times. I would be interested to know what the real deal is!

I use my microwave a lot, too. I don't really have any recipes for it, though, as a lot of the things I put in there are already precooked either from the oven (leftovers) or a fast snack or fast lunch that came pre-packaged.

Does anyone cook eggs or pancakes in it.. I know pancakes come ready made..but can someone cook them from scratch in micro? Just a curious question.. Yes I use my micro alot..And when it's not used for cooking I put my bread in there ..so my cats don't paw the package and leave little holes in the bread bag..LOL

You can cook eggs in it if you 1. scramble them first or 2. break the yolk. I do this for egg sandwiches sometimes. I like to spray the plate I put them on first as they have a tendency to stick. I haven't tried pancakes...but I want to now! I'll try it this evening if we're not too busy...and let you know it went for me!

I heard that for scrambled eggs in the microwave you should add a Tablespoon of milk and butter..The milk keeps the eggs from turning green and the butter or margarine keeps them from sticking.
