Poaching an egg in the microwave.....

Have I got this right?

Lightly oil/butter a cup and break egg into it.

Pierce yolk.

Microwave.

Anyone know how long for please?

I don;t even bother with the oil/butter. Just pop it in small teacup, pierce the yolk the pop it in micorwave. If you cover it with a saucer it will take a bit longer. I normally put a bit of kitchen towel over the cup, just in case the egg pops so does not cover the microwave. Hmm as for timing, I usually do it for 30 secs, then further 20 secs to amke sure the yolk deos not cook too much. Mind you, I still often end up with solid yolk,every egg seems different

What Janet said

The devil in me wants to say, just pop the egg in as is, Vicki

the serious answer is what Janet said

You won't go to heaven, you know........

I have a plastic microwave egg poacher, just pop them in, and pierce the yolk like the others said ! I normally do mine for 45 secs and they are eggsactly how I like them (did ya see what I did there !!! lol !! )

LMAO I so know why we get on..... God help that I never see a button that says 'Do not push button' because the devil in me would find that sooooooo difficult lol

It is cooked when you here the popping------then you scrape it off the sides of the microwave----which saves cutting it upon the plate.

We've got a container that holds little cups for 4 eggs. These sit in a 'rack' that holds the cups off the bottom of the container. You put a bit of water in there and put the valve equipped lid on and they pretty much always turn out nice and soft!

Sorry, no idea where it came from....
