Trudeau Microwave Egg Poacher

While the texture is very similar to traditional poaching, the microwave method is slightly faster and more uniform. You will get a firm white and a runny yolk, though the edges may be slightly more defined than when cooked in a swirling pot of water.

While the surface is non-stick, a light spray of oil or a small dab of butter is recommended. This ensures the egg releases perfectly every time without any sticking.

Cooking times vary based on your microwave's wattage, but most eggs reach a perfect medium-poach consistency in about 45 to 60 seconds. We recommend starting with 45 seconds and adding time in 10-second increments until you find your preferred doneness.

Yes, the silicone construction is dishwasher safe. It is also flexible enough to be easily hand-washed with warm, soapy water if you prefer.

Microwaving eggs can be risky if the yolk membrane is intact, as pressure builds up. To prevent this, always pierce the yolk gently with a toothpick or fork before cooking.
