20 Poachies Egg-Poaching Bags

Product Information

Overall, these poachers were simple to use and didn’t require much prep work. As long as the water was heated properly beforehand, the egg began to set instantly, with little to no white leakage out of the holes in the sides. The cups are easy to remove from the water, so you can flip your egg if need be, and also cleaned up well after cooking. The only downside is the size. Each cup is huge, so you’ll only be able to cook two eggs at a time and will need a large wok-style pan to do so. You need one of these - water in the bottom, egg in each section.” (Brand recommended by Mumsnet user PattyMelt) Our verdict Grab a sandwich bag and put into the bottom a small bit of olive oil, close the bag and rub with your fingers to smother the oil around the bottom of the bag – this is to make it easier to remove the egg later. Alternatively, give it a spray or two of 1kal frylight. IMMEDIATELY LIFT THE POACHIE® OUT OF THE GLASS, PULLING THE TOP TOGETHER AND LOWER GENTLY INTO THE BUBBLING WATER. They’re super easy to use with no need for butter or oil, making it a healthy option, too. If you’re whipping up breakfast for the whole family, you can also pop multiple Poachies all in one pan.

In testing, we tried each poacher several times to see whether cooking at different heats or for different times altered the results. We found that most of the time, these gadgets produced a jammy joke with a solid white or a runny yolk with a creamy white. Again, the main exception to this was the poaching bag method. Anything else I should keep in mind? The OXO Good Grips Egg Poacher is an excellent all-rounder. It’s a good price, doesn’t take up too much space, and its smart design will prove popular with traditionalists who want to know if their egg has been poached rather than steamed. How we chose our recommendations You can also select a convenient day to receive your delivery by choosing a named day delivery (delivery on working days only).Poach in gently: bubbling water for 4 to 6 minutes depending on firmness required (some foam in the water is normal). Remove each Wiltshire Poachie with tongs or a slotted spoon. Place on kitchen paper to drain and cool. Grip the Wiltshire Poachie by the bottom seam, and share firmly but gently. Your perfectly poached egg will slide out easily. If the egg does not slide out easily, it is not quite ready. Re-immerse for 20-30 seconds. Cups/dishes – Poaching cups or dishes are available in a variety of styles but are typically half spheres that cradle the egg. They can float on top of the water or hook onto the side of the pan and cook in a firm semi-circle shape. Electric egg poachers: If you can’t get enough of your eggs and are planning to eat them regularly, an electric egg poacher can certainly take the hard work out of poaching, with the ability to also boil eggs, too. They do require fairly significant storage space, so they’re less suited to those who have eggs once in a blue moon or people struggling for cupboard space alongside their baking trays and cake tins. Keen to up your brunch game? Or fancy adding a tasty topping to a bowl of noodles? A poached egg is a versatile addition to mealtimes. What’s more, eggs are an affordable way of adding vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper to your family’s diet, so, although a beautifully poached egg can feel indulgent, it’s actually incredibly healthy. So whether you’re fighting with wobbly, stringy egg whites or don’t have the right tools for the job, our roundup of tried and tested egg poachers will solve your breakfast woes for good.

With an innovative hourglass design, they gently cradle the egg as you lower it into the pan, whilst the funnel guides it through into the simmering water without needing to swirl or risk breaking the yolk. Pods/cups: With the egg fully supported whilst sitting in the cup, the entire pod or cup is lowered into the simmering water before being carefully lifted out once the eggs are ready. Generally easy to use, the pods and cups can generally be used with more than one in a pan and are convenient to store, but less efficient for poaching more than two or three at a time. Whilst single-use only, these pouches are biodegradable and recyclable. However, the fact they’re disposable means they’re not the most cost-effective option for more regular use. This sturdy stainless steel tool also doubles up as a handy sauté pan, working well on both induction and gas hobs. Relatively deep when compared to traditional pans, there’s less risk of the water running dry during cooking.
