Cheese and Eggs

1.Eggs may be prepared many ways in the microwave oven. Always pierce whole yolks before microwaving to prevent bursting.

2.Never cook eggs in the shell. Do not reheat hard cooked eggs in the shell. They will explode.

3.Cook eggs just until set. They are delicate and can toughen if overcooked.
