Haven't you got a toaster Darren, 1 min for egg 5 mins for toast!😂😂
Yep, I can vouch for this👍 Coffee mug, pinch of salt and pepper, coupla drops vinegar, 3/4 fill with boiling water, crack in egg, 60 secs in 800w microdiddle....perfect poached eggs with runny yolks...guaranteed!
90 seconds for two mugs/two eggs.
Sounds great!
@@DarrenJohn Works a treat every single time, mate👍
That's how I will be doing my poached eggs from now on thank you for sharing Darren xxx
Love these nifty and healthy tips. Especially when poached eggs happen to be one of my favourite things either for brekkie or lunch, or to top and drizzle through a crisp and fresh green leafy bacon lardon salad! SO simple, but Oh My! Thank you :)
Between the air fryer method which involves oil, water, 8 or 9 minutes cooking time,scrubbing the baked on oil after you have eaten your poached egg!!! The microwave method is the way to go, been doing this for years, thumbs up Darren👍
Wow ...thanks Darren for showing me this tip , love poached eggs but hate cleaning the saucepan after, can't wait to try it 👍
🙏🏼🙂👍🏼
small to medium coffee cup will do! Room temp water at 50-75% fill, ....put in the egg. Microwave on 40-50 seconds. Wallah!!! Perfect poached egg. Put on toast, over rice, eggs Benedict, on a stew, meat, hamburger, etc. Perfection. Thank you so much!
That poached egg Darren looks so yummy, I love poached eggs your right they are healthy and have protein 👍🤗❤️
Nice one Darren, I have poached eggs on toast for breakfast everyday love it . That egg looked spot on .👍🇬🇧👍
I do scrambled eggs in the microwave. Just put the eggs in a cup, whisk them up, 30 seconds take out give it another whisk and put in for another 10 seconds or so (depending on your microwave) 🥚🥚🥚👍
Hi Darren I'll maybe try it one day,so so many different ways to poach an egg,I've tried the ones you don't use water smear butter on ceramic cup put lid on then microwave its either under done or explodes in the experimental stage till you nail it,even depends on size of your egg.
Darren John - I spent weeks messing up poached eggs until the point that I gave up. Then i saw your video ! You saved me from the other side of the pond. Thanks. I’m now a hero again in my wife’s eyes ( she was ready to leave me over my wimpy poached eggs ).
Glad I could help!
No butter on the toast? You're yolking?
Brilliant, so quick and no mess.
I remember asking my son to boil me 2 eggs a couple of years ago as I needed protein. I told him what to do but when he brought them to me they were just slush. He’d boiled a kettle and poured it into the saucepan where the eggs were and after 4 minutes or so he assumed that was it. That was his first attempt at cooking, thankfully he’s got so much better although he really doesn’t enjoy it. He gave me a good laugh though
In 1982 my mum died unexpectably. My two brothers lived abroad and my sister had two young kids. I came up to dad's house from university with little cooking skills. Went to the deep freeze, found a bag of something. Turned out it was brains. I grilled the F out of them for myself and dad. On eating them I had the presence of mind to comment, "well that's the second thing we've burned today.''😳
Most of ‘em (my son is pushing 30 & he’s improved no end😉) live & learn, thankfully 🙏🏻 I do recall some “interesting attempts”, shall we say!
No butter on the toast? Did the cow die?
@@MikePaton-Williams-yv9qo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Measuring cups tend to be made of either plastic or steel. Neither of which should go in the microwave. You can just use a ceramic coffee mug and it works the same.
Thank you Darren, so easy to do and the egg keeps a good shape!
A brilliant way to poach an egg, I tried it this morning at 1 minute the egg was only slightly runny. Tomorrow I will try 50 seconds. Thanks again.
Nice one Steve
I put 3 eggs in a bowl with water and zap for just under 2 mins and like Yours... perfect every time! Been doing this for a few years now!
