Less messy way to poach an egg (less cleanup)

[The Rugged Dude]

I was also thinking "WTF is locally sourced organic plastic wrap?" Would that be plastic wrap made with pure crude oil from your neighborhood oil well?

I can't wait until they make "organic, free-range, local, artisan, gluten free and zero trans fat" plastic wrap.

Now, THAT would be something!!

My new over the stove microwave says it 1,000W
45 seconds is good for one egg, and 75 seconds for two.

I haven't had a microwave oven since the year 1689... but, I think you already knew that!

I use silicone poach pods

 

[Kayelle]

Those look like a good idea MsM. Silicone makes sense. Years ago I had the old fashioned poaching pan with cups that the chief likes but that thing ended up in my donation pile.
If I want an egg cooked in butter I'll fry the little darlin's .

Same here.

It worked fine, I just couldn't justify the storage space for a single function pan. I switched to poaching in a small pan of barely simmering water and a splash of vinegar.

I also had a small one with a single egg insert, it too went into the missionary barrel.

 

[Chief Longwind Of The North]

Ah but the one with the inserts was what introduced me to poached eggs at Grandpa's house, so it has sentimental value. Also, you can make steamed, individual puddings in those little inserts, or custards, or brule', or little cups of cheesey goodness to pour over the poached eggs. It is not a one-purpose pan in my house.

You're a treasure Chief, but that silly old multi part design for poaching eggs belongs in a museum of bad cooking inventions.

That is the best reason to use it and cherish it, I have a few items like that in my kitchen and they mean the world to me.

You've got to be careful not to get caught poaching eggs. Robin Hood got a death sentence, in absentia, for poaching the King's deer.

Bwahahahahahahahaha Yeh I thought about saying it, but didn't. I'm glad you did. Remember though, if you get caught poaching pears, in a simple syrup, you can oft times get away with it if you share it with the sheriff, topped with chocolate sauce, of course.

One more idea to the mix, multiple eggs at one time.

That's cool. I think I'd lightly oil the muffin cups so the eggs will come out easier.

 

[Kayelle]

Yep, that's brilliant! I think I'd just spray the whole pan with Pam. I wonder it you could put a rimmed sheet pan on top, and flip to remove them all at once?

...I wonder it you could put a rimmed sheet pan on top, and flip to remove them all at once?

Then you'd have to deal with the water in each cup.

Yeah. If you look close some of the white of the egg he removed did stick to the pan.

 

[GA Home Cook]

I have a non stick muffin pan. That along with the Pam mentioned should do the trick.

I have never trusted the "non stick" pans.
