The fresh white doesn't drain off.

Crack a fresh egg into a small bowl.
Boil a kettle of water.
Pour water into a large saucepan.
Gently pour egg into saucepan.
Wait 3 minutes.
Fish out egg with slotted spoon.
Eat.

No vinegar. No cooking on the hob. No swirling... just poaching in hot water.

BTW, I've never had any luck with microwave speciality cooking gizmos. My patented porridge cooker went off like a small thermonuclear device before being consigned to the trash bin after one outing.

Have you thought about stealing someone else's poached eggs: Poached poached eggs.

I got nothing else, I mean it's a thread about eggs and poaching them. How much can you say.

That's the forum equivalent of "how much worse can it get?"

Oh much worse. If we leave it to Rich. There are things so bottled up, you don't want them to ever come out.

Does anybody else's mother call an egg poached in water a 'coddled' egg?

I'd think a coddled egg would be one made in an egg coddler , but Wikipedia assures me it means lightly cooked, and poached eggs can qualify.

There are no short cuts - just shell out for the proper kit

I think it was some sort of yoke. He scrambled around to post a bad pun. It was not a cracking joke but omletting it go.

 

[Markymark]

Oh, apologies.Did I ruin it?

I'll get ova it.

 

[Poacher]

Earlier this evening I, er, poached a couple of eggs apiece for me and Mrs Poacher to enjoy on toasted home made bread.
Individual plastic bowls were wiped with butter, an egg cracked into each, loaded into their tray and lowered into a pan of boiling water almost up to the level of the top of the bowls. Lid on the pan, simmer for five minutes or so, job's a good 'un. Maybe not classically poached, but damn tasty and no faffing around - well, not much, anyway. I haven't washed up yet, so here's a pic of the dirty apparatus:

Perfectly round eggs belong in McDonald's only.

This is a poached egg...

Ah, but is it? Were you out at midnight with a lamp and a Lurcher to get the egg in the first place?

I was going to go further and combine a second comment, but chickened out