This is really helpful.I have avoided poached eggs because of hassle and over cooking them. Will definitely try this 👍
Hope you enjoy
Thanks. I get up at 4am for work every weekday and for me this is a perfect quick breakfast.
Perfect!
Nice one 👍👍👍
Thats how my nan used to do them for me when i was young ❤
Excellent. I love poached eggs. I'm definitely giving this a try.
First time ever that I had poached eggs! Simple and easy!
Thanks for the tip!
You are so welcome!
Brilliant Darren. Definitely be giving it a go. Poached eggs are my all time favourite breakfast. Looked lovely! 🥰☀️🥰xxx
1 minute - it really works
Darren i have just found your great channel and subscribed, i am 62 years old and every day is an education. Just made myself a perfect poached egg on seeded bread and what can i say. Fantastically easy and done to perfection mate. Going to look at more of your vids,take care fella😉
Top man, welcome aboard
I’d love to be able to do poached eggs like the pros do, looking all wispy etc.. but a decent microwave one is great. Just add some butter to the toast, and another ten or twenty seconds in the microwave would be ideal!
Thats how I will be doing my poached eggs thank you for sharing Darren it is so easy.
I’m so gonna try that in the morning now. Thank you Darren. Have a lovely evening. ❤
Awesome 🙏🏼🙂
That’ll do for me, a perfectly done poached egg. My attempts over the years have been disastrous- so I gave up trying and eating them poached.
Thank you for the tip 👌
You can do it!
£3 to cook the toast....
I've been poaching eggs this way for a while but mine have been kind of hit or miss, you kinda have a formula of 1\2 cup water, 1-minute perfect egg. I like the way everyone is busting your chops about no toaster, all in good fun, I'm sure. Looking forward to many more cooking tips, always looking for quicker ways to cut down meal prep, Thanks
I've been poaching eggs in tea mugs for years. You just rub a bit of olive oil on the inside to avoid any sticking. Usually put it on a lower setting for around 20 seconds. If you go full power you will end up with a hard yolk in a few seconds.
Even better, use the exact method you have just described but close the cling film into a little wrapper and drop it into a small pan of Boiling Water. Two mins later, lift out, cut the top off the cling film and pour your egg onto your Toast. Perfect every time. You can even do them in advance and reheat them in a cup of Hot Water 👍👍
@@stephensmith4480 Thats too Jamie Oliver for my liking. 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing Darren John.
That’s a perfect poached egg.I will have it on Saturday morning.Thanks Darren.
Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing your top tip , on poaching eggs. Thanks DJ 🤗
I love poached eggs,you have so many options with eggs and all taste so different
Poached eggs on toast, mmmm....😋. I want some right now!..😁
WHAT wattage microwave and at what power setting (is it 800W full power for 60 seconds or what) m i do not want to waste eggs experimenting
Thank you for sharing darren
I’ll have to try this DJ thanks for sharing 👍👍
This video blew up, nice one DJ. Hope it continues for you, much deserved.
A poached egg, who knew?
You make it look so easy Darren for myself I’m totally hopeless at cooking 🙈 but for sure I’m going to try this ❤
You can do it!
@DarrenJohn good but 1 single egg on 1 dry toast not enough, needs 2 and butter on toast ( don't think I've ever made just one slice of toast, that's just madness 😂
Thanks for sharing, it is highly appreciated.
this is actually hilarious I can't believe it actually works, all you need to do is boil some water just before the water is properly boiling stir around the edges inside the water create a little current and then crack the egg in
middle
Amazing. Will be making one this morning - thanks DJ for this top tip. x
Hope you enjoy it!
what wattage your microwave? Water added cold tap temp ?
I've learned something, and I am cross that I didn't know this before! Thanks.
Thank you for the Quick Poached Egg!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to start doing this!!!
Brilliant...ty Darren
as always very enjoyable content DJ.
Do it
most every day. 70sec poached egg. Microwaved 😊😊😊. Oh yeah coffee to. Yum yummy. Thanks for sharing.
