I am looking for the PERFECT egg poacher. Have tried the rings, they stick, thenbought a frypan with rings attached, they were too small, and egg overflowed.
Have just seen a 3 egg one in the magnamail....
Has anyone tried this, if so is it anygood.
Otherwise, if anyone knows of a good one, let me know.... thanks.

Boil water - stir it round, chuck in the egg, put the toast down, toast pops up, take out egg = perfect poached egg. Fresh eggs key-we have our own chooks :)

Agree for perfect poached eggs all you need isa pot, a little bit of practice and fresh eggs. Water must be moving when you put the eggs in, makes a perfect tear drop egg.
Stevens have a similar one to above and looks like a egg shell cracked in half.not sure of price thou

Pick me!I wil poach your eggs perfectly-the secret in getting no straggly bits and perfectly round is very fresh(preferably free range) eggs and a teaspoon of white vinegar for two in the pot of water.And a pinch of salt.
Who the hell could be fussed with poaching aids????

Agree, thats the perfect way to poach eggs, must have the vinegar

I can cook 'em OK without the vinegar.What is it supposed to do?
I got mine from Seagars and it works brilliantly. But I agree - fresh eggs are essential! Mine is metal. I do it without vinegar - poached eggs to me are just in water - with freshly cracked black pepper on top!

bedazzledjewels, we have an Eggo.Our 8 year old loves it as he can have boiled eggs whenever he wants.Very easy to use.The poached eggs work well too.I learnt to put a little spray in before using. Easier to get out.

Dazz, I thought about it but in the end didn't buy one.The egg cookers I looked at in Germany were so much better made (more serious, of course) that the Eggolooked like a toy.

Yes, that's what puts me off; the gimmicky look. However if it's cheap enough, it might be worth it.

I steam my poached eggs in a pot with steamer attachment with a microwave egg dish I got at k mart....Bring water to boil, place the ramekin or egg dish on top tray (sprayed with cooking spray before putting egg/s in)..set timer for 5 mins (for runny)..come out perfect every time
