Egg Poacher

[EEZABLADE32]

Hi, does anyone know of a brand of egg poacher that has metal, rather than plastic, cups.

Why on earth would you want metal cups?

[ummmm]

No...

Try these...

I do mine in cling film

Plastic ones are useless.They don't conduct the heat like metal ones.I use the one I got from my old gran and don't know what I will do if it evere goes missing

[craft1948]

My plastic ones are great.........perfect eggs every time.

Try Poachies - saw a demo at the Dartington Food Fair - really impressed - no stirring, no oil in water, no mess to clean up afterwards!

Thanks for that Muffin.Just had a look and bought some from Amazon.Once again introduced to something on AB that I didn't know existed

[ummmm]

Katie...no, they don't stick. You can use them to bake things as well.

[ummmm]

Oh...and the ones I have came with a recipe book.

Morrison....I think, £3.99.

They are not poached if you use a cup or anything else to put the eggs in to. They are steamed.

Surely poached eggs are cooked in water. Eggs cooked in a container placed in boiling water are 'coddled eggs'

Thx all for the interesting answers. Think I'll stick to boiled and scrambled.

Why use anything?

Absolutely! Fusionbrands makes PoachPod Stainless, as well as silicone ones. I have both and love them. They are available at Lakeland's

Those eggs aren't poached, though

[ummmm]

For some reason people can't poach eggs. I actually prefer them poached in water and they came out sound everytime.

The pods are good for baking things.

I poach mine in a frying pan of water, with a lid on.

I poach mine at night from the local chicken farm :)
