You might try microwaving them. This is best with each egg in a
small covered microwave-safe container. Poke a fork into the yolk
to avoid detonation, experiment beforehand with your microwave to
determine power and time to get your desired degree of runniness.

Not really poached, but fast and easy in large numbers...
