I tried this method for cooking my poached eggs this morning and it worked great! So easy to do and so quick you can now eat well even when your on the run! My boys loved theirs and gave it 2 thumbs up, so it looks like this is the way I will be making my eggs from now on. Thanks for sharing Paula!

Perfect. Here's how I adapted to be able to do these at work. No vinegar. I took a coffee cup and put the water and the eggs in it. I popped the yolks just to be safe and then microwaved them for one minute. I drained the water off really well and added a small amount of butter and enjoyed them so much. Thank you so much for a healthy solution to the breakfast at work problem.

It took me a third try to get this cooked the way I like it. The first one that cooked for one minute was hard. The second one cooked for 45 seconds was too sloppy and under done for me. The third try worked like a charm. I have a 1,000 watt microwave and cooked the egg for 53 seconds. Next time I think I can cook it for 50 seconds and then just let rest in the water for a few seconds longer to continue cooking it gently. This is SOOOO much faster and much easier cleanup compared to cooking in a saucepan. Although I love poached eggs, I've never liked the mess of poaching eggs, so I started cooking soft boiled eggs... but even then I couldn't get the timing just right or they broke when I attempted to get the shell off. This is THE way to go for me from now on. Thanks PaulaG!
