Hi, Gareth, thats another eggcelent video.a valiant attempt at trying new methods but after your extensive research its been concluded that sticking with the old ways is the best. Keep up the spot on work. Best wishes from Scotland.
I knew eggxactly what was going to happen but I did find it eggxiting and I'm a bit shell shocked over the situation 🤣🤣🤣sorry couldn't resist at least you tried it again so you didn't get egg on your face 🤣🤣brilliant video as usual made me smile have a good day young man from joff the trucker
I love these videos! My little brother works nights as a doorman and I've told him about the microwave roast dinners I saw on one of your videos and he loves them!
I just put three quarters of a mug of boiling water in a mug, add a raw egg, heat for 40 seconds, turns out spot on. To be fair though doesn't take much longer in a saucepan on top of the oven. You need more water in I think so the egg literally poaches in the water.
YES, this is the best way to do it, boiled water half cup, place raw egg in BUT cover with a plate and 45 seconds, absolutely gorgeous, NO BUTTER AT ALL!!!
There is an art to this. My tip is to turn the power down to medium, and a little more water. People often forget they can turn the power down on microwaves, and eggs don't like intense bursts of heat. Good 2nd effort though, and I would have eaten the first one too!
I made two in a pan the other day together; the trick is not to think it hasn’t worked when you see white all over the water, couple of minutes later you fish out two perfectly poached eggs.
Well Gareth that really made me laugh,I saw it coming as soon as you stuck that cup in microwave with no cover and as you just said you’d just cleaned your microwave I’d already started laughing , then your face when you saw the mess and said I’m gonna have to clean it again , priceless, it took me back years ago when I was boiling a pan of eggs and forgot, they burnt dry I heard these explosions , the walls and ceiling were splattered, what a mess & a job cleaning it up. Need more laughs like that, I’ll watch it again, take care
@@BaldFoodieGuy i did that too but i did mine on the hob i forgot about them and they really did make one hell of a mess all over the ceiling it even burnt the pan it took me ages to get rid of the burnt egg spell
Hi from Florida, USA. I’m American and quite the foodie. Ok, I see a possible problem. Your microwave is 1200 watts. I have 1000 watts so about 50 seconds for a poached egg. Use a little more water like 30 ml not 20. We Americans refrigerate eggs so I leave it out at room temp but I think my UK friends do not refrigerate them. So I’m thinking you need to reduce the power from full to maybe half and give it another try. I just made a poached egg in a ceramic coffee cup. First try, perfection.
Great 'eggsperiment' Gareth, you're a scientist, 🥚🍳🍛 ! I've seen some the guys do this at work, however; I don't know what their secret is. It's all fun, enjoy pal.
😆 Nice one Gaz... That gave me a good laugh mate... There wasn't enough water in the cup my friend... There's supposed to be 50% water in the cup with no butter either... Once the Egg is cracked into the cup... Use a toothpick or pointed sharp knife to pierce the Egg Yolk... This prevents a build-up of pressure in the Egg Yolk... This stops the Egg Yolk from exploding in the microwave... Your 800 Watt microwave needs to be set for one minute exactly... Once removed after cooking... If it's still slightly underdone just leave it in the hot water for another fifteen to twenty seconds or so... It should then be perfect... Once you try it a few times... You'll start to make them perfect every time... Don't give up on it mate... You'll eventually get there buddy... Remember there's plenty of (how to) videos on this platform... All the best... Cheers Gaz. 🍺
@@majiek1304 As soon as Gaz put a tiny amount of water in the cup... And didn't pierce the Egg Yolk... I knew what was about to happen... I was just waiting for the inevitable pop or bang... 😆😆😆
You can't beat the old fashioned way of poaching eggs. A gentle simmer and 3-4 mins depending on the size. I tried some of those weird rubber/plastic poaching cup things once and they were bloody useless. About 15 mins in the eggs were still raw.
No Gareth, do it the old way! I'm from Warrington and I'm a staunch rugby league fan. Your accent reminds me of all our excellent players gone by! The Cumbrian lads were absolutely spot on and such lovely blokes! We don't get many nowadays but omg, best players ever! 😘
YES, this is the best way to do it, boiled water half cup, place raw egg in BUT cover with a plate and 45 seconds, absolutely gorgeous, NO BUTTER AT ALL!!!
@@steventeasdale9082 If I understand this right, water is boiling in the cup, you then add the egg, no microwave and in 45 seconds, it is perfectly poached without any chance of it exploding?
Saw your video this morning I thought I try it, omw I stick to a boiling a egg in pan. Yesterday I try this but in a big glass bowl with similar water to boiling a egg in a pan. I work so well should have suck to it. Never mind my microwave alot clean now 🤣 keep up the good work.
Reminds me of when we used you gate crash parties when in school and parents were away. Too much cider and had to put an egg in the microwave... early 80's so you had to be posh to have one. Made a bit of a mess... sorry to all the parents out there that may be still alive and watching😉
PMSL you really make me laugh Gareth. While Your Good Lady's presumably at work, you're experimenting with eggs 😂😂 But I know you're working too. As us Northern Ireland folk say You're an eejit 😃😃 I'm not a poached egg person, I'm too common for that malarkey. I like mine boiled, scrambled, omelette, fried ( with a runny yolk 😋😋) All the best 🤗😘xxx
Gareth it turned out good in the end lol, after reading some of the messages l don't think it's worth doing microwave had a laugh thinking about my time scotch eggs in microwave was going party in park friend decided to knock while l was waiting forgot about them exploded really made mess never again, great video ♥️😂😂🤣
My wife once poached 2 eggs for me and served them on toast. She brought them to me, and I sprinkled a little salt on them. Then I prodded my fork into the first yolk.....WHOOSH........egg all over the ceiling. She hadn't pricked the yolks .
