Poaching an egg clingfilm

[tinkerbell23]

Fancy trying poaching an egg in clingfilm!!!

If i dont have any will a sandwich bag do? Or will it melt x

[Ankou]

you could try poaching it in hot water and do away with the plastic altogether ....

No it wont melt but not as flexible as cling film so will not work as well. Go for it anyway!!
