Poached eggs....

[Dukat]

I suspect that since some makes/types of cling film aren't microwave proof they must have heat issues so sticking them in boiling water isn't a good idea.

Its crazy man logic if you ask me!

Microwaves should only be used for the following 3 things.

Heating frozen Veg
Heating Baked Beans
Reheating coffee thats gone cold.

Anything else is criminal and get ruined.

Why would you reheat coffee ? Its nice cold as long as you didnt ruin it with milk.

QFT.

'cooking' with a microwave is blasphemy.

Clearly false.

Swirl the boiling water to make a "whirlpool" to drop the egg in.

Also, add some vinegar to the water. Both help keep things together.

Did you read the link at all???

 

[inactionman]

I dunno, I find it a lot easier to steam stuff, particularly potatoes, in a microwave.

 

[dysfunction]

Totally agree with this.

Technology taught you a lesson today young Kenneth.

Exactly!

Doesn't anybody use the egg poacher things anymore? These things:

Personally I'm up for the water in the frying pan with a little vinegar method. You get eggcellent results.

Wow, what a fantastic first post.

My Mum used to use one of those, I always found they gave slightly rubbery results on the egg white relative to the other methods mentioned.

 

[dysfunction]

The best is the "whirlpool" method in near to boiling water...although this is quite tricky.

I prefer scrambled eggs or fried eggs. I find poached eggs a bit bland tasting...

 

[Uara]

salt makes all egg taste better.

 

[old.Tohtori]

English eat boiled eggs?

You know, whole egg, shell and all, into water, cook until done?

What exactly is a poached egg? Kinda like, dropping the innards in water?

Also loads of black pepper.

Vinegar ruins the taste of the egg. Especially if you're using something other than the bog-standard battery-farm salmonella specials...

Nah. Salt makes all eggs tasty salty.

Unless you're a smoker of course - and then salt gives flavour to your broken tongue

 

[Uara]

Not a smoker, but I do like salt on my eggs! But then I'm a fan of salt, has to be one of my favourite seasoning tools. I dont care what the nutritionist say about the negative aspects of it.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Oh oh and...have you tried smoked eggs?

Honestly!

Just like you smoke a fish, you can smoke boiled eggs

 

[dysfunction]

Then I get the taste of salt with a bland egg...

My favourite is cooking a fried egg in the same pan as I have just cooked bacon in...now thats very yummy!!

You know what? I might just have some poached eggs for my tea.

We eat eggs all ways. Yes paoched eggs is cracking the egg into boiling/simmering water. You get a soft boiled egg without the shell. Its lush.

 

[Ch3tan]

[taB]

[Embattle]
