So fast and easy! I needed to reduce time by a few seconds, but otherwise it was perfect. And FYI: traditionally, vinegar is added to poaching water to keep the egg whites from spreading out. 1/4 tsp is fine for this recipe, and does not affect the taste of the egg at all. - 6/25/13

The vinegar is gross. Take a few seconds and just boil water! - 1/14/10

Fantastic! I added 15 seconds to the time (I have a 950 Watt Micro) and it came out Perfect! I put it on 1 slice of Ezekiel Bread and 1/2 slice of pepper jack cheese and it was Delicious!! This will now be a regular breakfast option for me. Thanks TOICARA!!! - 1/3/10

Just use boiling water to start with and you don't need the vinegar. - 9/13/09

I needed to cook mine a bit longer and I think this may take some practice to get the timing just right. My yolk cooked up completely. So maybe a bit too long on my part but was OK with me anyway. Quick and easy short cut by using microwave. Thank you - 7/2/17
