    Those green cups are awesome! I'll have to get some, too!

    I was always taught to add a dash of vinegar to keep the whites from running all over the place. I use white wine vinegar so it does not add a "vinegar-y" taste. Works for me!

    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. :)

    I do this and it's dead easy! I put 2 inches in instead of 1 but it has the same effect!

    These little green poaching containers are the cutist things I've ever seen. They're such a good idea. Where did you buy them?

    Can I just thank whoever suggested these!

    I bought them from Amazon and they arrived today- absolutely perfect poached eggs , amazing!

    I have just gone and ordered two more so I can poach a load at once :flowerforyou:

    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.....


    do this. you need a small spoon to get a little whirlpool going. btw, i say small spoon, because if the water is too hot to get close to witha small spoon, its too hot for poaching, imo.

    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