Great job! I will try it tomorrow morning!
If you make a large amount of eggs, take equal amounts of vinegar and water in a big bowl, crack your eggs into it and wait 10 minutes until the outside of the white has set (don't go over 10 minutes or you risk your eggs tasting of vinegar). Poach them in hot/almost boiling water (bubbles on the bottom of the pot) for 3 minutes. That's the trick they use in restaurants when making a lot of poached eggs to order.
Thank you. I ❤ your method very much😊😊!
Only one person (not you) in all the videos I've seen regarding doing it this way also told the audience at what heat level the microwave should be set at.
Great video, i'll try it. Every time i've tried to microwave cracked eggs in a bowl they either went perfectly or blew up and coated the microwave in egg. Maybe with them being in water makes all the difference
Great idea, LOVE eggs cooked in any fashion so will give it a try, however, what setting do you use? I assume very low, otherwise the water will boil.
I've never made a Poached Egg in my life (81 Years) but I'll be trying that out soon for sure.
Wow! Well done! Its never too late to be an eggy brekkie rebel :)
Fair play to you mate. 👍
What a brilliant hack! Cheers from a poached egg lover!
That looks like a great egg, just how I like them. Definitely going to try that.
Wow will definitely give that one a go 😊
Great idea .... off the charts. 👍
"The Incredible Eatable Egg" 😋
That's a real kitchen hack thanks mush ❤
Crack egg in food handy bag with some butter in the corner . Put it in kettle for 2 boils perfect every time
Feck me it works!👍 A word of caution to others, results will vary depending on micro wattage and egg size one minute is your starter mark. If it’s underdone, like my first attempt, just give it 5-10 second blasts til you get there. Mine are perfect at 1:12 but my brother tried it in his and he said the yolk fell out of the white and rolled off the plate🤣
I will be trying this out tonight when home from work 🙂
Hope you enjoy
I do my poached eggs in my omelette maker so I can do 2 together. So easy, a bit of water in each compartment drop the eggs in, close the lid and 2 to 3 minutes later I get the best poached eggs and so easy to clean after.
I have tried the microwave method and mostly its been great but ive had 2 explosions and if that happens it a mighty clean up of all the splattered egg. Great video though, thanks
Cover the eggs Tony
Absolute Genius Darren!
Will certainly try this, love a poached egg
Thats great tip, went to Weatherspoon in Llandudno ( The Palladium), asked for eggs benedict, they say we got no poached eggs😮, They buy them in from Brakes, they had fried eggs😅, no chef there then,
Am I the only one who noticed the cup jump at 4:11 ....? Does anyone know why it did that?
Absolutely brilliant but on a Sunday morning in my house there's 5 people all wanting a poached egg on toast at the same time. One at a time this method is great but that's it
Looks perfect will try this
How many watts is your microwave? Does it matter? Mine is 800 watts and just wondering do I still cook for 60 seconds? Or is it a case of playing around till I get the perfect eggs? I hope this “game changer” works as I love poached eggs on toast but I don’t always have success at making them.
Trial and error - anywhere between 50 - 65 seconds
Love poached eggs 🥚 👍😍
I so wanted this to work, but physics will have it's way. It nearly works, but does not really solve the problem that in a microwave the yoke cooks faster than the white. I can see that between 50 and 60 seconds there is a sweet-spot where the white is nearly cooked -- still slightly snot-like -- and the yoke is mostly runny. I want that perfect poached egg, and this fall short for me, though happy for those who embrace it. Thanks for sharing my perfidiousness seems to place me in the minority
It's a fine line between 52 seconds and 60. I cannot eat snotty eggs - but 60 seconds in my microwave using lukewarm water from the tap works 🙏🏼👍🏼
'I'm trying,' ...me too buddy, me too. That's exactly the sort of thing I'd have for brekkie. Man after my own heart. Subscribed 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice one Darran love poached eggs.
