How do you like your eggs in the morning? Scrambled, fried, hard boiled or poached?
If you prefer poached, which we believe is the best, then you may want to look carefully at what you're doing the next time you reach for the eggs as there may be an easier way.
This is according to TikTok creator, @danarebeccadesigns, who took to the video app to share how she poaches an egg.

She said: “I recently learned how to poach an egg, and I thank whoever it was on TikTok. Break an egg into a small Pyrex bowl, add a little bit of water - just enough to cover the yolk - and put it in the microwave."
And out comes the "perfect" poached egg and she cut it open, revealing that all important runny yolk.
Depending on the power of your microwave, the time for cooking a poached egg using this method can take anywhere between 36 to 45 seconds.
Some tried this method and said the egg exploded in the microwave. To stop this from happening, it was suggested that you can try adding a pinch of salt to the water. And if this doesn't work, you can "poke the yolk with a toothpick" instead.
Some also suggested placing clingfilm over the top of the dish for easier clean-up with many preferring this way of cooking their eggs.
After trying the hack one said: "I saw this too - AMAZING HACK!!!"
Another said: "Just tried it after watching this and they came out great! Fast and easy. Thank you as well.”
There's other things that you can do to cook your eggs if you don't want them poached. For soft-boiled eggs, according to the Express, and if you have an air fryer, switch it on to 180C and place two eggs in the basket. Set the timer to six minutes and once the timer is up, remove the eggs and peel the shell off. You should get a bright orange, runny yolk and most importantly, there's no washing up.
For hard-boiled eggs, add as many eggs to the basket as you want, and cook at 250C for 13 to 17 minutes. @Feelgoodfoodie on TikTok air fried six eggs for a total of 15 minutes. She then removed them from the gadget and immediately “plunged them in an ice bath."
After this, she slightly cracked the egg and let them “sit them in the water for a few minutes”. The water goes through the cracks and makes them easier to peel, she explained.