Have you tried the cling film method? Line a cup with cling film, grease the cling film with oil, crack the egg into the cling filmed cup, wrap the egg quite firmly to remove air, seal the cling film with a clip or elastic band then poach for 4-5 minutes in simmering, not boiling water. Almost the same as what you already do, but perfectly shaped every time when you get used to it. Plus you can do many at the same time because they won't stick to each other.
The best method I found is to sous vide them but it's a bit of a palavah. Set temp to 74c then drop the eggs in still in the shell. Take them out after 15 mins or dump in them in freezing cold water to stop the cooking. You can keep them in the fridge for a few days that way. Then take them out of the shell and drop into boiled water for a minute.
The eggcitment builds in the Gareth household. Will his poach egg eggsplode wiping Cumbria off the map or will Gareth cook it to perfection. Tune in next week for another cooking eggstravaganza
I find the comments most helpful. Poke the eggs, cold water, no warm water, turn microwave power down, this much water, no too much water, off set the bowl off center, break up timing of cooking egg from 1 minute to thirty seconds x 2, etcetera . Reminds me of Hamlet’s monkeys( an infinite number of monkeys typing on infinite number of keyboards …) trying an infinite number of ways with a microwave will eventually get a perfect poached egg.
you need to pierce the yolk to avoid the eggs exploding! Releases the tension around the yolk - try a silicon egg poacher - can be used for other small stuff
This is right. Butter the cup. Give em a few seconds and see how they are. If you're finding the yolk is taking longer than the white, sprinkle a little salt on the yolk. Thirty seconds should be a guide. The thing will keep cooking. Great videos. Keep going.👍
As soon as a watched you put it in the microwave you was pretty lucky it didn't all come out. When putting a egg in a microwave you always need to just prick the Yoke to stop that happening as the yoke in in a sack and the steam can't escape we have all done it. As long as you prick the yoke with a skewer you can cook a egg on a plate comes out like a fried egg.
Great video gareth I have done this many times on nights in work and it is an art I always used a curved bowl boiling water add the egg and check regularly as the microwaves we had were industrial ones l we called them Chernobyl but they did the trick 1800 watts rather a firm egg than a phlegmy one 👍👍🍞🍞🥚🥚
Great to see, I also tried this after the same person commented. I thought he said use lots of water so I went with 500ml of boiling water in a cup and then I cracked the egg in pre microwave it looked like a mistake but when fished out the cup was spot on.
My mum once cooked a haggis in the microwave. It was up there in the top five funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life. It came alive and grew like a snake until it completely filled the space. Hilarious. Your eggsperiment made me lol 😂
I once cooked a whole chicken in the microwave it took arround twenty mins !!!I wouldn't do it again! Eggs are difficult you can get special cups for eggs for the microwave.
I do like poached eggs done in a pan with the silicone poachers another way I like to do poached eggs wrap the egg in cling film make sure there's plenty of cling film to wrap the egg in knott the cling film place in water Cook on the cooker the poached eggs come out lovely that is what I'm just about to do for tea with sausage & bacon yummy
It’s like a gourmet mcds breakfast McMuffin egg. Imagine the skill involved working 100 microwaves at a time to keep up with orders and produce perfect eggs every time
The secret to a perfect microwave poached egg, apart from sticking a cocktail stick in the yolk, is it has to be very fresh, farm eggs are the best, they're getting on for a week old before you get them in the shops.
Oh dear, A that's going to explode and B you're going to be cleaning that microwave again. Plastic Jug, 300~400ml of boiling water a couple chopped up lemons, and cook on full power for a good 5~10 minutes, the lemony steam will clean it lovely. Ooh and you can't melt candle wax in a microwave either (Ask me how I know) And DON'T pull it out and look straight into the mug, if it explodes you're getting an eye full of boiling hot egg that's stick to your eyeballs wet surface. If you are doing a lot of poached eggs, in the frying pan with a decent depth of water will work fine. Ooh and microwaves work better at the edges, not in the center.
I usually melt some butter in a Ramekin. Then crack the egg in . Pierce the yolk with a cocktail stick. Cover with cling film and then put it in microwave for about 30 secs on full.
I make pitta bread pizza for my son I put tomato pasta sauce on top of of the pitta bread cheese ham pineapple and extra cheese on top half way through
Whoever told you to put water into the mug was totally wrong instead use a small dish no water obvs and put it in the microwave cover it up with two pieces of kitchen paper and ONLY put it in for 30 seconds and it’s perfect believe me as I’ve been doing this method for years and years now and good Luck btw !!!! Xx 👌🤞 Xx
Should try it in the ninja mate. You need some ramekins or silicone egg poach things. Put a cup of water in the ninja. Lightly oil the ramekins put the eggs in the ninja ( pot not crisping basket) and set to pressure cook/steam for 3 mins. Best/easiest way of doing them imo
I have an Instant Pot and do have the egg cooker, it looks like a flower. Do I cover the eggs on the steam mode? This appears to be the easiest method.
Erm no don't do that as it can make a right old mess. If you are heating stuff in a mug the centre is the worst place, place it near the rim. HP sauce goes well with eggs on toast. ;-)
Nothing wrong with Aldi eggs or Nordpack butter, I went shopping earlier in Aldi, it cost me £64 for a weeks shopping that was with a fire extinguisher for my car boot at £5 (You just never know) lol and a carbon monoxide alarm thing for my flat £10..(with the batteries... yaaay!!) But Gareth, your videos are appreciated and enjoyed by many.
I love poached eggs I crack eggs in cling film tie it and poach in the pan it works for me my husband likes it the old fashioned way a splash of viniger in the pan of boiling water
"I'm gonna give the mug a good lubing" where have i heard that before? 😂

