Poached Eggs

[Alex]

Have you got a gadget for poaching eggs ?    I've got a poacher pan but the non stick cups are shot, I've replaced them once but even coating them with olive oil doesnt always work..  This morning I put two in a pan of boiling water, what a mess that left !

I've had several egg boilers over the years and one had poaching bowls but the current ne doesnt so I don't poach eggs. Not that I did when I had the one with poaching bowls. Too much faff for me.

I've never tried this method. I hear you are supposed to stir the water to create a vortex.

If you can bear American

OH uses the vortex method. They usually turn out fine.

Thanks for clip Ashy, I'll try using the shallow poacher pan without the cups and will give it a swirl

I put water in frying pan.. bring it to the boil.. turn it down to just simmering.. put in egg.. after a few minutes .. sorted.. I remove it with a flat slice.. the one with holes in..
