Effortless 45-second Cooking Hack for PERFECT poached eggs
- Replies 10
Cooking can feel like such a chore sometimes, especially when you’re the type of person who is always on the go! God knows when my tummy starts grumbling, labour intensive recipes and long preparation times for cooking are immediately not an option.
Thankfully, this Sydney teacher, Katie Lolas, shared an effortless cooking method for poaching perfect eggs every time in just 45 seconds— without using a stovetop!
“If you don’t have a poaching contraption on hand and hate the taste of vinegar in your poached eggs, then this is for you,” she said.
“Whether it’s for eggs Benedict or avocado toast, this is the foolproof way to make poached eggs in the microwave.”
In a recently posted Instagram video, Katie shows her exact process using just a glass of water.
She starts it off by filling a quarter of a microwave-safe glass with water for the egg to be cracked into and coated with.
“Crack an egg into the water ensuring that the egg is covered with water…” the teacher explained. “Poke the whites around the egg yolk three times with a fork or knife so the whites cook well .”
After that, she pops the glass into a microwave and sets it on high for about 45 seconds.
When it’s cooked to your liking, proceed by straining the egg and serving with your dish of choice.
Katie warns her viewers to not use the same water twice in the microwave if you’re cooking more than one egg since this leads to the water being too hot which jeopardises the process.
Katie’s Instagram video has amassed over 80,000 views and comments that praised her for her cooking tip.
A person comments: “Ummm… why has no one showed me this before??? Can’t wait to try it!”
“This is going to change my life. Thanks for sharing!” another wrote.
“Woah, I just tried this and it works perfectly!” a user added.
Katie shares in the comments section that she originally got the idea from her husband who showed it to her years ago.
