Hey does PC have a product to make Poached eggs in? Because I think it would be GREAT idea. We tried this morning and it was VERY VERY hard and I said I am going to ask all my friends here.:D
 
I think you can poach eggs in the prep bowls -- but don't quote me on that.
 
Yes carolyn you can poach eggs in your prep bowls in the micro for about a min. I usually do mine for a min. It works great and fast!!!
 
And it's another cross sell idea. I mentioned that to a mother...your kids can make their own eggs in the prep bowls.She bought two sets.

put water in your 8" saute...( half way up) crack the egg over the pan ( when the water is simmering) gently drop the egg in, you will see how the white goes around the yolk, it takes maybe 2 -3 minutes lift it out with a slotted spoon......;) ;) ;)
 
Jill in the micro for 1 min the yolk will be slightly runny, if you want the yolk all the way cooked put it in for another 10 secs and check. Eggs are very easy to blow up in your micro, so don't cook them for long! I did this once on the phone, boy did I regret it!
 
Spray the prep bowl first, crack the egg inside, microwave for almost 1 minute (turning at 30 seconds). It pops right out when you turn it upside down! Awesome for Egg McMuffins!

Make sure to take a picture of it before you clean it up and post the pic!!!:D
 
We revel in other's misfortunes! :D
 
When poaching eggs...Make sure you put vinegar in the water. About 1 tablespoon for 3 cups water or so...I don't measure anymore, I can just tell!! Just like grandma...add a pinch of this and a half a palmful of that....

This helps keep the eggs whole so they don't seperate. I am of course talking about when you boil the water in your executive cookware! I have cooked many of them in my day...too many early morning breakfasts!!! :D :D :D
 
I love poached eggs (quite proficient making them in a pan on the stove) would LOVE to make them quickly in the micro! ;)
