20 Poachies Egg-Poaching Bags

Product Information

Overall, these poachers were simple to use and didn’t require much prep work. As long as the water was heated properly beforehand, the egg began to set instantly, with little to no white leakage out of the holes in the sides. The cups are easy to remove from the water, so you can flip your egg if need be, and also cleaned up well after cooking. The only downside is the size. Each cup is huge, so you’ll only be able to cook two eggs at a time and will need a large wok-style pan to do so. Thanks to the small holes across the base, you’ll find good airflow around your egg, which ensures it cooks evenly throughout. Once it’s ready, the handy tab on the top makes it really easy to remove without burning your fingers in the process.

If you’re looking for the ideal combination of convenience and low cost, Mumsnet users couldn’t speak more highly of Poachies as a budget-friendly egg-poaching tool for occasional use. These nifty poaching bags self-seal when submersed in bubbling hot water, allowing the the egg to cook perfectly without leakage. So whether you’re fighting with wobbly, stringy egg whites or don’t have the right tools for the job, our roundup of tried and tested egg poachers will solve your breakfast woes for good. Electric egg poachers: If you can’t get enough of your eggs and are planning to eat them regularly, an electric egg poacher can certainly take the hard work out of poaching, with the ability to also boil eggs, too. They do require fairly significant storage space, so they’re less suited to those who have eggs once in a blue moon or people struggling for cupboard space alongside their baking trays and cake tins.

Will you only be making them on special occasions or the odd anniversary breakfast in bed, or are you hoping to integrate some healthy egg options into your daily routine? For more frequent use, options such as poaching pans may be the best choice, whereas disposable poaching bags and pods are perfectly adequate for an occasional poaching aid.

Grab a sandwich bag and put into the bottom a small bit of olive oil, close the bag and rub with your fingers to smother the oil around the bottom of the bag – this is to make it easier to remove the egg later. Alternatively, give it a spray or two of 1kal frylight.Poach in gently: bubbling water for 4 to 6 minutes depending on firmness required (some foam in the water is normal). Remove each Wiltshire Poachie with tongs or a slotted spoon. Place on kitchen paper to drain and cool. Grip the Wiltshire Poachie by the bottom seam, and share firmly but gently. Your perfectly poached egg will slide out easily. If the egg does not slide out easily, it is not quite ready. Re-immerse for 20-30 seconds.

Immediately grip both flaps together, lift out of the glass, and immerse vertically into the gently bubbling water without delay. Disposable bags: Whilst they are recyclable and relatively cheap to buy, one single-use bag is required per egg, which makes them less cost-effective if you’re eating poached eggs on a more regular basis. GRIP THE POACHIE® BY THE BOTTOM SEAM, SHAKE FIRMLY BUT GENTLY. YOUR PERFECTLY POACHED EGG WILL SLIDE OUT EASILY. Don’t let anyone tell you they are a useless gadget - they are fabulous.” (Type of method recommended by CarolBornAMan) Our verdictBecause we know that there’s nothing like a real recommendation, we first headed to the Mumsnet forums to find out what egg poachers our users had tried, tested and rated after extensive use. IMMEDIATELY LIFT THE POACHIE® OUT OF THE GLASS, PULLING THE TOP TOGETHER AND LOWER GENTLY INTO THE BUBBLING WATER. This sturdy stainless steel tool also doubles up as a handy sauté pan, working well on both induction and gas hobs. Relatively deep when compared to traditional pans, there’s less risk of the water running dry during cooking. This plug-in egg cooker requires no additional pans or even a hob. The poaching tray can cook two eggs at a time: simply oil it, drop in your eggs and hit the power button. The machine automatically turns off after the allotted cooking time and you’re left with two firm poached eggs you can spoon out with ease. I have had these for years, great results but only recently realised that you don't need to loosen them with a knife, then lift them out with a spoon… You just turn them upside down and pop them out, they sit like little domes on your toast!” (Recommended by Mumsnet user ItsnotaHenryMoore) Our verdict
