Poach Eggs in Microwave
Poach Eggs in the Microwave? Put an egg in a mug, fill with water over the egg, then microwave it for 45 seconds. YMMV depending on the microwave. This did not work for us. It has potential though. Every microwave is different and with some trial and error it would be egg-cellent to dial in the number. Perhaps just around 1 minute for this Microwave?

Every Microwave is Different
There are no short cuts - you must trial and error until you figure out the time for your microwave. Somewhere between 30 seconds and one minute...
