If you’re a fan of a poached egg<\/a><\/strong> on toast but struggle with traditional methods, a new TikTok hack might be just what you need. The popular TikTok user @chefspartypants claims you can achieve a perfectly poached egg in as little as 44 seconds using a microwave. Intrigued by this quick method, I decided to put it to the test to see if it lives up to the hype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Quick and Simple Method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Poached eggs have been a breakfast favourite of mine, especially when paired with salmon on toasted sourdough bread. However, I\u2019ve often found the process challenging. Traditional poaching methods often result in disintegrated whites and a less-than-perfect yolk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TikTok hack suggests using a microwave to simplify the process. All you need is a microwave-safe cup, water, a toothpick or sharp knife, and a microwave-safe plate. Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide based on my experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Prepare the Ingredients: Start with a fresh egg for the best results. Room temperature eggs work best, so remove them from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking if possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Set Up: Fill a microwave-safe cup with about a quarter of water. Crack the egg into the cup, ensuring the water covers the egg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pierce the Yolk: Using a toothpick, knife, or fork, carefully pierce the yolk. This step is crucial to prevent the egg from bursting in the microwave.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cover and Cook: Place a microwave-safe plate over the cup. Microwave the egg on high for 44 seconds. Check the egg; if the whites and yolk are not fully cooked, add another 16 seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Serve: Once the egg is cooked to your liking, carefully remove it with a spoon. Place it on a paper towel to drain any excess water. Then, serve it on a slice of toasted sourdough bread, seasoned with salt and black pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Perfect Timing for Your Microwave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Finding the ideal cooking time for your specific microwave might require some experimentation. For my 900W microwave, 60 seconds was the sweet spot. Although the egg turned out well with a runny yolk, there is room for a bit more adjustment depending on how runny you prefer your yolk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Practical Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To avoid messes, always cover the cup with a microwave-safe plate. This prevents any potential egg explosions from splattering inside the microwave. Additionally, using the freshest eggs will yield the best results and more consistent cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    While the microwave method for poaching eggs might seem unconventional, it offers a quick and convenient alternative to traditional poaching. With a bit of practice to perfect the timing, you can enjoy a delicious poached egg in just a minute. So next time you’re in a hurry but craving a poached egg, give this microwave hack a try!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
