Discussion between two women at work, I've been doing it for years, never thought about it. 1 cooks 2 eggs for her child in microwave with no butter no oil nothing, the other uses a skillet using olive oil and scramble. Which one is better, and Can You Lose The Nutritional Value Of An Egg?

NO.

Answer 2

Nutritional Value Of Scrambled Eggs

Answer 3

First of all you've given the skillet a bad rap already by adding OIL to the skillet. (not fair to the skillet)
Science Experiment Time
-2 eggs
-1 non stick pan
-1 microwave

Ding times up

*Microwave Egg Comes out Dehydrated
*Skillet Egg Creamy Silky & Sexy

However 1 tablespoon of butter should be cooked in with 3 Eggs and remember eggs are fragile so dont wisk them in a Bowl before you "DUMP" them into a non-stick pan. crack 3 eggs in a pan add butter & Heat maybe some fresh chopped chives. constanly stirring and folding "Gently" . DONT ADD SALT UNTILL EGG IS COOKED.

Well, I just googled it and I guess nobody agrees on it. I try to use the microwave as little as possible. It just can't be healthy for you in my opinion.

Answer 5

yes, the microwaves do kill some of it, but you don't need oil to scramble eggs either tho, use a non stick skillet of, cooking spray when you scramble

Answer 6

Anytime you cook a food, no mater the method used, you change it's nutritional value.

Answer 7

microwaving does change the dna

olive oil is good
