Make Poached Eggs Faster Using Your Microwave

Poaching eggs on the stove can be outstandingly frustrating, but there is a way to poach eggs that is much faster and easier: Let your microwave do all the leg work.

Just pour a little bit of water into a mug or a glass measuring cup, then zap in the microwave until the water is hot, but not boiling.

You'll then crack your egg into the water, poke the yolk with a toothpick so it doesn’t explode in the microwave, and then seal it with some plastic wrap.

Put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds, and you should have one perfectly poached egg, which you can carefully transfer to a paper towel to dry before eating.
