You don't need those fancy things. 1/2 cup cold water in a 4-5 inch diameter bowl. Crack egg and put it in the middle. Microwave for 55 seconds. The egg surrounded by cold water keeps it from exploding. Take out of microwave and let egg sit in water while you fix your toast. Works every time. Plus you don't have to pierce egg white or yolk.
I cook 2 eggs this way, but I add a splash of cider vinegar to keep the eggs whites and yolks together per egg. I dont have room for these gadgets. My eggs have never exploded.
I today in 2024 bought a egg poacher for $10. The lid slides on instead of snapping over top. Other than that it's very similar. It also has the ribs in the lid like the infomercial one here. When I opened it there was a little leaflet instructing how to cook a hotdog in the lid. I'm going to feel like a chef using it to it's maximum potential 😂
The microwave egg poacher I use does not require piercing the yolk, piercing the whites is a sad joke. It requires you melt a small amount of butter in each pocket, put the eggs in and spray some water on top and on the lid. One minute 15 seconds later, for four eggs and rather nicely poached eggs. I've never had a single explosion in dozens of uses and yes I have a 1200 watt microwave.
I have some glass bowls that I use for single eggs and I just did a pair of eggs in a microwave-safe normal bowl. Both work just fine. It's only $4, but save your money. (On the other hand, the reporter is hot enough to make it worth watching.)
Halfcan Tan Beats me. Mine is 1250 wats and it takes 40 seconds to do one egg. Try it for a minute and see if it works. The worst that will happen is you’ll waste an egg or two until you get the right time.
There are a ton of microwave age poaching videos, and the always start with a half cup of water per egg. Then the egg is placed IN the water. Water first keeps it from sticking and better shelters the egg from the extreme radiation-the water basically attenuates the power directly (because that's not how low-power on a microwave actually works.) If you have enough water, it comes out way better. It's also much neater to poke the egg with a toothpick. Some add a pinch of salt, or a tsp of vinegar. PS: Maybe avoid breaking the yolk. I always break them into a cup so I only get the unbroken ones, and no pieces of shell if I have to fish them out.
No. Just get a bowl or a cup. Crack the egg in cold water and make sure the water covers the yoke. No need to pearce. Cover with some kitchen towel and cook. Depending on your microwave wts. I cooked mine for around 2 mins. Did for 1 min first but wasn't cooked enough. Tried another 30 seconds, and then 20 seconds. Was perfect. No yoke explosion. Based on a 900wt microwave. As they say "Men are the best chefs".
My mum always told me as a kid to put a bowl of water on it so it wouldn't blow egg everywhere tried it blew and knocked the bowl over. Never will I use the microwave to cook eggs again.
Make it on the stove in a frying pan filled with medium heated water not boiling hard takes 3 mins for a large egg I cook 4 to 6 at a time depending how many are eating normally 2 a person.
A tablespoon of vinegar helps hold all the egg white together instead of drifting out into the whole pan. The vinegar taste evaporates with the boiling water.
It's for idiots who don't know how to poach an egg in the microwave. It works well enough but the quality is no better than the poached egg you get from an egg McMuffin from McDonalds, with the yoke cook thru.
What a waste of time and money!! Drop them in a small bowl of water, don't pierce the yolks and microwave for about 1 min 15 secs and you will have two perfectly poached eggs. You dont need this piece of crap hanging around your klitchen producing an inferior poached egg.
that broad needs a haircut ... why are dames wearing their hair in that horrendous 1970's overly long style? it doesn't look good on anyone (looking at you Kate Middleton) and will be guffaw worthy in pictures on the future

worked perfectly!!

I do this in a coffee cup, probably easier to retrieve from the bowl.
What power do you put the microwave on?
@RedfishInc that's perfect!
She missed TWO opportunities to say... Eggs-plosions.

They are restaurant-quality if you go to a $4 restaurant.
Kansas looks like it's still in the 70s
Michel Hebert yes can confirm some of them are still in the 60s, I think we have some sundown towns around here
In a lot of ways they still are stuck in the past.
Sounds good to me

you can poach eggs exactly the same way by simply cracking one into a normal coffee mug full of water and nuking on medium or high for a minute or two
Agreed 👍 the only slight difference is that
I use my one cup Pyrex measuring jug..
Soo easy 2 do..
I have some glass bowls that I use for single eggs and I just did a pair of eggs in a microwave-safe normal bowl. Both work just fine.
It's only $4, but save your money.

David Messer my microwave is 750 so how long should I take to cook them please help me out here

David Messer Jesus that's some amount of power is that standard over there in America ?
1st thing you need to do, is wash the product! 🙂
These things, like a cup or a bowl, work. Just add the water first and don't overcook. No explosions.

I used a bowl and cup and it was a mess in my microwave. You experts left that part out.
Wow It’s my first time seeing the people before Matt and all of the other people
I guess it was too much to expect her to do a taste test of the finished product!
I give the egg poacher a 2 and the hot reporter a 12!
+Jairzinho121 I was thinking the same!
I poked holes. One side exploded, the other side stayed runny. There's actually one sold at walmart that works correctly.
Add some spray/oil so the eggs will slide out easier.

Didn't know what wattage the microwave was. How you test something without knowing what you're testing with lol?
I bought one and tested it at 70 seconds. Not anough so I added 10 seconds and it was fine. I hve an old microwave, but it works fine. Try it.
Mine did not come with instruction
Thanks
Mine exploded in the microwave because I didn't poke holes
0:59 WHO CRACKS EGGS LIKE THAT?!? G DANG LADY
And yet she wonders whyyy the Yolk is broken
I don't. I bet it was full of shell.
is it me or she only poked holes into one egg? explosion? or brain fart? you decide!
Yep, she's a dummy presenter.
You have to punch both eggs,,,,,,,,,!
Why is this on KSNT
I asked her how she liked her eggs... she said fetilized.
Flynt Flossy Is My Favorite Rapper
I’ll give it a Zero.
The lid other side is hotdog heater i
How old the presenter now? She is beautiful. Whats her name?
Where do I purchase one of those egg poachers?
Major eggsplosions
My mum always told me as a kid to put a bowl of water on it so it wouldn't blow egg everywhere tried it blew and knocked the bowl over. Never will I use the microwave to cook eggs again.
15 or 50?
haha just go to dennys
Don’t work !
DUHH silly the instructions say pierce the egg white
she does it for too long. Do it for 50 seconds.

Recommended duration in microwaves vary by power and amount of stuff you're cooking.
Make it on the stove in a frying pan filled with medium heated water not boiling hard takes 3 mins for a large egg I cook 4 to 6 at a time depending how many are eating normally 2 a person.

@@harddazeknight Yes it does if you cook them on the stove in a pan.
Try this for great scrambled egg..... place egg in microwave, no need to crack the shell, full power for two minutes
You know their done when you hear the boom
@@Dixbeflopin2
Lol
🥺
Eggs stuck to the poacher and were UGLY! Garage sale! 59 cents, anyone????
It's for idiots who don't know how to poach an egg in the microwave. It works well enough but the quality is no better than the poached egg you get from an egg McMuffin from McDonalds, with the yoke cook thru.
Taste much better cooking on stove in a small pan in just a few minutes. Can wash a small fry pan in less than a minute.
