I will try that, might need a new pan first though. Do you fry it on a high heat or a low heat?

Medium heat I reckon.
Melt a knob of butter and when it's foaming pour the whisked eggs in and stir until you've got the consistency you like.
I like mine sloppy

Re: Foolproof Microwave Poached Egg.

scrambled eggs ...

try this folks

one egg per person plus one for the pan, break into a bowl but don't whisk. warm a spoon of veg oil plus a knob of butter in a non stick frying pan, pour in eggs, move around breaking up and cooking the whites leaving the yolks in one piece. Remove from heat, stir, chop it all up, serve.

Re: Foolproof Microwave Poached Egg.

Do you know, I have never, ever poached an egg!

Next time I'm in an egg mood, though, I will try that.

I will try that! I used to have a plastic microwave poacher from Betterware which worked well, but sometimes the egg would explode even after pricking it and adding water.
Fancy poached eggs for breakfast!

Re: Foolproof Microwave Poached Egg.

Mainly I have poached eggs using an egg poacher pan, I prefer the neatness of it compared to that ragged look you get when you drop an egg in boiling water - some hotels do them like that but the look of it puts me off a bit.

I bought one of those, too and it was a dismal failure - the result was more of a fried egg than a poached egg .....
