I just made poached eggs like this, and it turned out perfectly! I have only ever made poached eggs using a poacher, so this way a first time for me. It was so easy and quick, I shall definitely be cooking my eggs like this from now on, seeing as I don’t have the poacher anymore.
Thank you so much for sharing the instructions, you are a breakfast saver!

Thanks so much. My first try, and my poached eggs were perfect. The whites held together nicely, while the yellow yolks oozed out when cut. Ah, sure made my day!

Happy Weekend, Evelyn

this worked brilliantly! add a dash of tabasco, and cracked pepper and you mask any plastic taste nicely.
