more poached eggs

I bought a diddy little mini frying pan that is just right for a 2 egg omlette.
I have also got an egg poaching thing that I sit in a frying pan of water and the eggs cook to perfection without the need for vinegar or boiling vortexes!

I don't think I can take any more poached eggs. I just bang them in water, I do.

The secret to a poached egg is freshness. The longer you keep it the more watery the white becomes. Must admit I am intrigued by the clingfilm method and am going to try it sometime.

Un oeuf is un oeuf on this whole poached egg thingy.

My girls didn't lay today so looks like I'll have to wait for the weekend before I can try it!
