You can poach eggs very easily in the microwave in 1 minute - saves time and tastes just as good in my opinion:

very clever!  walmart has a little microwave egg device ($4.99) that makes perfect egg patties by following the same instructions minus adding water.  I will try using it tomorrow to see if the egg comes out properly poached.

thanks for sharing!

I put a tbsp of water in my 4 oz ramekin, crack the egg on top, poke the yoke with the tines of my fork and microwave for 32 seconds in mine and it's perfect every time.  I only take out my poacher when I'm making them for a big group.

I had to play around and ruin a few eggs and clean my microwave a few times to find the right time, but it was worth it. LOL  I bring my eggs to room temp a bit so that is likely why they cook faster.  I take them out while I am drinking coffee then cook them an hour or so after sitting on the counter.

I did the same - mine used to take 1.5 mins on my old micro and only 1 on my new one. So it might also have to do with your microwave too - some are more powerful than others.
