Microwave Egg cooker 101
We can cook the perfect poached egg in about 45 seconds (depending on micro power and how each of us likes our eggs). Often when traveling our egg cookers are packed as a priority in our carry on luggage so we can make a snack in hotel room microwave.

No oil or water needed. Just crack the egg in the base of your egg cooker , prick yolk, and cover with lid. Microwave for 45 seconds* at high power.

Your Favorite: just imagine and experiment. If you have come up the a proven winner, please let me know and I’ll add your recipe to the list.
Note that for even cooking it is best to place your egg cooker near the outer ring of microwave turn plate. ( ie: not in middle ).
Also beware that occasionally the egg yolk will pop and displace the lid, you can add a folded piece of paper towel over the lid if your eggs tend to be “explosive”
Bon appetite !
