I was taught years ago that egg yolks would burst in a microwave unless they were pierced first! What a relief to see that’s not true. I only recently discovered this channel and am learning a lot. Thanks.
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
@@KitchenTipsOnline can you tell me how long poached eggs would need to be in the microwave for it to blow up? Did you hear about the woman who was hospitalized because the egg exploded after she took it out of the microwave?
I was taught years ago that egg yolks would burst in a microwave unless they were pierced first! What a relief to see that’s not true. I only recently discovered this channel and am learning a lot. Thanks.
I'm grateful for your support and kind words! It's important to note that egg yolks can indeed explode in microwave ovens given enough time. As demonstrated in the video, my approach involves closely monitoring the timing and removing the egg before the liquid inside the yolk turns to steam. I have another video that you might find interesting. It includes 11 original kitchen tips. I will include the link. Thanks for your feedback, Mike 🧔 th-cam.com/video/MMvBho2c1h4/w-d-xo.html
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 🧓
I do eggs in a microwave all the time. I spray oil in a small bowl and beat an egg in it. 1 min. For 1 egg. 2 min. For 2 eggs. The eggs come out round and I put on bagel with a piece of sausage and cheese for my husband to take to work.
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 🧔
Hi, you provide a link to a general products page, but not a direct link to that red cover. What are the advantages of the cover? I looked at the page, for the cover. Does it have this description: "Pack of 2 Splatter Guard, Collapsible Microwave Food Cover, Colander Kitchen Gadget for Food,10.5inch,..."
Dan, it must not be available in a two pack anymore maybe that's the problem. Here is the Amazon link. It's under $10. Thanks for reaching out and your support, Mike 🧔 amzn.to/3Zn4Mvg
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 🧔
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 ☺
I use a desert dish. First I coat the bottom and sides generously with margarine then add three eggs and whip up with a fork. Place in a 1200 watt microwave for 30 seconds, remove and stir. Put back for another 20 seconds, remove and stir. Put back in for 15 seconds and stir again. If you want them done a bit more maybe another ten seconds. Tastes great every time. Sometimes I add diced ham or sausage.
Yes, MORE TOBY! I had no idea that microwaves lost power over time but why popcorn Mike? I was trying to figure out how the heck you got a camera to work in there, but all I can come up with is it's wrapped in something. GREAT video 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 ☺
It’s been awhile since I’ve cooked eggs in the microwave. When I did I would put the eggs in a bowl with some milk and butter. Scramble it. Nice and fluffy scrambled eggs ❤
I luvvit! I once thought of making a cook book for guys that got out of high school without thinking about how to cook, such as what canned foods mix well in a single pan... I think I'll leave it to you Brother
Hey there! Thanks so much for both your comments and for watching my video. 😊 I'm thrilled to hear that you loved it! Creating a cookbook for guys who are just starting out in the kitchen is an awesome idea! Cooking can seem daunting at first, but with simple and practical recipes, it becomes a lot of fun. Mike 🧔
If your not making bacon can you use pam to spray your dish with a little water for sunny side eggs? Do you have to pop the yolks (two) before microwaving for one minute with cover?
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 🧔
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 ☺
Interesting video and cool microwave tip, which I'll share with my sister. However, I always cook eggs in a cast iron skillet, as I do many things. Nice channel.
Appreciate the love! Who knew microwaves could be so versatile, right? Happy to hear you'll be sharing the eggcellent news with your sister. I'm with you - a properly seasoned cast iron skillet definitely makes better-tasting eggs. 😊🍳 Mike 🧔
Thank you for your videos! They are so fun and informative and you are an expert food scientist. I learn so much from these videos. And how in the world can a GoPro survive in the microwave without getting fried? I thought you’d couldn’t put anything metallic in the microwave. More Toby! Much appreciate you.
Shelly you are absolutely correct the wattage of the microwave has a big effect on how long something Cooks. The microwave I used in the video is 1000 watts. I sold it when I sold that house. Here is the equivalent microwave on Amazon if you want to check it out. Mike amzn.to/3UCIYKH

Great video about cooking eggs, Mike! Yes please keep Toby in your videos as he is a Dora Ball. How would I make hard cooked eggs instead of sunny side up eggs in the microwave? ♥️♥️♥️
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 ☺
Just found your channel tonight... wow I'm watching a lot of your vids! Camera in the microwave... you used a microwave with a magnetron that didn't work but working light and turntable. The food was cooked in another microwave and put in uncooked then cooked in the one with the non-working magnetron.
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??
