I was shocked after trying M&S' game-changing microwave poached eggs – they are 10/10 perfect and ideal for lazy cooks
MANY people love preparing poached eggs for breakfast - but they can be a faff to get perfect.
However, one shopper pointed out that M&S is now selling pre-packaged poached eggs, and all you need to do is stick them in the microwave for less than one minute.

Liv, who posts under @lifeoflivsx, uploaded a video trying out the product to see if it was all it is cracked up to be.
She shared: 'So Marks and Spencers have made a big statement that they sell the perfect pre-made poached egg.
'So not gonna lie, as an egg obsessed girly, I had to give it a go.'
She said she picked them up from near to the breakfast pots and fruit in her local shop - and was ready to give them a go.
According to the M&S website, they contain 7g of protein and are "ideal for breakfast in a rush."
Holding up the packet, which had two white eggs that appeared already poached, she said: 'I can't say I'm enticed by how they look, but all you need to do is apparently put them in the microwave for 40 seconds and then they are perfect.'
Liv said she picked the two eggs up for £2.60 and said she is aware that she could make them for herself normally but wanted to try them out.
After sticking them in the microwave for less than a minute, she was left with yolky, runny eggs, which looked incredible.
She added: 'I'm pretty impressed. Oh my god look. Now I probably wouldn't buy these again because it would be a very lazy, expensive habit to do, but 10 out of 10 Marks and Spencers, well done.'
Many people were left scratching their heads at the new product - and the cost.
I tried the new picnic range from M&S - the £3.50 dip everyone needs to try
One said: 'Who can't make a poached egg.'
A second wrote: '2.60 for two eggs!'
However, some foodies seemed very keen to try the poached eggs for themselves.

HERE'S how to poach an egg in the microwave, according to the experts at Kitchn.
All you need is an egg, a mug, half a teaspoon of vinegar and a third to a half a cup of water.
Put the water and vinegar in the mug.
Crack the egg into the water – making sure the egg is submerged.
Cover the mug with a small plate or saucer.
Place in the microwave and cook on medium high power for 60 seconds.
Carefully remove the plate and check the egg. If it is not done blast it again for 20 seconds.
Using a slotted spoon, drain the water out of the mug and then place the egg on your plate, and enjoy.
