Thank you Nancy, for your feedback The reason the yolk doesn't blow up in the microwave it's because it's not in long enough. Think about the way popcorn pops in a microwave. The moisture inside the popcorn kernel is heated from a liquid to a gas. When the gas is sufficient (steam) it causes the kernel to explode. If you put the popcorn in the microwave for only 40 seconds and took it out it wouldn't have enough time to create pressure to cause the explosion. And that's the reason the egg doesn't explode. It's because there's not enough time to build up the pressure. I appreciate the thumbs up, Mike

Michelle Everson, Hey thanks for the feedback. I will pass the word on to Toby. ♥ Mike ☺

Well George, I appreciate that. But if folks are going to take the time to write them, the least I can do is take the time to read them. I appreciate the feedback, Mike 🧓

dolphinsc1, thank you for the kind words and feedback. I hope you subscribed so you can keep an eye on what I do in the future, Mike ☺

Welcome back David! Once again as usual you are one of the early folks with kind words. I truly appreciate your feedback! As for Toby, it looks like he is more popular than I am, haha. Mike ☺

Thanks Mary, Toby says thank you also. I appreciate the feedback, Mike 🧔

Angie Dobson, Thanks! I appreciate your feedback. I will put you down for a Toby yes vote. Believe me, he's keeping track of every single one of them, haha. Mike ☺

That's a great way to do it! [Spraying oil and beating the egg] definitely helps the eggs cook evenly and come out nice and round. One minute per egg sounds perfect. I love that you use them for a breakfast sandwich for your husband - that's a delicious and time-saving idea for busy mornings. Thanks for sharing your tip! Mike 🧔

John Lemons, Okay John more Toby! Sorry I cannot reveal my secret unless somebody figures it out. For the record, the camera was not wrapped in anything, it was a GoPro camera sitting directly on the glass plate. By the way, the reason that popcorn is rough on microwaves is that as the popcorn cooks, the load diminishes because the moisture inside the popcorn turns to steam and gets vented out of the microwave. Everyone knows you should never operate a microwave with nothing in it. However by the time the popcorn is finished cooking, there's very little load left and that causes the magnetron to heat up resulting in premature death. That's why you should never try to pop every kernel of popcorn. When the kernel cracks from the manufacturing process, the moisture dries up and it will never ever expand and turn into popcorn. Mike ☺

@@KitchenTipsOnline what if you put something else in the microwave with the popcorn like a potato?

Thanks ☺

Will Mike, thank you so much for the thumbs-up and feedback! Mike ☺

Thanks for the kind words and the thumbs up. I appreciate the feedback, Mike 😁

Hi, Mike! First of all...Thank you so much for all of your videos! I thought I saw one of your videos where you made a Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit...but egg was the biscuit. I was at work and didn't get to see the recipe. I have scoured through so many of your videos and I now can't find it. I have to watch my carbs so regular biscuits are a no no. Can you tell me where to find it? BTW I just love Toby!❤

You're very welcome. Thank you for the kind words. I didn't make a video on an egg biscuit but I did make a video on how to make an Egg McMuffin at home. Here is the link for that, Mike kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLekedx51OCxfmw.html

Awesome detailed tip! Thanks for sharing, Mike 🧔

Bro, never use margarine. Butter is the healthier alternative.

Scrambled eggs are trash. Give me running yolks!

Gaila Gilliland, Thanks for the kind words and your feedback. Toby's getting a lot of love so it looks like he's going to be in future videos, haha. As far as making the eggs more firm in the microwave, all you need to do is set the timer on the microwave for just a little bit more time. You will have to test your particular microwave to determine how long that is. With my microwave, it would only be about 20 seconds longer. Mike ☺

I will tell Toby that you're a fan, thanks, Mike ☺

tom farley, Well then the next time I make a video, come on down! Ha Ha Thanks for your feedback, Mike ☺

Well I appreciate you watching lots of videos so I will tell you exactly how I did the camera in the microwave. I put a switch on the 120 volt side of the transformer that powers the magnetron. I installed the switch coming through the cover of the microwave at the top so I could turn off power to the transformer, thereby turning off power to the magnetron. As far as the lights, that was done post-production using a lens flare and Adobe Premiere. So there you have it!

​@@KitchenTipsOnline I'm thinking you would just set the power level to zero, and then after 10 seconds or so of recording, just remove the camera, and then cook at the correct proper level. Then no need for going through hassle to install a switch??

