Eggs and Scallions in a Hot Pot

So I decided to do an experiment on eggs. I want to see which cooks eggs better. A Hot Pot? Or a microwave. Today we will be doing Scrambled Eggs in a hot pot. Im adding Scallions cause I like the flavor and texture. And I will be using these eggs to go with some microwaved instant rice. (I recently bought actual rice but i've saving it for another project)

Materials
  • Plate or Cutting Board
  • Bowl
  • Fork
  • Hot Pot

Ingredients
  • 2 Eggs
  • Milk 
  • Scallions
  • 1 tablespoon Butter

1- Scramble the eggs in a bowl add a little bit of milk so about a tablespoon or so.

Before Scrambling

For me since I am doing scallions, I chop the scallions on the plate. After I am done I put them in the egg mixture.  And then add the butter to my hot pot. I turn it on and wait for it to melt. Then add the eggs. And cook like regular scrambled eggs.

Now when I was cooking it I noticed that of course when the egg was in the plastic it was not getting cooked as fast. Now I realized this in the beginning. But little did I know how much contsant stirring I would be doing because i needed to make sure they didn't burn. All in all a little hetic but worth it.

Conclusion Out of 5: 3- average

Cost:  4: It all costed pretty cheap and most of these materials you buy in bulk so you have more than enough to cook other dishes with them.

Experience Cooking: 2, It needed alot of monitoring to make sure the butter or eggs didn't burn from sitting on the hot part for too long. And it took a bit to make sure they were completely cooked through.

Time: 3, Prep is a little busy but it was a pretty fast cooking experience. It didn't take longer than cooking a normal egg.

Apperance: 3, Very chopped up from the amount of stirring. Sorta Fluffy not really.

Taste: 5, Very good. Makes it worth going through all the trouble and almost taste as if I had made them in a pan at home.

  1. Yeah, eggs in a hot pot will tend to dry out a little more. I like to add just a touch of shredded jack near the end, and hot sauce of course :)
