Tips & Warnings
  • Eggs cooked for a shorter period of time are "scrambled soft." If cooked longer, they are "scrambled hard." The "ideal" of scrambled eggs is soft and creamy, but some really like 'em hard - even browned on the edges. (These people might well try omelettes; see Related eHows.)
  • Cooking the eggs at a higher temperature makes them rubbery. Some of the "hard scrambled" types like this! If that's you, by all means, crank it up. But stir the eggs more often so they don't burn.

on 8/8/2006 * Put two eggs in Ziploc freezer bag
* Add condiments and other stuff; such as onions, peppers, cheese etc.
* Drop into water at rolling boil for 13 minutes.

Serves one. Four to eight bags can usually be cooked in one large pot. Guests can add their own ingredients for a quick, cool meal.

on 1/26/2006 While camping as a kid, we used to drop a few eggs into a Ziplock sandwich bag and toss it into a pot of boiling water. When the eggs were cooked, we'd pull the bag out and mush the eggs around (scramble) then dump them on a plate. They are moist and fluffy.

on 1/26/2006 Pour the beaten egg batter into a hotter pan. Let eggs sit for a few seconds to set, then start pulling them into the center to create folding ribbons. Do this until the eggs will not seep back out into the rest of the pan. When you're done, the pile of eggs will be somewhat soft. If you don't like this, flip them over in the pan and cook the other side. Otherwise, flip them right into the plate (soft side down) and they will set by the ambient heat. This makes the softest, smoothest eggs.