Great tip Darren Will certainly try it xx👍👍
Hope you enjoy
👍👍
Like to know where you got those measuring cups from. Liked the look of them and wouldn’t mind getting them especially as they are microwave safe
Amazon
What wattage is your microwave oven ? ... as it makes a difference to timing mine is 900 watts thanks
Try 55 seconds, then 60, the 65
Trial and error
Thank you Darren!
Yep. I agree. No butter toast. lightly poached egg and black coffee. Love it ! 😊. And low calorie, what’s not to like ?
Nice one Darren. Ironically enough I saw someone else on UA-cam do this today but he boiled the water first. So I'll definitely give it a try to see how it works out. Great video. Take care and all the best. 👍.
Great idea going to try it this morning. Brilliant.
Hope you enjoy
@DarrenJohn oh yes I did worked perfect
Do you use cold water or warm water or boiling water? You didn’t mention in your video - I know you used tap water but not sure if it was one of those trendy cold or boiling water taps??
Just regular warm tap water
thank you for this Darren. I love poached eggs but mine never work. This is a brilliant way.
You are very welcome
What power is your microwave please. I’ve a 900 so will it be 1 min or less? Thanks
I would try 55 seconds first 👍🏼
I used to be a chef , we learned to cut corners, which didn't compromise the flavour. Great hack. If you've a kettle that's just boiled you can add the water in a hot pan and a ladle with a knob of butter , crack an egg and let it do its thing. But yes granted your hack is quicker .Thank you for sharing sweet xx ❤️
Always good to find ways to cut corners
@@DarrenJohn absolutely. It saves time, electricity and stress. Have a super evening dimples xx 🙏❤️
@@butterflydiva1Alright Maria, I'm not a fan of poached eggs, but I do see the appeal, I don't like the runny yoke stuff, so always do scrambled eggs in the microwave 2mins 40sec, abit of butter and milk... perfect every time... well perfect for me, just how I like it 😂 I guess everyone has their favourite way of cooking, or takeaway wether it's Chinese, or Indian or chippy.. hope you're having a great weekend, Terry 😊
@@TelThePower Hello Terry. I understand. In fact I make more scrambled eggs than any other type of egg. I don't use milk , just butter , black pepper ,maybe cheese sometimes and mix in a dollop on full fat mayonnaise at the end . The mayonnaise makes it rich and you will last for hours not wanting to eat anything. Whatever works for you and makes you happy , I say go for it . I'm good thank you .I hope you are too sweet xx 😘
@@butterflydiva1Thanks for the mayonnaise tip Maria, I'll give it a try this week 👍
Enjoy your afternoon/evening ☺️
What wattage microwave is this, bc I have a 1250 watt and I have to guess at lowering the power.
Trial and error - start at 50 seconds and keep adding
been doing this since 1983 - also plop a little butter in the water to give the egg that rich taste that can be achieved using poaching cups.
How many years were you in the food business? I'm pulling your chain a bit but didn't you ever learn how to use a knife 😀! Pulling at your toast that way.
I also leave the egg to stand for 10 secs before opening the microwave.
👍good to find your channel
Your not a bad egg yourself Darren!.
I have tried every method I have ever heard of so I’ll have to try this one ! so I’m going to have to get a cup !
also, does the timing change if I use two or more cups/eggs ? I think we should be told !
I don’t have a toaster, which is why I have a cooker with an eye level grill ! (no it isn’t I hate toasters)
PS does it make a difference if your cups are stonewear ?
Trial and error
Top tip 👍 and that'll definitely save me some time and messing about in the mornings.
Love this
Had one a hour before bed. Yum-yum!👍Takes longer to toast the bread. 3 minute meal tops!
That is the most effort put into toasting a slice of bread that I have ever seen.
Good idea for a quick 'egg-ding' but I prefer the control of an open pan, once that microwave door is shut you've lost control of your egg. :)
🙂👍🏼🙏🏼
Excellent tip Darren it looked cooked to perfection
