Poach pods for perfect poached eggs
By Tina Lehman on
Poach Pods are small cups made of silicon.You simply crack an egg into one and float it atop boiling water and voila, within minutes you have a poached egg.
My husband loves poached eggs and they really make a mess.I've tried other gadgets, and was really pleased to finally find something that worked well without the mess.When you are finished poaching, the inside of your pot has no egg white in it, although it is important to lightly spray the inside of your pods with a nonstick spray because they do tend to stick a bit to the pod otherwise.
The Poach Pods are easy to clean (especially when you spray them first) and easy to store.You can also use them for making other things like custards, but I've never tried this.
My only complaint about the Poach Pods is that they are hard to remove from the boiling water without burning yourself.Depending on whether you add the egg to the Poach Pod before or after you put it in the water it takes a bit of practice to either A) put the egg-filled poach pod into the pot of water or B) crack the egg into the already floating poach pod.They are also a little pricey- but if you like poached eggs you will not be sorry!
What a cool Idea. I am forever soaking and scrubing to get the white off the pot.
What a neat idea...they are really pushing pods for stuff - coffee pods and now poach pods, lol.
This new silicone cookware is great! I'm going to look for these next time I'm near a kitchen shop.
I absolutely love poached eggs (with a bit of garlic!) but have not made them in forever... You are right that they make a horrible mess... I like the look of your little pods and will have to be on the lookout for them!
I'm afraid of using synethics coupled with high heats. My trick is to add a drop of vinegar to the simmering water, and to spray the pan before using. This gives me perfectly poaced eggs and no mess.
Could you use a ladle to get them out? Just a suggestion, I love eggs benedict but hate the mess of poached eggs, will definitely look for these. Thanks
I have not had poached eggs in years since my grandmother made them I have been trying to get something to make them I will have to get these thanks!
