This is the only video (out of 6) that I found that mentions the microwave wattage, thank you

[@jeanhopman5659]

Tip: ALWAYS use exactly the same container and volume of water for the same result. It makes a big difference.

[@maryd5231]

Looks delicious and perfect, can’t wait to try it! Thank you!

You are so welcome!

It works, stunning.

Perfect and simple yet detailed demonstration. Thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

I've been looking for videos on how to do a poached egg in a microwave. All the English language videos I've found so far are American. America uses a system of measurements only they understand. So as a non-American can I thank you so much for having that jar with the metric units turned towards the camera!! I now know roughly how much an American 'cup' is. You're a hero.

[@cookingmadeeasyfast8595]

Glad it was helpful!

[@usernamemykel]

You've never used a search engine such as "Google" or "Duckduckgo", or even enquired of "Alexa" or "Siri" for information???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[@trinkabuszczuk6138]

I did two of these this morning. I used half a cup of water but put it in a shallow dish. I also cracked the egg into a shallow dish first so it didn’t spread out too much as it may have done falling from a height. Turned out almost perfect. Next time I’ll try fifty seconds. 😊

[@User4622Vp]

awesomeness

[@danguee1]

Looks good - and well explained. But, seriously, you do need some Marmite - or for Aussies, Vegemite - on that toast. Or, when I'm on holiday for some crazy reason - Bovril.

[@usernamemykel]

Why don't creators of microwaved oven egg poaching advise us of their ovens WATTAGE, so that we can make appropriate adjustments?

[@fullerstudent]

Never have I ever in the past 4 decades of my life, known the wattage of my microwave

[@usernamemykel]

@@fullerstudent Never cared to look at the label, usually on the rear of the unit? Never wanted/needed to know, or just lazy???

[@fabianmckenna8197]

My last microwave was 800 watts but my latest model is 1,000 watts with variable power control. If you're not sure, just start off with 30 seconds , check, 15 seconds, check, 15 seconds, check...... It's only an egg so no great loss if the first one is overcooked, as long as you remember for next time. A bit like Air Fryers with everyone asking how long, what temperatures etc..... try it out according to instructions and adjust it up or down, instead of moaning that settings were wrong. Air fried a lot of stuff that would normally go in the oven, even a whole chicken and results have been fine but wasn't happy with the way some roast beef came out so well carry on with the oven for that. Simple!

[@leanneb9529]

It said it was a 1,000 watts...

[@a.jlafontzee4238]

Nice Cutco knife, do you have more?

[@cookingmadeeasyfast8595]

Thx!...Yes..I luv Cutco!!!

[@DrMontague]

Are you using an inverter microwave? if you don't then you get hot spots

[@Tree_Surgeon87]

How long for 3 eggs together

[@billhernandez9658]

Mine comes out overcooked on the bottom or raw. I have had a few explode.

[@jonwhitehair246]

Is the egg right out of the refrigerator or a room temp?

[@cookingmadeeasyfast8595]

Good Question !....Right out of Fridge!

[@fabianmckenna8197]

Of course it all depends on which part of the world you live.......... US eggs have to be kept in the refrigerator so that's a no brainer. UK eggs are kept at room temperature.

[@xenaburg2362]

How many minutes for 800 watt

Cool. Subscribed. Look forwars for more simple cooking videos. :)

[@hyena131]

@@cookingmadeeasyfast8595 You can't cook four poached eggs at the same time? To cook them one by one would be a pain. And what hungry, red blooded man eats only one egg for breakfast?

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

Not quite! Looks a bit snotty in places!

[@luiscannon8808]

What if you want two eggs at the same time. Riddle me that one??

[@6panel300]

In the same jug add a bit more water and increase the cooking time (which you'd have to experiment), or fire 2 separate jugs just double the cooking time (more or less).

[@nanoliquidcoatingmachineso8326]

Why do we put salt in the water?

[@cookingmadeeasyfast8595]

To increase the temperature of boiling water. This allows the whites to cook a little faster and leave a slightly moister yolk.

[@73dlb]

@@cookingmadeeasyfast8595 Explains why my white was runny and my yolk started to firm. Good tip, next time salt.

[@ArtStoneUS]

The same applies to making hard boiled eggs in a pot on the oven. Add salt to the water to raise the boiling temperature and you'll get a much better outcome

[@brendanhawkins4901]

😊​@@ArtStoneUS

[@mgtproductions9524]

I have had bad experiences microwaving eggs. At best you get a rock hard yolk, at worse they explode like napalm when you take them out of the microwave.

[@johnjdevlin2610]

A little sprinkling of dried coriander on the eggs will mask the napalm flavor.

[@jimmybeegood]

Youl put Gordon Ramsay on a 2 day week .

[@HateDietPepsi]

Doesn't work in the older Microwaves because water does not heat evenly and egg does not cook evenly.

[@Pseudonym-aka-alias]

Followed your instructions but it took longer than a minute and the egg exploded😡

[@mentaritravel1004]

that means your egg is bigger, and you need more water. the point is to cover the egg in the water so it won't explode..

[@HateDietPepsi]

It doesn't work in all microwaves.

[@kaldobie5994]

Ingenious. You should try to spice up your show by insulting inexperienced chefs for simple mistakes like Gordon Ramsay

[@cookingmadeeasyfast8595]

Lol...Thanks!

[@boblynnsr.7434]

Who crapped in your Wheaties 😳😳??

[@awallis212]

Don’t do this - the egg can still explode after removal from microwave - scalding egg in your face!
