Did you know that you can poach eggs in the microwave? When we first posted that tutorial, many readers were overjoyed at the thought of egg-and-rice for lunch at the office. But then the question arises naturally: How do you get raw eggs to the office without breaking them? Here's one solution, from camping gear manufacturer Coghlan's.
Want to take just one or two eggs to the office? This little plastic carrier holds 2 eggs in a snug, uncrushable plastic grip.

Coghlan's also makes larger holders for camping, which can hold a dozen or more. This petite egg holder is handy, though, for an urban lunchbox. Who wants crushed eggs in the bottom of their work tote? No thanks!

Eggs are extremely smelly. As a courtesy to your colleagues, I would not suggest poaching eggs in the office microwave unless the kitchen has a door that can be closed. Today I suffered for nearly an hour from someone's stinky fish.
You can also transport eggs by cutting up an old egg carton to make two-egg sections. Works like a charm.
if you're going to poach the egg anyways, then just crack it into a tupperware and transport without the shell. That way you don't have to worry about the egg breaking in an inconvenient place.
@shady lane, eggs aren't that smelly, and once you eat them the smell dissipates. I'd say they're a different ballpark than "stinky fish," which I agree is inconsiderate. It's much stronger and lingers longer.
