20 Poachies Egg-Poaching Bags

Product Information

Poachies are made from a paper-like fabric material, are food safe and can be recycled or composted after use. Its second section contains the egg white whilst allowing water to flow evenly around the whole egg as it cooks. While they don’t produce that classic poached egg shape, we managed to get a firm white with a jammy yolk with relative ease. Egg poaching pans: Most poaching pans can be used on a variety of hobs (including induction) and allow simultaneous poaching of between two and four eggs.

As long as the water was heated properly beforehand, the egg began to set instantly, with little to no white leakage out of the holes in the sides. Not only does it poach eggs, two at a time, but it can also boil them and help whip up a delicious omelette in minutes. If that’s not a total deal-breaker, though, this produces two perfectly jammy eggs and also works as an egg boiler and omelette maker.These plastic and metal egg cups hook onto the side of your saucepan and gently simmer away for hands-free egg cooking. We found that most of the time, these gadgets produced a jammy joke with a solid white or a runny yolk with a creamy white. In theory, when cooked, the egg slides out of the pouch, but for both a perfectly cooked and overcooked egg, we had to peel the paper off by hand.

These nifty poaching bags self-seal when submersed in bubbling hot water, allowing the the egg to cook perfectly without leakage. Storage space: Do you have a large kitchen with plenty of storage space, or is your bijou kitchen a little more limited? Are you serving up eggs for one as a quick and healthy snack, or do you want to cook several eggs all at the same time? It can take a bit of experimenting with water levels, depending on how soft you like your yolk, but once you find the perfect level, you’ll find yourself singing ‘Chick Chick Chicken’ and craving another one for your tea.

A high-speed option for those a little limited on time, but not necessarily the best result for those who are picky about their yolk consistency. I have had these for years, great results but only recently realised that you don't need to loosen them with a knife, then lift them out with a spoon… You just turn them upside down and pop them out, they sit like little domes on your toast! With a three-year guarantee, it’s also a hardwearing and high-quality product that can be used for many years to come. Thanks to the small holes across the base, you’ll find good airflow around your egg, which ensures it cooks evenly throughout. For the convenience of cooking four eggs at a time and the benefit of getting a multi-use sauté pan, this is a great poacher for families.

The non-stick egg cups are relatively easy to clean, as long as you remember to grease them ahead of use, whilst the cool-touch knobs make it quick and easy to lift your eggs out of the water once they’re ready to enjoy.Just know that it can take a bit of experimenting with timings, as getting the perfect yolk will all depend on the egg size and the power settings on your microwave. The cups are easy to remove from the water, so you can flip your egg if need be, and also cleaned up well after cooking. A few also found that the egg cup handles get quite hot, so you will need to be careful when removing them. When cooked, the texture was slightly unusual but the results were fantastic, with a perfectly runny yolk and firm white.
