Microwaved Scrambled Eggs

I looked up Amy Beh's recipes in kuali.com and came across only one microwave recipe as below:

Scrambled Eggs the Microwave Way

Ingredients
• 4 eggs
• 2 tbsp milk
• Dash of salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp butter
Method
Beat eggs with milk and add in salt and pepper. Put butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt butter on high for 30 seconds.

Add beaten egg mixture to the melted butter and microwave on high for 1 minute 15 seconds.

Remove bowl and stir or whisk the set pieces of eggs from the sides of the bowl in towards the centre.

Cook on high for a further 1 minute 15 seconds to 1 minute 45 seconds, stirring or whisking twice.

When the eggs are three-quarters cooked, you can still see a significant amount of runny egg in the bowl but when the eggs are cooked, they will be moist but not completely set. Leave to stand for one to two minutes, then remove the scrambled eggs and serve immediately with toasted bread.

I know Zaty has been cooking eggs in the microwave at home without using any oil.In the beginning during our experiment, the eggs were overcooked. However,cooking for about 15 seconds will result in half cooked ones.It is not wise to cook eggs in its shell as it may explode.But by putting it in a bowl of water, it may not explode if you cook it only for less than a minute.
