Secrets of cooking omelet in the microwave
The word "omelet" is of French origin. But no one undertakes to declare unequivocally that it was the French who invented this dish. I don't think it will ever be possible to find the real inventor of the omelet. Indeed, almost every country has its own recipe for preparing this dish.
If such a dish is cooked in a pan, it will have a significant drawback. It will turn out to be painfully fat, which is not very good. And in the microwave oven you will be able to prepare a dietary meal, while spending very little time.
The nutritional value of the omelet in the microwave is 130,6 kcal per 100 g of the dish. It contains 10,1 g of protein, 8,9 g of fat and 1,7 g of carbohydrates
To keep everything going without "surprises", remember the following rules. They will help you prepare an awesome omelet:
- You need to cook with fresh eggs - do not buy a product from a week ago. Although the shelf life is 2 weeks, I don't really trust them when they have been in the store for so long.
- The omelet will turn out to be airy if you cook it from chilled eggs. Pulled out of the refrigerator, cook right there. And if you just brought it from the store, put it in the freezer for 5-7 minutes. And only then just cook.
- Make an omelet with milk. This will make it lush, porous and soft. But don't overdo it. If you add too much of it, the dish will not rise.

The advantage of microwaving is that the dish will not burn like a pan. Of course, if you don't turn it on for half an hour and forget. If this happens, read the article "how to clean the microwave". You will definitely have to wash it 🙂
And yet, special dishes should be used for cooking in the microwave. Even plastic is different. There are containers that are designed only for storing cold food.

Omelet as in kindergarten
Some of my friends ask: "Is it possible to make an omelet like in kindergarten?" Either nostalgia for childhood, or the desire to change something motivates them - I don't know. Therefore, I decided to share the recipe for this dish.
For 3 eggs, you need to take about a glass of milk. The mixture should be salt and stir until smooth. But do not whisk under any circumstances. Lubricate the inside of the glass pan with softened butter and pour the mixture here. Place the lid on top of the dishes and microwave. Set the power to 450 W and the timer to 20 minutes. After cooking, do not rush to immediately take out the dish. Wait a bit.
Omelet for 1 year baby
When cooking for your baby, be aware of the dangers that exist. The main one is the use of milk. Well, first of all, the baby may have a reaction to lactose. Secondly, for a baby liver, a lot of fatty milk is a big load. Therefore, when preparing porridge or other crumbs, be sure to dilute the milk with water. The recommended proportion is 1: 1. And besides, the consumption of a large number of eggs is a great burden on the liver.
And when cooking for crumbs in the microwave, you need to pay special attention to the choice of dishes. It must be labeled. This is the only way you can be sure that the dishes are safe for the child. Otherwise, the cooking method is the same as in the classic recipe, which I wrote above.
