How do you poach an egg in a microwave?

You can't poach an egg in a microwave. Poaching requires the egg to cook slowly and gently in simmering water, which a microwave cannot achieve.

Microwaving an egg will result in an unevenly cooked, rubbery mess, not a delicate poached egg.

If you want to cook eggs in the microwave, you can try scrambling them or making a microwave omelet.