Hi MIKE , thoroughly enjoyed ur video ...I wayched it 3 times & nowhere could i find any Power Settings for cooking the 3 scrambled eggs , coz the amounts of times you stated seemed to be too much at a full power setting even for a smaller liwer power microwave ...And the same for the Veggies & the Bacon ... Power settings would be real helpfull BEFORE I attempt to blow up my breakfast , LOL...🥚🥚🥚🍳🍳🍳🌶🌶🌶🥓🥓🥓
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...👍👍👍👋👋👋
Of course I want to see more of Toby! I love sunny side up eggs so I was delighted to see this video. I can’t wait to see your poached eggs video because I love those too.
It appears this comment was posted in 2019 and here we are in 2024 and it’s very common here in San Diego to be as high as $12. That’s insane inflation 😕
Scrolls down through the comments and you will see I have answered your question a couple of times. I think you'll find it's actually pretty easy, Mike 🧔
Thanks Nancy I appreciate it. Unfortunately Toby had liver issues and passed away in the spring of this year. I think about him every day. He was my little buddy, Mike 🧔
I thought that was Mark Hamill looking into the microwave/camera at first 👍🏻 Thanks for the helpful cooking tips, including the bottle trick!🙂 More of Toby for sure 🐶
1982 I worked at a deli when microwaves were getting popular. We would place an egg in a plastic bucket, break the yoke to make/sell egg sandwiches. Scrambled also. yuck. Of course back then, major cold cut distributers sold breaded tuna, egg, chicken and shrimp salad and our customers really didin't know the difference.
Yeah unfortunately my little buddy Toby the dog in the video had to be put down. He had major liver issues. Thanks for your feedback. But you're not likely to see a cat anytime soon, haha, Mike 👍🧔
Hey Mike, As always an awesome great video. With great cooking tips. Thank you for sharing it. Yes, I want to see more of Toby. How could anyone not like Toby? Many thumbs up on your video & channel. I hope you and your family and Toby have a Blessed Week.
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 ☺
Humorous bit is Toby is basically the spitting image of my dog Lol Recipes pretty good as well. Though you don't need special microwave covers. There is a reason they invented saucers.
What power is your microwave? I glad you shared that microwave'd lose their power over time. I know the best one is a 1100 watt. Mine is only 900 do I have to cook things longer. Having said that it probably isn't even ,900 now b/c I've had it do long. Please advise. Thank You! Much appreciated!
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 🧔
Unfortunately the exact one that I have is no longer available but the replacement from what appears to be the same company it's just a little bit bigger. I moved it to the top of the store for you. I appreciate your support! 😀 Here is the link, Mike 🧔 amzn.to/3uSTpjl
@@KitchenTipsOnline Thanks Mike, I use a 800w microwave (23 years old). What percentage of time should I increase to obtain the results shown in your video? You see I have been watching other egg cooking videos and never obtain the results in the times stated.
David Harrington, thanks for your feedback, I will tell Toby that you are a fan. He makes an appearance in our video about air fryers. I will include the link in case you have not seen the video, Mike ☺ th-cam.com/video/2ypfmtGN0Ro/w-d-xo.html

Ah, I think I see the issue here! My grandmother always told me the trick is to use medium-sized chickens and small eggs for the best results. She used to say that large chickens have too much leg room, and the eggs get distracted while trying to cook. Try switching to a medium chicken, and those eggs will be sizzling in no time! Mike 🧔
I misunderstood you. Personally I would not use paper plates. I don't think you'll be satisfied with the results of either the bacon or the egg, 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 th-cam.com/video/RQtFyHozMN8/w-d-xo.html
It's a challenge in a microwave to cook eggs without making the yokes hard. Check out this video and perhaps you will prefer this method of microwave cooking an egg, Mike 🧔 th-cam.com/video/ZJAnf08Y8yk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jBJrSRXqDo7QgShT
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.

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??
I think To y is a great addition to your videos. Hope To y makes more guest appearances. AWWWWWWW.
You're very kind. Unfortunately Toby had liver problems and passed away. I miss my little buddy and think about him every day, Mike 🧔
Cool dog! Toby 🐕👍. Love the bacon and eggs in the microwave. I'm going to try that.
Thanks for your feedback, I will tell Toby that you are a fan, Mike 🙂
Thank you so much. My husband loves eggs.
Thanks Darcy! Nice to hear from you again. I always appreciate your feedback, Mike 🧔
Hi MIKE , thoroughly enjoyed ur video ...I wayched it 3 times & nowhere could i find any Power Settings for cooking the 3 scrambled eggs , coz the amounts of times you stated seemed to be too much at a full power setting even for a smaller liwer power microwave ...And the same for the Veggies & the Bacon ... Power settings would be real helpfull BEFORE I attempt to blow up my breakfast , LOL...🥚🥚🥚🍳🍳🍳🌶🌶🌶🥓🥓🥓
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...👍👍👍👋👋👋
I love Toby and your videos.
