Poached eggs

[Mesterh]

Vinegar in to make it taste nice.

 

3-4 mins(well I time it by my toaster) at most on a non simmer where the bubbles dont break the surface.

 

Or do the Jamie oliver where you bung it all in cling film with some herbs and stuff, it is a very nice alternative.

Blimey such black magic quoted!

 

Fresh eggs is all you need. They hold together. You can't buy fresh eggs in supermarket. Fresh means cooked day after laid.

 

All the mumbo is because eggs aren't fresh.

Pretty much all of the above work. Must be fresh eggs, plucked from under the chuck preferably, bring the water to a simmer not a rapid boil, swirl the water drop the eggs in and turn the heat off. Don't leave em hanging around to continue cooking once you've pulled em out the water either. Had poached eggs from a so called chef once. Hard bleedin boiled they were!

I find the best way to not get caught is to go out under cover of darkness into my neighbour's garden, often better when there's some wind blowing to cover up the noise of the clucking hens as I disturb them, and get them that way.

I've tried all these

The secret as has been revealed is fresh eggs preferably from your own chooks

Oh come on, coming home from the pub and worrying about whether the eggs are fresh or not.

 

Okay, so my method won't deliver quite such an haute-cuisine result, but if you're home from the pub half cut and have the munchies, it might not matter. And it'll work whether the eggs are fresh or not...

 

Take a microwaveable mug

 

Spray in a bit of oil (if you've got one of these oil sprayer thingies), if not pour in a bit of oil and swill it around

 

Crack the egg into the mug

 

Microwave for about a minute (more or less time depending on power of the microwave)
