I'm wondering if it would be successful done in a pyrex measuring cup.It looks big enough to me.And I have to prick the yolk??

I don't prick the yolk, but I do zap in carefully in say 10 or 20 second batches, to avoid the explosions.

I also use a ramekin, to try and keep the white together as much as possible.
Maybe I have honed my egg microwaving to a fine art - I rarely have explosions to clean up.Or maybe the wattage makes a difference?

from microwave know how book: How to microwave poached eggs. put 30mls water and 1.5 mls vinegar into a ramekin. microwave on *high* 30-40secs till boiling. Break egg into this, pierce yolk, and cover the dish with a piece of greaseproof paper. Microwave on *med *50% * until white is nearly set. Leave to stand for 2-3 mins, shake gently once or twice during standing to help "set" the white. Do not uncover until standing time is completed. Microwave time for 1 egg 45-60 secs. Eggs done this way are yummy & come out with the white covering and set on the top, other ways tend to cook the yolk hard while the white is still slightly gooey. Note: the wattage does make a difference.

I have a small arcoroc bowl, I put boiling water in from the kettle, a small splash malt vinegar, then my egg,pop it in the microwave with a bread & butter plate on top... and in our microwave its 50 secs for a perfect egg.Never pierce it and maybe 1 in a 100 explode but the plate stops the mess.

lol, this thread reminded me of the time my Bro.walked out of a kitchen in perth. He loaded up the microwaves with eggs turned them on and had the greatest pleasure to hear the eggs explode.

Now THIS sounds very easy.:) I'm very fussy when it comes to how I like my scrambled eggs and did them for the first time a couple of weeks ago in the microwave and they were perfect so surely I can manage a boiled egg.