Hi Gareth I hope you enjoyed your
Poached egg after all that effort!

Definitely not lol

Quick..chuck some butter into the mug and beat it up ..for an egg butty..😋
Use a shallower cup, like a cappuccino cup, ½ cup of cold water, a little salt, nuke it for 1 minute and you will have a near perfect poached egg.
Cheers
85 seconds seems to be spot on!
cheers
You'll know what to do next time Gaz, prick the egg yokes!!!! 😆Xx
Pricking the yolk with a fork before you poach is an idea...they always explode otherwise

The secret to a perfect microwave poached egg, apart from sticking a cocktail stick in the yolk, is it has to be very fresh, farm eggs are the best, they're getting on for a week old before you get them in the shops.
Also helps with a clear glass container so you can see the progress.
Try it with a damp kitchen towel over the top and only 40 seconds

Oh dear, A that's going to explode and B you're going to be cleaning that microwave again.

Place the egg in off the boil stirred water for 2 minutes and job done, easy.

I put the egg in the cup first, then water. I never pierce the yolk and also cook it for about 50 seconds. They normally turn out perfectly.
10 sec too long then
@@BaldFoodieGuy Yup. You need more water too or the egg will cook too quickly.
At least you gave it a go!! Best stick to what you know best never mind 👍🏼😜🤩
i got the second attempt right well nearly lol
😂😂😂😂😂 put cling film over the top with holes in it!
cheers
Erm no don't do that as it can make a right old mess. If you are heating stuff in a mug the centre is the worst place, place it near the rim. HP sauce goes well with eggs on toast. ;-)
yes it got the brown sauce treatment
Nothing wrong with Aldi eggs or Nordpack butter, I went shopping earlier in Aldi, it cost me £64 for a weeks shopping that was with a fire extinguisher for my car boot at £5 (You just never know) lol and a carbon monoxide alarm thing for my flat £10..(with the batteries... yaaay!!) But Gareth, your videos are appreciated and enjoyed by many.
yes we shop at Aldi alot.
If you are using a microwave Gareth, don't put the item in the middle. Always put it off centre to heat as evenly as possible :)
cheers
