I love mine. Love it.

That's what I wanted to hear Galaxy - great!

What make have you got?

It's a salter. It never fails to do good poached eggs, I use it for boiled eggs too. I sound a bit lazy here

I tried for years and failed miserably. I asked people for tips and now make perfect poached eggs in a deep frying pan. Use very fresh eggs and crack each egg into a shallow bowl and gently lower into boiling water. Cook for 3 minutes and remove with a slotted spoon onto paper towel to dry then gently transfer to plate. Perfect every time 😘

Had a Lakeland one for years, until it fell to bits. Just have a cheap Lidl one now £6.99. The Lakeland one I used to burn my fingers taking the lid off. Lidle one has a plastic knob that doesn’t get hot, plus a carry handle inside to transfer the eggs into a bowl of water. Oh I can do an omelette in the lidle one but have never tried that option.
Well worth the money

KGee that's exactly how I poach eggs and they're always perfect.

I use Poachies, buy them cheaply by the 100 from Ebay. Always give perfect results. They are bags into which you break the egg then immerse in boiling water which seals the bag. If you always buy the same size eggs the timing is the same each time.

The secret is fresh eggs. Simply slide them into a shallow pan of simmering water and cook to taste. If the eggs aren’t fresh you will get better results with something that keeps the whites from spreading, like a poacher. I’ve never had any success with them - even ones with non-stick cups.

I make my poached eggs in silicon cups but I use a sauté pan. They cook perfectly because it has a glass lid and I can see what is happening.

I have tried all of the other methods and this works every time.

I just “fry” mine in shallow, salty water.

My little plastic ones in the shape of a broken egg shell are perfect. They just float on simmering water. I too use a transparent saucepan lid so that I can see when the egg is cooked.

I do mine in my microwave. I bought an egg poacher from Lakeland .. 30 sec for a large egg! No fuss!

I used to have some poachies,no idea what happened to them,i only know i had'nt used them all...🤔