Empress Zaire, you are welcome my friend, thanks for your feedback, Mike ☺

Thanks Tom, I will let Toby know what you said. The reason I question whether or not to include Toby in videos is because I usually include him near the end of a video and noticed that 60% of the people stop watching the video just before Toby. Once again, thanks for your kind words. Mike ☺

Thank you for your comment! 😊 Corned Beef Hash and Scrapple are both classic breakfast staples with rich histories and unique flavors. Corned Beef Hash is a delicious combination of corned beef, potatoes, and onions, all fried together to create a savory and hearty dish. It’s a great way to use up leftover corned beef and can be enjoyed with eggs or on its own. Scrapple, on the other hand, is a traditional dish from the Pennsylvania Dutch, made from pork scraps and cornmeal, seasoned with spices, and then fried to crispy perfection. It’s a bit of an acquired taste for some, but many find it to be a comforting and flavorful addition to their breakfast plate. Both of these dishes definitely make for fabulous breakfast tucker! 🥓🍳 Maybe I’ll do a video on them in the future. Thanks for the suggestion, Mike 🧔

Thanks for the tip about making bacon using pam. If you cook two eggs in the microwave you'll probably get away without breaking the yolks. Just to be safe make sure the eggs are covered. Mike 🧔

Hi Arthur, thanks for checking out my video! I'm really glad you liked it. In the video, all the cooking was done using the highest microwave setting, which is 1100 watts on my microwave. How long you should cook your eggs depends on your microwave's power and the number of eggs you're cooking-whether it's two, three, or more. What I suggest is that you cook them on high power, but make sure to pay attention to how long it takes for the eggs to cook just the way you like them. If you're making three scrambled eggs, I'd recommend starting with 2 minutes as a baseline and adjusting from there to get the perfect result. Mike 🧔

@@KitchenTipsOnline I will give it a shot , mine is a medium sized microwave & so far anything over a minute the eggs would blow up , whether poaching , steaming , or scrambling in one of those earthen egg cookers with the lid with a little chimney on top that has me add a teaspoon of water to it , even if they're not done I have to add short times to finish but over a minute always ends with me cleaning my microwave .... BUT , I will give your method a try , THANKS for sharing & for Responding to my questions ...They did look very good ...Actually I do like soft scrambled eggs too & that putting them in the middle then stirring them together & giving them just a few more seconds I believe would make them come out Soft Scrambled , seems like I have a little experimenting to do...👍👍👍👋👋👋

You're very kind. Unfortunately Toby had liver problems and passed away. I miss my little buddy and think about him every day, Mike 🧔

My microwave is 1100 Watts. If you do a Google search you can find a method to test the current output of any microwave. I'm not sure of the exact procedure but I know it involves measuring the temperature of an exact amount of water before you start. Heating it for specific about a time and then measuring the temperature at the end of the time interval. That will give you an estimated current output of your microwave magnetron, Mike 🧔

I will tell Toby that you are a fan. Thanks for the feedback, Mike 🧔

The Journey, Wow! I had no idea Toby was so popular. Thanks for your vote, Mike ☺

R. Earl, Sorry Earl, I cannot divulge my secrets because I'm waiting for someone to figure it out. Nothing like a little mystery to keep life exciting 😉. Perhaps you saw near the end of the video where I put the bacon in the microwave with the camera running, then I took the finished cooked bacon out of the microwave on camera. Well not long after that I suggested that if anyone wants to try and figure out how we did the camera in the microwave, I would tell them if they were right. So far, no one has even come close. Mike ☺

You first placed the camera in the microwave. Then you sit the dish in the microwave and left the microwave door just barely open so light remained on. Them you stopped camera arranged bowl just a little in microwave. Left microwave door open a small amount so light stayed on. You continued this technique until bowl was position all the way around carousel. Use put in the sound of the microwave into the video and clipped together the little segments of moving the bowl inside microwave to make it seem like it was moving. Then you added special effects to video.

Sorry my friend that's not how I did it. Actually you can not barely hold the microwave door open and turn it on. There are three switches on the every microwave actuated by the two latches on the door that will cause the fuse to blow on the microwave in the event that the door is not completely closed and power is applied. For the record, the door was completely closed while the camera was inside and the turntable was going around.

@@KitchenTipsOnline Wow!!! You got me stumped.😕

Thank you so much Nancy! I would love to be able to show more Toby however, he had liver issues and passed away in March 😥 Mike
