IT'S a quest that even some chefs haven't successfully conquered – how to cook the perfect poached egg.
But one woman claims to have discovered the secret formula, and says it works every single time.
"I recently learned how to poach an egg, and I thank whoever it was on TikTok," she said in her video.
"Break an egg into a small Pyrex bowl," she began.
"Add a little bit of water – just enough to cover the yolk – and put it in the microwave."
She then said that she has experimented with the time the egg is in there for, and has found that 44 seconds is the optimum length of time.

However, she did say it can stay in for anything from 36 to 45 seconds.
"Out comes the perfect poached egg," she said as she took the dish out of the microwave.
She then used a slatted spoon to remove the egg from the dish, before placing it on a plate and cutting into it to show the perfectly runny yolk.
The video was shared by jewellery designer Dana Rebecca, who captioned it: "My mum is obsessed with tiktok and this new hack!"
