The perfect poached egg

[churchhawk]

Have to agree with the above, i was very skeptical at first but after trying the cling film method a year ago Ive been doing my eggs that way since. They come out lovely and taste great

best method i've read about used some cling film, make a ball type shape with the cling film, crack the egg into it, boiling water, drop the egg wrapped in cling film in, allow to cook for 4-5 minutes, voila

Will give this method a try.I normally just simmer some water add the egg, add viniger and cook for a couple of mins until done.

Kinda defeats the object though doesn't it? You may as well boil it in the shell if you're gonna use cling film.

Is there really any difference in taste/texture? I find it hard to believe.

Non stick frying pan shallow water level, beauty is the egg won't stick to the base. Once the egg is cracked in then cover with a large saucepan lid. Oh and I add malt vinegar as well
