Special Tips or Information:


Tip for Poached Eggs: 
Add white vinegar to the cooking water. This will make the egg white cook faster so it does not spread. I just read this online. I have not personally tried it but thought it was worth a mention. 

Tip for Microwaving Eggs:
The StoneWave cooker is a stoneware bowl with a handle and a chimney style vented lid. It's awesome for cooking eggs in the microwave! You can make soft or hard poached eggs in 1 minute. It also makes the perfect size round egg for an English muffin. It's available just about anywhere, even Walmart and Dollar General, usually in the "as seen on TV" sections. 

Otherwise, I use a custard cup to make the perfect size round egg.
