It has silicone handles, is called the "IncrediEgg", and does whole eggs and egg whites beautifully but scrambled are inedible. I'll have to try it with milk, which I don't use when I make scrambled in a skillet. I mostly use the IncrediEgg to melt butter for popcorn because normally melting butter in like a custard dish requires the presence of another custard dish with water or there is arcing. It's an old microwave, a 1987 Sunbeam "Express Meals", 700 watts. Still works so I don't need one of those fancy push-button models.
