    Between the air fryer method which involves oil, water, 8 or 9 minutes cooking time,scrubbing the baked on oil after you have eaten your poached egg!!! The microwave method is the way to go, been doing this for years, thumbs up Darren👍

    small to medium coffee cup will do! Room temp water at 50-75% fill, ....put in the egg. Microwave on 40-50 seconds. Wallah!!! Perfect poached egg. Put on toast, over rice, eggs Benedict, on a stew, meat, hamburger, etc. Perfection. Thank you so much!

    I've been poaching eggs this way for a while but mine have been kind of hit or miss, you kinda have a formula of 1\2 cup water, 1-minute perfect egg. I like the way everyone is busting your chops about no toaster, all in good fun, I'm sure. Looking forward to many more cooking tips, always looking for quicker ways to cut down meal prep, Thanks

    Brilliant, so quick and no mess.
    I remember asking my son to boil me 2 eggs a couple of years ago as I needed protein. I told him what to do but when he brought them to me they were just slush. He’d boiled a kettle and poured it into the saucepan where the eggs were and after 4 minutes or so he assumed that was it. That was his first attempt at cooking, thankfully he’s got so much better although he really doesn’t enjoy it. He gave me a good laugh though

      In 1982 my mum died unexpectably. My two brothers lived abroad and my sister had two young kids. I came up to dad's house from university with little cooking skills. Went to the deep freeze, found a bag of something. Turned out it was brains. I grilled the F out of them for myself and dad. On eating them I had the presence of mind to comment, "well that's the second thing we've burned today.''😳

    I've been poaching eggs in tea mugs for years. You just rub a bit of olive oil on the inside to avoid any sticking. Usually put it on a lower setting for around 20 seconds. If you go full power you will end up with a hard yolk in a few seconds.

    • @stephensmith4480
      @stephensmith4480 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Even better, use the exact method you have just described but close the cling film into a little wrapper and drop it into a small pan of Boiling Water. Two mins later, lift out, cut the top off the cling film and pour your egg onto your Toast. Perfect every time. You can even do them in advance and reheat them in a cup of Hot Water 👍👍

    I have tried the microwave method and mostly its been great but ive had 2 explosions and if that happens it a mighty clean up of all the splattered egg. Great video though, thanks

    @htershane Před 24 dny +1

    Feck me it works!👍 A word of caution to others, results will vary depending on micro wattage and egg size one minute is your starter mark. If it’s underdone, like my first attempt, just give it 5-10 second blasts til you get there. Mine are perfect at 1:12 but my brother tried it in his and he said the yolk fell out of the white and rolled off the plate🤣

    been doing this since 1983 - also plop a little butter in the water to give the egg that rich taste that can be achieved using poaching cups.
    How many years were you in the food business? I'm pulling your chain a bit but didn't you ever learn how to use a knife 😀! Pulling at your toast that way.
    I also leave the egg to stand for 10 secs before opening the microwave.
