Silicon Poacher

[mallyh]

just tried some silicon egg poachers .....disaster ,anyone else used them ?

[mallyh]

thankyou both i'll try a shallower pan x

Lining a ramekin with cling before cracking the egg in and then twisting to seal the cling is another way of poaching.

[mallyh]

thankyou ,not tried that way x

[ummmm]

The clingfilm method has way better results than the pods, imo

Still think water is the best way though :-)

I have some and they are not that good. I do make pretty perfect poached eggs just with a pan and boiling water though so it's no big deal.

i always just broke them into water but i was trying to be a little posher lol

Mallyh - still reckon the old metal poachers are best. M & S about £13 but loads of other stores do them. Can't do links but just google egg poachers

[ummmm]

They look prettier in a poacher...that's about it.

Honestly...they are great for baking.

[mallyh]

couldn't get on with metal poachers i'll persevere with the silicon (it's the only silicon i'll ever get lol)

I now want poached eggs on nutty brown toast slathered with salty butter so hot it dribbles down my chin.....

[mallyh]

enjoy shoota x

Tried once. Says it all really....

[Postdog]

Just to add, the swirly water way isn't that hard really

[mallyh]

i'll keep trying and if i have to many disasters i'll revert to just putting them in swirly water .x

The cling film method is very successful, I used to do them like that. The solicone thingies are pretty good though, once you've got the hang of them, saves a bit of faff fighting with the cling film...