Thank you Sharon, I will tell Toby that you are a fan. I appreciate the kind words, Mike 🧓
I'm disabled so cooking on the stove is hard for me. This looks so much easier!Thank you. XD
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback, Mike 🧔
Of course I want to see more of Toby! I love sunny side up eggs so I was delighted to see this video. I can’t wait to see your poached eggs video because I love those too.
Dori, Thanks for the kind words. More Toby it is the. Mike ☺
Thank you sir. You just saved me money from the cafeteria downstairs. They charge $6 dollars for an egg sandwich.
Empress Zaire, you are welcome my friend, thanks for your feedback, Mike ☺
It appears this comment was posted in 2019 and here we are in 2024 and it’s very common here in San Diego to be as high as $12. That’s insane inflation 😕
Hi.
Pls, How to put camera in microwave?
Scrolls down through the comments and you will see I have answered your question a couple of times. I think you'll find it's actually pretty easy, Mike 🧔
Love seeing Toby
Thanks Nancy I appreciate it. Unfortunately Toby had liver issues and passed away in the spring of this year. I think about him every day. He was my little buddy, Mike 🧔
Toby is adorable. I love seeing him! My son too, who loves your videos!
Thanks Amy, for taking the time to leave feedback! I appreciate it, Mike 🙂
Well of course we Love Toby 💙
Michelle Mcbride, I will tell Toby that you're a fan, ☺
I did try my baked potato like you said. I used a different container than you but ....it honestly worked. Thank You for sharing.
Thanks for having the courtesy to come back and leave feedback! I appreciate it, Mike 🧔
I thought that was Mark Hamill looking into the microwave/camera at first 👍🏻
Thanks for the helpful cooking tips, including the bottle trick!🙂
More of Toby for sure 🐶
Perhaps it was Mark Hamill, haha. I will tell Toby that you are a fan! Thank you for the feedback, Mike 🙂
1982 I worked at a deli when microwaves were getting popular. We would place an egg in a plastic bucket, break the yoke to make/sell egg sandwiches. Scrambled also. yuck. Of course back then, major cold cut distributers sold breaded tuna, egg, chicken and shrimp salad and our customers really didin't know the difference.
Oh yeah, the good old days when microwave ovens were considered to be the best thing since sliced bread. Thanks for your feedback, Mike 🧔
Fewer dogs, more cats! Seriously, though, this is great - I plan to give the scrambled eggs a try soon!
Yeah unfortunately my little buddy Toby the dog in the video had to be put down. He had major liver issues. Thanks for your feedback. But you're not likely to see a cat anytime soon, haha, Mike 👍🧔
Hi I love the video, will be watching others. What kind of glass bowl is that what you put the eggs in? Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words Randall, I appreciate the feedback. I cooked the eggs in a glass pie dish that you can get anywhere including Amazon. Mike 🧔
@@KitchenTipsOnline ok thank you sir!
@@randallland6739 You're welcome 🧔
Hey Mike, As always an awesome great video. With great cooking tips. Thank you for sharing it. Yes, I want to see more of Toby. How could anyone not like Toby? Many thumbs up on your video & channel. I hope you and your family and Toby have a Blessed Week.
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 ☺
Oh yes, more Toby.
Marilyn McClintock, Thanks, Toby seems to have a lot of fans. ☺ Mike
Awesome :) I think I will try this to make canadian bacon/ham and eggs.
Okay Lauren, when you make you're Canadian ham and eggs, please come back and let me know how it turns out, Mike 🙂
Humorous bit is Toby is basically the spitting image of my dog Lol Recipes pretty good as well. Though you don't need special microwave covers. There is a reason they invented saucers.
MIKE! This was awesome!
Thanks for the kind words and the thumbs up. I appreciate the feedback, Mike 😁
Keep Toby, he is so cute😊💕
Thanks I will tell Toby what you said, Mike 🧓
Toby is fun to watch so let him be a star😎
I will tell Toby that you are a fan! Thanks for the feedback, Mike 🧔
The sunny side eggs up look delicious. I wish you had cut them so we could see the runny yolk.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes I agree with you it would have been a better demonstration had I cut the yolk. Mike 🧔
What power is your microwave? I glad you shared that microwave'd lose their power over time.
I know the best one is a 1100 watt. Mine is only 900 do I have to cook things longer. Having said that it probably isn't even ,900 now b/c I've had it do long. Please advise.
Thank You! Much appreciated!
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 🧔
Thanks!!!! 🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚😊😊😊😊😊
I appreciate the feedback! Mike 🧔
To by or not To by? That is the question. Yes, definitively more TOBY in your show.
