I just wanted to share the following info on some Poach Pods that I have bought recently from Lakeland. I was a bit sceptical as to how successful they would be but they make the best (and easiest) poached eggs ever. Even with the freshest eggs when you break them into the water they spread out a bit and are difficult to time to perfection. Adding more than one to the pan is tricky too, then getting them out of the pan without too much water and not breaking the yolk (as I like mine runny) has always a problem for me too.

 

Well, I now use one (or sometimes two!) pods to make my poached eggs, I just spread a little butter or oil using a corner of kitchen towel into the pod. Crack the egg in and place it in a small pan (with a lid) of simmering water. I time it for 4 minutes. I then use the handle of a teaspoon to ease the edge of the white away from the pod and pop it onto my hot buttered toast - YUM . They are easy to drain of any water that may have found its way into the pod before releasing it too, and of course to check if cooked to perfection too by just lifting one out.

 

Just thought I'd share the experience as I love them available from here (and other places I'm sure). I've bought countless kitchen gadgets that I never use but this is one that I have used and used and used!

They look interesting, Do the eggs taste the same, I am asking this because I think the vinegar in the water makes them taste so good and if the water isn't around the eggs surely they must taste different.

I think they taste lovely but I don't like my eggs to taste of vinegar, I suppose its all down to personal choice. As a bit of water does get into the pod (from the pan lid dripping as the water simmers) you could of course add the vinegar in as per usual.

Technically, what you have there is a coddled egg rather than a poached one, but none the worse for that!
