Instructions

  1. Fill a small microwave-safe bowl roughly 2/3 full with water.
  2. Crack the egg and carefully slide it into the water.
  3. Place the bowl in the microwave at full power for 50 seconds. Adjust the time based on your preference: less time for a runnier yolk, more time for a firmer yolk. Be aware the yolk may pop during cooking.
  4. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot).
  5. Pour off the water, leaving the poached egg in the bowl.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
