What we hate most about most microwave cookware is it serves only one purpose: to cook foods in the microwave. But this Microwave Egg Cooker from Pampered Chef is different. Yes, it cooks in the microwave and is designed to cook just one thing, eggs. But the stoneware is also traditional oven safe (and freezer safe to boot). Out of the box the stoneware has an awful, gritty texture that feels like the equivalent of fingernailson a chalkboard, but with a good oiling, after a few uses a lovely, shiny nonstick patina develops, making it easy to poach, fry or scramble eggs in the microwave (or traditional) oven. The cooker features two wells, each ample enough - 1 ½ cups - to hold one or two eggs plus accompaniments. The 12-inch cooker is heat-resistant up to 450 degrees and comes with a plastic scraper for easy cleaning.
