Ive worked out the perfect way to do poached eggs in a microwave, under five minutes and perfect

[Classic Jorge]

every time.

I await all sorts of cries of "it's a microwave, you aren't meant to cook stuff in it!" etc etc but I'm chalking this down to something of a win.

Poached eggs on toast with less mess and quick enough to be convenient.

thing cooks through almost instantly and do it in 10-second increments to check the doneness. I reckon about 20-30 seconds is enough.

I'm sporadically okay with poached eggs at best, cannae seem to get rid of the moisture properly without breaking the *******.

This could be a game-changer j.

I've only recently discovered the poached egg and have become quite the zealot.

Nutritious and delicious* :eat:








*just as long as you add enough braaaaaahn sauce

I'll still probably stick with the water, white wine vinegar and the vortex whisk method.

[Classic Jorge]

Little bowls, pyrex or ramekins work best in my experience, stick a little bit of olive oil in to prevent stickage.

Then you just dump an egg in each, add enough water to ensure the egg is covered and you're away. 1:30 in a 750w microwave and you're good.

For optimum efficiency get your toast on first.

At first, I just tried nuking them without water and yes, you could have played ice hockey with the results.

I had two yesterday with half an avocado.

The fried egg is a coarse and common beast next to its poached brethren, I fear.

[Classic Jorge]

Not really my department, see?

[Berni]

something?

[Snin]

and drop in the water buti nt to hear mwave way imo good for work

[Classic Jorge]

Will it break? Will it stick? Will you get the pleasing little crust on it whilst still remanning crucially eggy? Will I die from eating what is essentially pure fat?

[Jake]

A fake poached egg, essentially.

[Berni]

I don't want crust on my egg.

[Classic Jorge]

The pods could do a job in the microwave, I reckon

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

The water simply does what it would if the eggs were submerged directly.

3 mins, while the toaster is doing it's job.

The combination is not something I have had before, simply that it was what was there. Ready Steady Cook, but breakfast style.

[Snin]

n break egg in middle then pull up corners to make little bag twist top n pop in the water

[Classic Jorge]

And yes, I'm aware I am advocating cooking my food using radiation

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

They are great and of huge important hassle free. The secret of breakfast really, the latter.
