this turned out perfect. I used a little less then 1 min around 50 sec. I just moved and this makes an easy fuss free way to make poached eggs.

Well, let me be the 112th person to say it worked I did try it twice and found that with my microwave I had to only do 45 seconds but who is going to complain about a recipe taking even less time! It worked great and gave me a totally healthy way to have an egg for breakfast this morning. Something which is usually considered a luxury due to the other cooking methods. Made for PAC Fall 2009.

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!
