You know how people talk about simple recipes being ‘as easy as boiling an egg’? Why don’t they refer to more difficult tasks as being as hard as poaching an egg? Because as experienced around the kitchen as I am, poaching an egg is one basic skill that I have just never managed to develop.
And the good news is that with my latest gadget discovery, I don’t have to, because the Poach Pod® has come to my rescue and now I am enjoying poached eggs on English muffins with ease. All you have to do is crack an egg into one of these heat-resistant silicone pods and set it afloat in a pot of boiling water, reduce to a simmer and cover. Once the egg is done, you remove the pod and flip it inside out, then a perfectly cooked, dome-shaped egg slides out beautifully. They’re eggs-actly what I needed!
