How do you like your eggs?

[Citizen of Legoland]

It's all in the quality of the eggs not in the technique.
Buy the freshest eggs you can get hold off, direct from a poultry farm / farm shop are best. The ones from supermarkets have been sitting around for weeks and the molecular structure has deteriorated to a point where poaching is difficult, if not impossible.

Not noticed that myself. The only tricks I use are vinegar in the water and stir the water with a spoon to create a whirlpool so when the eggs are put in the white doesn’t spread out too much. Plus drain properly otherwise the toast goes soggy with water.

Line a small cup/ramekin with clingfilm, grease with small amount of oil, crack the egg into it, lift the clingfilm in four corners & tie together, lower into the pan & cook, works every time, no mess no watery eggs

Haha….first time for everything, I think it’s my inner Delia coming out, I only have what you’d call ramekins because I went through a stage of buying those melting cheese pots that you just whack in the oven & dip crusty bread in, I’ve got about 50 (similar to tapas dishes)

So called because after you had finished eating it flicking it off your uniform looked like you were playing a banjo.

Many an egg banjo on exercise if you asked the cooks nice when you were on stag.

I had to google it and realised we had one once. We just called them little pots, never knew they had a name. Lol!

Does it work ? Perfect eggs I mean ?

Oh yes.

 

[pride in battle]

Oh yes.

So crack the egg, cover with beans then microwave?
