Haven't you got a toaster Darren, 1 min for egg 5 mins for toast!😂😂

Love these nifty and healthy tips. Especially when poached eggs happen to be one of my favourite things either for brekkie or lunch, or to top and drizzle through a crisp and fresh green leafy bacon lardon salad! SO simple, but Oh My! Thank you :)

That's how I will be doing my poached eggs from now on thank you for sharing Darren xxx

Nice one Darren, I have poached eggs on toast for breakfast everyday love it . That egg looked spot on .👍🇬🇧👍

Thanks for sharing Darren John.

Between the air fryer method which involves oil, water, 8 or 9 minutes cooking time,scrubbing the baked on oil after you have eaten your poached egg!!! The microwave method is the way to go, been doing this for years, thumbs up Darren👍

Excellent. I love poached eggs. I'm definitely giving this a try.

Thank you for sharing darren

Thats how I will be doing my poached eggs thank you for sharing Darren it is so easy.

Thank you Darren, so easy to do and the egg keeps a good shape!

Brilliant Darren. Definitely be giving it a go. Poached eggs are my all time favourite breakfast. Looked lovely! 🥰☀️🥰xxx

That poached egg Darren looks so yummy, I love poached eggs your right they are healthy and have protein 👍🤗❤️

Wow ...thanks Darren for showing me this tip , love poached eggs but hate cleaning the saucepan after, can't wait to try it 👍

Thanks for sharing your top tip , on poaching eggs. Thanks DJ 🤗

Yep, I can vouch for this👍 Coffee mug, pinch of salt and pepper, coupla drops vinegar, 3/4 fill with boiling water, crack in egg, 60 secs in 800w microdiddle....perfect poached eggs with runny yolks...guaranteed! 90 seconds for two mugs/two eggs.

small to medium coffee cup will do! Room temp water at 50-75% fill, ....put in the egg. Microwave on 40-50 seconds. Wallah!!! Perfect poached egg. Put on toast, over rice, eggs Benedict, on a stew, meat, hamburger, etc. Perfection. Thank you so much!

I’m so gonna try that in the morning now. Thank you Darren. Have a lovely evening. ❤

Darren i have just found your great channel and subscribed, i am 62 years old and every day is an education. Just made myself a perfect poached egg on seeded bread and what can i say. Fantastically easy and done to perfection mate. Going to look at more of your vids,take care fella😉

Darren John - I spent weeks messing up poached eggs until the point that I gave up. Then i saw your video ! You saved me from the other side of the pond. Thanks. I’m now a hero again in my wife’s eyes ( she was ready to leave me over my wimpy poached eggs ).

Brilliant...ty Darren

First time ever that I had poached eggs! Simple and easy! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for sharing, it is highly appreciated.

That’s a perfect poached egg.I will have it on Saturday morning.Thanks Darren.

I’ll have to try this DJ thanks for sharing 👍👍

Thank you for the Quick Poached Egg!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to start doing this!!!

Hi Darren I'll maybe try it one day,so so many different ways to poach an egg,I've tried the ones you don't use water smear butter on ceramic cup put lid on then microwave its either under done or explodes in the experimental stage till you nail it,even depends on size of your egg.

Thank you. I ❤ your method very much😊😊!

as always very enjoyable content DJ.

This is really helpful.I have avoided poached eggs because of hassle and over cooking them. Will definitely try this 👍

This video blew up, nice one DJ. Hope it continues for you, much deserved.

What a brilliant hack! Cheers from a poached egg lover!

I've learned something, and I am cross that I didn't know this before! Thanks.

I love poached eggs,you have so many options with eggs and all taste so different

Absolute Genius Darren!

Nice one Darren. Ironically enough I saw someone else on RU-vid do this today but he boiled the water first. So I'll definitely give it a try to see how it works out. Great video. Take care and all the best. 👍.

Measuring cups tend to be made of either plastic or steel. Neither of which should go in the microwave. You can just use a ceramic coffee mug and it works the same.

Great idea .... off the charts. 👍

Do it most every day. 70sec poached egg. Microwaved 😊😊😊. Oh yeah coffee to. Yum yummy. Thanks for sharing.

That’ll do for me, a perfectly done poached egg. My attempts over the years have been disastrous- so I gave up trying and eating them poached. Thank you for the tip 👌

I've been poaching eggs this way for a while but mine have been kind of hit or miss, you kinda have a formula of 1\2 cup water, 1-minute perfect egg. I like the way everyone is busting your chops about no toaster, all in good fun, I'm sure. Looking forward to many more cooking tips, always looking for quicker ways to cut down meal prep, Thanks

Nice one Darran love poached eggs.

'I'm trying,' ...me too buddy, me too. That's exactly the sort of thing I'd have for brekkie. Man after my own heart. Subscribed 👍

Thank you Darren!

Poached eggs on toast, mmmm....😋. I want some right now!..😁

Great job! I will try it tomorrow morning!

A brilliant way to poach an egg, I tried it this morning at 1 minute the egg was only slightly runny. Tomorrow I will try 50 seconds. Thanks again.

Thanks. I get up at 4am for work every weekday and for me this is a perfect quick breakfast.

