Just crack your egg into a bowl, here’s the critical part: put some sort of loose lid on it. Loose, dammit, like just sitting on. The egg will explode but be contained and it will just work (with extra noise)
To be fair: they said poached egg; poaching is just boiling the contents of the egg in water. Fill a bowl with some water, crack egg into water, microwave.
It would be sick if you could hard boil them just by microwaving them unopened. Maybe if you poke a hole in for gas to escape… 🤔
Also when I am feeling particularly lazy, I just scramble eggs and microwave it. Somehow it ends up even fluffier than making them on the stove in a pan, just gotta make sure to not overcook them.
I microwave scrambled egg for sandwiches daily. The trick is to add a little water. Or, I just rip up two slices of lunch meat and scramble that in, it has enough water in it.
Microwaved egg on the side of a bowl hardens into concrete. Wash immediately or use paper bowls.
You can make an amazing poached egg with just a microwave

How?? What is this witchcraft?
I know, right? Time I put egg in the microwave, it pops and explodes.

What sort of vessel/container do you use for this? Is a tight-fitting lid required?
Just an uncovered bowl.
Huh, interesting. Thanks, I’ll have to try this.

What are your secrets?
Take a halve cup of water, microwave at max power for a minute. Now you have a cup of hot water.
Then crack open an egg in the cup. Microwave for another 30s.
Get it out with a spoon. Add pepper and salt.
Eat.
Repeat.
Thanks!
