“What’s this? This is a crap picture, it’s just Pasta, Bacon and… oh wait! What’s he done here? How’s he poached that mother like a pro?”
Clingfilm! Our friend Rob at b3ta has come up with the perfect egg poaching technique. He, like me, Googled the matter and found hundreds of results. Ever the public servant, he set about trying them all.
Turns out all you have to do is line a cup with Clingfilm, crack an egg into it, then lift it out, forming an ‘egg-scrotum’ of sorts. Make sure it’s twisted off at the top, then, avoiding further innuendo, drop it in a pan of boiling water and watch that bastard poach. You’ll be able to tell when it’s done, trust me.
Rob’s now number one on Google with ‘how to poach an egg’. I’m a regular visitor to the site, and as brilliant as it is (not for the kids – you have been warned), I wasn’t expecting one of the best cooking tips I ever saw to come from it!
Anyway, there you have it – how to poach an egg. I also made a chocolate cake in a cup today – you can see the video below I think. That sort of pales into insignificance next to the egg trick though…
