You need a coodeler it is a little pot you lut the egv in and then put it all in the water0

To poach mine....I have a small pot/saucepan of water, just on the boil. Break the egg/eggs into a saucer or larger dish if necessary. Give the water a good swirl with a spoon to create a mini whirlpool then gently slip the eggs in the water. The spinning water helps keep the whites reasonably intact. A lot depends on how fresh the eggs are to. The fresher the egg the more the white will stay intact. Enjoy.....0

Use a poaching pan - much easier than the whizz in the water method....0

I don't have much luck so I cheat with an egg poacher (more like steamed egg to be honest) Still very nice

Here's two simple ways - with or without a poaching pan.
(No to microwave ones. Rubbery nasty! :-D )0 -
Right- well that explains why just chucking them into a pan of water hasn't been working tho- thank u!:flowerforyou:0

I do it the delia way. Frying pan with 1 cm or a little deeper simmering water. Break in egg then baste as you would a fried egg.0

I use these cute little non-stick boats that float in the boiling water and I crack eggs into them - I used to poach into swirling boiling water but it was a pain drying the eggs off, and sometimes damp paper towel would stick, etc. I'm a sucker for kitchen gadgets :P
aren't they cute!0 -

That sounds good. Does it need to be a non-stick pan?0 -
No as they shouldn't be a prob. However I tend to use non stick so can't promise!0

I've used my grandmother's poaching set all my life. It has 4 sort of triangular pans held up above boiling water. This is probably 100 years old now......so it is not high tech. I guess it is more like steaming, but it works everytime and you can cook the eggs from near raw to hard throughout. I light the egg whites done and the yolk soft.0

These little green poaching containers are the cutist things I've ever seen. They're such a good idea. Where did you buy them?0
-
i second the floating silicon 'boats' they're really cheap & makes poaching so easy0
-
it is all about the tornado spin! You can also up your chances by throwing a splash of plain white vinegar in the pan too. It helps the proteins seize up and hold together.0

I make mine the simple way. Boil a kettle of water then pour it into a large microwaveable bowl. Crack the eggs in and micro for 2-3 mins.0
