Poached eggs without a poachy thing?

[cyberfairy]

I am being all healthy and virtuous and fancy a poached egg for my brekkie instead of normal mound of fried stuff with cheese on top. I have not got a poacher but sure I remember hearing that you could poach an egg in one of those big metal scoopy spoons. Is this true?

STOP! In the name of Jebus!


Go here!


Now! Before you do anything else....

Genius

It's all about the clingfilm method No need for swirling vortexes, vinegar smelling pots and pans, mess, anything, and the eggs come out looking gorgeous.

They also look a bit like the goldfish you see at fun fairs before you put them in the water

And you can do a whole family's worth of poached eggs at the same time without them all getting mashed together. Do the positives never end. Is there anything negative about the clingfilming?!?!

I'm far too excited about that

Suddenly I don't want a poached egg anymore Or indeed any food ever.

Elaborate on the fucking clingfilm I don't think I have any. Will a carrier bag do? Fuck it, think I'll have a fried eggOh. looked again at site. I think I would just make a huge mess trying to be so dexterous at this time in the morning after little sleep

 

[Badger Kitten]

see B3TA for instructions about clingfilm.

A carrier bag would work. Or a condom. Anything with a thin waterproof membrane really...

 

[Badger Kitten]

Not a condom. Euwww, spermicide.

 

[subversplat]

You could put lots of eggs in a marigold glove (one in each finger, perhaps) and do them all at the same time.

It might end up looking like an eggy cow's udder, though.

PMSL

That has just seriously made me laugh like a fucker.

Turning rapidly more in favour of a toasted sandwich* or veganness the more I read this.
Do you think a ribbed condom or maybe a flavaoured one to counteract the eggy flavour?


*spends rest of day removing burnt bits of cheese and bread from sandwich toaster*

 

[Badger Kitten]

Maybe a swimming hat or shower cap?

You know, like what you nick out of hotels.

But some carrier bags have holes in which you never notice until yr throwing up in one Maybe glue the holes?
I have sellotape-maybe that could be utilised somehow. The only condom I can find is preloved. Will that impair the flavour?

Egg whites are protien, sperms are protien - it'll be fine.

I might experiment with my flatmates showercap. I will wait till he is about to go in shower and he will unknowingly cook brekkie for me

What if they merge and I get a weird baby in my saucepan?

 

[Wookey]

Wow, I just checked out that page and the clingfilm method looks great! Urban teaches me yet another life skill! Now I know about tea-bagging AND poaching eggs in clingfilm!!

Btw the kitchen windowsill in that photo sequence looks bizarrely just like mine; plant, plastic crap, cafetiere....does everyone have the same shIt on their kitchen windowsill??

Eat it before the cells divide too much.

If you put the egg in the showercap and then he stands under the hot shower wearing the shower cap and egg he can cook the egg on his head for you

Think so and the cafetiere is always coated in a fine layer of dust and missing a bit Whats teabagging? sounds fantastically kinky

That's what I was thinking Mmm. Hairy egg surprise

Your mouth is hot, isn't it? So if you put a raw egg in your mouth and then drink hot tea, you can poach it yourself. Possibly.

AAh, cunning thinking there I could lob it in the engine of the car also but would this be adding to my eco footstep?
