The above appealed to me and I thought I'd make a couple with a cuppa... 1) Went and bought some eggs from the shop, medium organic ones. 2) Tried 'poaching' in the micro on 600W for 40 secs...at about 38 secs the egg exploded violently. 3) Cleaned microwave. 4) Tried 'poaching' another egg but for 20 secs, leave it a bit and then for another 20 secs..the egg exploded at about 40 secs. 5) Made exploded egg McMuffin with turkey ham, not bad at all. 6) Cleaned microowave. 7) Tried 'poaching' egg again, starting with 30 secs, then 10 sec bursts until it was done enough. 8) Made another McMuffin with turkey ham. 9) Yum. The moral to my story seems to be that you might have to experiment with the times because not enough juice just gives you an uncokked egg while too much too quickly can make then explode. N *munch munch*There's stuff above here
