How Do You Use A Nordic Ware 2-Cup Microwave Egg Poacher?
Microwave egg poachers are a great way to cook eggs without the mess of poaching them on the stove, and without the butter and grease of scrambling or frying them. A Nordic Ware 2-cup Microwave Egg Poacher costs about $2 and can be used to poach two eggs in the microwave in about two minutes. Test the wattage of your microwave by heating a mug of water. See “What Wattage Is My Microwave Oven?” in the Reference section for a chart of microwave wattages based on how long it takes the water to boil. This will allow you to adjust the cooking time based on your microwave, preventing overcooked eggs. If this is your first time using the microwave egg poacher, wash it with warm soapy water and dry well. Crack an egg into one or both cups of the microwave egg poacher. Pierce the yolks with a fork and add half a teaspoon of water to each side. Close the cover and place the egg poacher in the microwave. The exact cooking time will depend on your microwave’s wattage, which you tested in Step 1. O