Amazing. Will be making one this morning - thanks DJ for this top tip. x

Thanks Darren love to family x

I put 3 eggs in a bowl with water and zap for just under 2 mins and like Yours... perfect every time! Been doing this for a few years now!

thank you for this Darren. I love poached eggs but mine never work. This is a brilliant way.

🇦🇺 😀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 excellent! Thank you darren ,what gem you are .

Thats how my nan used to do them for me when i was young ❤

No butter on the toast? You're yolking?

That's a real kitchen hack thanks mush ❤

I do scrambled eggs in the microwave. Just put the eggs in a cup, whisk them up, 30 seconds take out give it another whisk and put in for another 10 seconds or so (depending on your microwave) 🥚🥚🥚👍

Will certainly try this, love a poached egg

Thanks Darren I tried it fantastic mate much appreciated Shane in Sydney 👍🇦🇺

Wow will definitely give that one a go 😊

Looks perfect will try this

You make it look so easy Darren for myself I’m totally hopeless at cooking 🙈 but for sure I’m going to try this ❤

I’d love to be able to do poached eggs like the pros do, looking all wispy etc.. but a decent microwave one is great. Just add some butter to the toast, and another ten or twenty seconds in the microwave would be ideal!

Brilliant, so quick and no mess. I remember asking my son to boil me 2 eggs a couple of years ago as I needed protein. I told him what to do but when he brought them to me they were just slush. He’d boiled a kettle and poured it into the saucepan where the eggs were and after 4 minutes or so he assumed that was it. That was his first attempt at cooking, thankfully he’s got so much better although he really doesn’t enjoy it. He gave me a good laugh though

That looks like a great egg, just how I like them. Definitely going to try that.

Egg-sactly what I needed! Thanks Darren!

Brilliant thanks for sharing 👍

Great idea, LOVE eggs cooked in any fashion so will give it a try, however, what setting do you use? I assume very low, otherwise the water will boil.

£3 to cook the toast....

Very useful thanks

Love poached eggs 🥚 👍😍

Nice one Darren !

been doing this since 1983 - also plop a little butter in the water to give the egg that rich taste that can be achieved using poaching cups. How many years were you in the food business? I'm pulling your chain a bit but didn't you ever learn how to use a knife 😀! Pulling at your toast that way. I also leave the egg to stand for 10 secs before opening the microwave. 👍good to find your channel

Great tip Darren Will certainly try it xx👍👍

i put my big clumsy dualit toaster in the cupboard as soon as i got my ninja dual.....i do me toast in each drawer on max crisp comes out lovely fyi darren 😜😋love poached eggs too cheers

wow nice.thankyou.never done poached eggs

Cheers Darren haven’t a stove at the moment but have a microwave gonna do this have a good day 😊🙃

Top tip 👍 and that'll definitely save me some time and messing about in the mornings.

Had one a hour before bed. Yum-yum!👍Takes longer to toast the bread. 3 minute meal tops!

Evening Darren, used vereation on a theme 😊over the years. For my taste, yours needed another 30sec. The white was a little snotty & not quite set.But always open to new ideas ❤😊Cheers A Allan&Family

Gonna give that a go tomorrow 😊

Great video, i'll try it. Every time i've tried to microwave cracked eggs in a bowl they either went perfectly or blew up and coated the microwave in egg. Maybe with them being in water makes all the difference

Great idea going to try it this morning. Brilliant.

Thank you Sir

Much appreciated darren .Cos I'm absolutely awful at poached eggs.

Wow Darren do more poached eggs lots views perfect 😊

Your not a bad egg yourself Darren!.

Feck me it works!👍 A word of caution to others, results will vary depending on micro wattage and egg size one minute is your starter mark. If it’s underdone, like my first attempt, just give it 5-10 second blasts til you get there. Mine are perfect at 1:12 but my brother tried it in his and he said the yolk fell out of the white and rolled off the plate🤣

Worked a treat, went out and got more eggs, so it's poached eggs and toast for breakfast, thanks.

Excellent tip Darren it looked cooked to perfection

I will be trying this out tonight when home from work 🙂

Thats great tip, went to Weatherspoon in Llandudno ( The Palladium), asked for eggs benedict, they say we got no poached eggs😮, They buy them in from Brakes, they had fried eggs😅, no chef there then,

what wattage your microwave? Water added cold tap temp ?

I've been poaching eggs in tea mugs for years. You just rub a bit of olive oil on the inside to avoid any sticking. Usually put it on a lower setting for around 20 seconds. If you go full power you will end up with a hard yolk in a few seconds.

Nice one 👍

I do my poached eggs in my omelette maker so I can do 2 together. So easy, a bit of water in each compartment drop the eggs in, close the lid and 2 to 3 minutes later I get the best poached eggs and so easy to clean after. I have tried the microwave method and mostly its been great but ive had 2 explosions and if that happens it a mighty clean up of all the splattered egg. Great video though, thanks

Thanks m8!

I used to be a chef , we learned to cut corners, which didn't compromise the flavour. Great hack. If you've a kettle that's just boiled you can add the water in a hot pan and a ladle with a knob of butter , crack an egg and let it do its thing. But yes granted your hack is quicker .Thank you for sharing sweet xx ❤️

You was bang on with your Tenerife shandy so I'm gonna try your poached egg way lol👍

Yea, going to try this as I'm rubbish at poaching. More ideas pls☺☺☺
