Well R - I have never quite mastered that poaching method I am afraid, BUT the steam-fried one I CAN do and it works out the same.

Dea Xxx

Swirl the water round with a splash of vinegar/salt and slide them in ;-)

Done that and it works just fine BUT the steam fry method is MUCH easier !!

Dea Xxx

No caus thats some kinda hybrid....not fried and not poached.....a freak of an egg :-0

That is not a freak egg Ginns !!! It is a poached egg for my 'non-cooking' husband to cook !!"!!!

It tastes just as good !!!

Dea xxx

Try it Ginns:

A little butter in the pan - brought up to sizzling !

Break the egg carefully into it and then add 1-2 tablespoons of hot water

Put a lid on the pan and turn the heat down to low.

1 1/2 - 2 minutes - depending how you like them !!

Enjoy !...............

Regarding addresses, BMD. burials, passenger lists etc ... ours might not be ideal but at least it all is free.

I don't like vinegar in the water of my poached egg.. I can taste the vinegar.. I always ask when we are out and invariably end up with scrambled. I have an egg poacher where they sit in their little cups with a bit of melted butter over the steaming hot water. Or in the microwave...grease a little bowl, break egg into it and then prick yolk with a toothpick and swirl the white around a bit with a tooth pick and cook it for 20 secs and then add 10secs or whatever until you have it like you want it. You have to prick it though or else it pops and splatters and ends up on the walls of the microwave..

Cyns you could separate a couple of eggs and just do the yolks and then make meringue with the whites. When I make meringue I use the yolks in custard or rice pudding. Very economical I is.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RENES
xxx <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I have had to have a coffee and a lie down Renes these birthday celebrations seem to get tougher as you get older.

Hope you have a lovely day..

1.22pm here 11.22am in Sydney and Melbourne...

easy in the microwave.......

a small dish with a bit of water (enough to just cover an egg) but don't put the egg in yet! I use small ramekin-type dishes (the same ones I use for creme caramel). I don't use vinegar.

put dish of water in microwave for about 20/30 seconds, carefully break the egg into the water....... then on MEDIUM for 20 seconds, then may two more 5 second until the egg is the way you like. No need for butter or breaking the yolk or covering the dish. Take the egg out of the water with a slotted spoon.

I've done poached eggs like this since I got my first microwave (about 30 years ago), haven't had a burst yolk yet.

I do have a "proper" 4-egg poacher, but it sits in the cupboard. Handy for when I need a small frypan with a lid :-D
