I have one of those and I poach an egg for my son every morning. They work great, but over time the latch wears or warps and it can pop open and blow egg shreds all over the inside of the microwave.
Until I can remember where I got it and replace it, I have been using a rubber band to keep it shut.
The soft silicone cups that you float in boiling water produce a prettier and more consistent egg, but take 10 minutes instead of 1.

“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48