Okay thanks I will tell him that you are a fan. 😊
Toby is like a walking cartoon! Love the video!
Yes Toby is a hoot! Thank you for the feedback, Mike 🙂
I love seeing Toby!!
Thanks 🧔
Could not find the chopper in the link. I liked your's because it was small.
Unfortunately the exact one that I have is no longer available but the replacement from what appears to be the same company it's just a little bit bigger. I moved it to the top of the store for you. I appreciate your support! 😀 Here is the link, Mike 🧔 amzn.to/3uSTpjl
Love Toby!!! ❤️
I will tell Toby that you are a fan, Mike 🙂
More Toby 👍👍👍
Jimmy Reuben, Now I know, Toby has a lot of fans. Thanks for your feedback. Mike
Nice montage , trippy
Thanks 🧔
I wonder what power the microwave that Mike is using? Is it a 800w or 900w etc.?
It's actually 1100 watts. But keep in mind that as microwaves get older, their power diminishes. Especially if you cook a lot of popcorn. Mike 🧔
@@KitchenTipsOnline Thanks Mike, I use a 800w microwave (23 years old). What percentage of time should I increase to obtain the results shown in your video? You see I have been watching other egg cooking videos and never obtain the results in the times stated.
There are too many variables for me to be able to give you a specific time. You will simply have to experiment and see how it goes, Mike
@@KitchenTipsOnline Thanks Mike, I did not think that one could pin a time down, but nevertheless I thought that I would air the point!
I love Toby 😭
Marilena Barrera, ha ha, thanks, I will tell Toby that you are a fan. Mike ☺
Nice dog. I loved. Thanks for your tips. But can I cook pieces of bacon, the cooking cheap bacon? Not the rashes
Yes you can!
This guy is obviously some kind of wizard or man witch.. I can't stop watching.. Help me.. please..
Well that's better than what my former spouse used to call me! 🤪
Love microwave recipes
Thanks 🧔
Amazing
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.🧔
MORE TOBY!!! 🐕💕😊💕🐕😊🐕
Renette Hicks, more Toby it is! Thanks for your feedback. I will tell Toby that you are a fan. Mike ☺
Ok well try this out thanks
You're welcome. I hope you have the perfect potato, Mike 🧔👍
More TOBY!!!! YAY!!!!!
David Harrington, thanks for your feedback, I will tell Toby that you are a fan. He makes an appearance in our video about air fryers. I will include the link in case you have not seen the video, Mike ☺ th-cam.com/video/2ypfmtGN0Ro/w-d-xo.html
This is good to know if you don't have a cook top and a skillet or wash your own dishes.
Thanks! I appreciate your feedback I just uploaded another video that you may find very useful. I invite you to check it out, Mike 🧔 th-cam.com/video/m1h5BLilVuk/w-d-xo.html
Yes
Toby is so cute🐶
Tina Fields, Thanks, I will tell him, Mike ☺
thank you for this i been putting eggs inside a large chicken with it's legs standing up and just waiting for the eggs to cook
Ah, I think I see the issue here! My grandmother always told me the trick is to use medium-sized chickens and small eggs for the best results. She used to say that large chickens have too much leg room, and the eggs get distracted while trying to cook. Try switching to a medium chicken, and those eggs will be sizzling in no time! Mike 🧔
Is it possible to cook the bacon and/or the eggs on a paper plate? I am disabled and it’s very hard for me to do dishes.
Sorry but you cannot cook bacon and eggs at the same time in the microwave. Bacon cooks significantly longer then the eggs. Mike 🧔
@@KitchenTipsOnline Sure, but I meant can I cook them on a paper plate individually?
I misunderstood you. Personally I would not use paper plates. I don't think you'll be satisfied with the results of either the bacon or the egg, Mike 🧔
What I wanted as tutorial material,great job and thanks...
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the feedback, Mike 🧔
I love Toby!
Cindy Thomas, I will pass the word on to Toby that you are a fan! Thanks for your feedback, Mike ☺
Toby is the best!!!¡!!

Want to make a steak at home that tastes exactly like Outback or Longhorn Steakhouse? 🧔If so, watch the following video: th-cam.com/video/EEfjYD0GEDI/w-d-xo.html
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 th-cam.com/video/RQtFyHozMN8/w-d-xo.html
Is the yolk still runny tho? Can't stand a hard yolk
It's a challenge in a microwave to cook eggs without making the yokes hard. Check out this video and perhaps you will prefer this method of microwave cooking an egg, Mike 🧔 th-cam.com/video/ZJAnf08Y8yk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jBJrSRXqDo7QgShT
Please tell me how you did the camerawork in the microwave. That caught my interest right off the bat!
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.😕
