 1 Open up the egg poacher onto a plastic plate. Oil the inside of the egg poacher. Plastic plates don’t get as hot in the microwave.  | 
  
   
 2 Crack an egg on a hard dish edge to make a break in the shell.  | 
 
| 
   
 3 Hold the break up until you get the egg over the egg poacher.  | 
  
   
 4 Use both thumbs to pry the egg shell apart.  | 
 
| 
   
 5 Puncture the yolk of the egg with a fork.  | 
  
   
 6 Put a spoonful of water in with the egg.  | 
 
| 
   
 7 Put the poacher lid on and secure it closed by sliding the knob.  | 
  
   
 8 Open the microwave door before you lift up the plate. Stabilize the poacher handle or it will tip raw egg out. One egg cook for 1 minute and 10 seconds. Two eggs cook for 1 minute and 25 seconds.  |

 9 Serve onto Toast.  |
