Top tips

  • It’s very important to prick the egg yolk before poaching, or the yolk may explode!
  • Make sure the mug’s not too thick-sided, or the egg will take longer to cook.
  • If you like your eggs more well-done, continue to cook for 20 secs./li>
  • The timings above cover a 750W microwave. It will differ in other wattage ovens.
