Laura & CTB Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I like that idea - I still cant get poached eggs to come out right - always looks like something alien when I do it What kind of oil do you use though?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I thought that these looked great until OH tried poaching really fresh eggs in a pan of water without using anything else. They are gorgeous and the white sticks together around the yolk because they are so fresh Mmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitchHazel Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Why would you need one, if youa re using your own ultra fresh eggs? Pods are only needed when the egg is a bit older, as the "Ooops, word censored!"e spreads out all over the palce when the eggs are more than a few days old. With really fresh eggs you can just crack them into fast simmering water - the white will wrap itself around the yolk in a neat little package.

jomaxsmith Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I've been getting fab results with Delia's How to Cook technique - break fresh eggs into a pan with about 5cm water in that is just starting to boil, leave on the heat for exactly 1 min, then turn off heat (take pan off heat if the ring keeps its heat) and leave for 10 minutes. Works really well. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I do with whirlpool thing and it usually works fine but the pods look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Well i love poached eggs and seeing i haven't got any of my own eggs yet i thought i'd give these a go, i also bought the egg timer thingy to boil an egg coz i'm rubbish at soft boiled eggs!

jomaxsmith Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 also bought the egg timer thingy to boil an egg coz i'm rubbish at soft boiled eggs! Now that is a fab gadget - beats the Delia method for me every time. I was only thinking the other day as I got it out of the drawer how bereft I would be if I lost it, then promptly dropped it on the slate floor where it broke into 2 pieces No more reliably goggy eggs for us until I can get hold of a new one!

You'll have to teach me then Hazel- I just end up with a round ball of yolk attached to a white stringy thing I keep trying but just cant get it (cooking-numpty that I am).

Blackrocksrock Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I use the microwave on stand time to time my eggs - its easy - 4 minutes and its done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I use this Delia method water just deep enough to cover an egg, barely simmering only tiny bubbles rising crack egg in check water is covering the top then leave to poach gently for a few minutes you can tell if they are cooked by lifting them gently with a spoon. You can poach multiple eggs in the same shallow pan - I use a frying pan My son has a poached egg for breakfast every day it's so easy this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
