1 minute poached eggs
1. Always use room temperature water. Measure 1/2 cup of water in a ramekin.
2. Salt the water.
3. Carefully break the egg into the ramekin.
4. Place the ramekin into the microwave and cook for 1 minute. All microwaves are different so start at 45 seconds until you understand how yours will work. Add time in 5 second increments.
5. Take the ramekin out of the oven and remove the egg with a slotted spoon. If you do not have one, carefully use a fork or a spoon (tilt it to drain the liquid) and place it on a paper towel to drain.
6. Enjoy on a piece of toast.

Well now, I have done this many times! I boil water in my kettle first, then pour it into a mug, about 2/3 full, Then break an egg into the very hot, but still water, put it into my microwave [850watts] but only for 40 seconds! Any longer and the egg will explode [it has done that to me?!] but I learn FAST!!! Perfect results every time now!! Yea!

After 1 minute, we continued cooking in 30 sec periods. We didn't keep close track, but seemed to take 4 min. You need to serve quickly, though. They continue cooking as long as they are in the water. Still, we have a new favored meal. Thanks . . .

Okay. Unless I missed it what is the setting of the microwave? Most microwaves have a settings feature? 1 to 10, 10 being the highest. Also yolks, at least for me, have a tendency to explode at some point in the process unless it is poked several times with a tooth pick.

A good tip for your viewers,is when you put the egg in the microwave,place it onto a small plate,so it's not too hot taking it out! From experience,it was too hot doing it as described here,so place it on a plate to avoid scolding of yourself,and if you have animals below you,those also! Just a tip from watching this one,and yes the egg is great,but my added protection for you,animals,or kiddies around you cooking it.
