So we had to get a new stove and I'm still learning this one's quirks, one of which is that it doesn't heat as quickly as my last stove, meaning I need to adjust my mental timing when planning meals/cooking things to make sure they are done on time. Or that my food is fully cooked before serving…
Eggs were on sale this week so I thought I'd whip up a batch of egg salad:
4 eggs
Mayo, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, simple!
Except my eggs were only partially cooked (think soft, squishy tomato consistency). I peeled one but threw away half of it as it stuck to the shell. Instead of reboiling the other three, I thought I'd speed things up and use the microwave, and yes I know things like eggs and potatoes tend to explode therein if not treated carefully. So I cracked the shell on Egg 1, threw it in and took it out the second it split in half and scooped out the cooked innards with a spoon, much easier than peeling!
Enter Egg 2, same treatment, except this one blew up quite spectacularly. It was a mess but I haven't had this much fun in the kitchen in ages!
Clean microwave and crack Egg 3 completely in half, perfect.
So there you have it, a new holiday tradition!
