Good egg guide

An educational and mildly amusing guide to poaching an egg.  What more can you ask?

Cling film is best, apparently.

Excellent find - was just in the process of working out how to do my favorite: poached egg on a slice of Vegemite toast! Don't laugh, it's delicious! Great for hangovers (curing not creating!)

But without a maid and any optimal poaching devices, disaster would surely have followed... until this great find!

All I have ever used for the past 500 years is any old pot, water boiled at max heat, a dash of vinegar and then a really fat egg cracked straight in: two mins later, happiness, no probs.

Excellent, thank you.

I read somewhere that cling film's direct contact with food should be minimised for health reasons. I therefore suggest using a condom instead. I believe that locally made condoms would be ideal for poaching quails' eggs.

fumier ....... oh yes now I remember, years ago a friends mother kept telling us not to wrap cheese in cling film as 'bad' chemicals would leech into the cheese.
