I am sure I am the last to know this, but just in case.
I tried making poached eggs a couple of times and failed and figured it just wasn't worth the bother. Still I was always puzzled by the fact that even low rent brunch places managed to crank them out at a steady clip. There must be some trick. There is!
Get a tea cup. Fill halfwayish with water, enough to submerge an egg. Crack your egg into the water. Put in the microwave for 45-60 seconds depending on how you like it. Perfect poached egg.
