surfsister - I've had so many poachers, inc. for microwave, that promise but don't deliver - is this one really so good, cos for £1, it's worth a go?
Do you have to grease beforehand, because with the one I've got you have to and it's a pain cleaning after with bits of egg stuck on.
P.S.Have also tried Poachies, which are the paper ones, a bit hit and miss, you have to get the timing exact, especially if you are timing with toast, as they can either turn out too runny or rock hard.

You might like to look at the reviews for other colours/styles of this make before buying - not universally thrilled! e.g. http://www.johnlewis.com/de'longhi-kbo3001ob-icona-kettle-black/p1017066?navAction=jump

Line the individual 'cups' in the poacher with a piece of cling film, overlapping the edges slightly so you can fold it underneath the 'cup'. No sticking, no mess!

But the reviews on the blue and black ones are terrible??

I've got the De'longhi kettle, bought it from Debenhams in the sale 3 years ago at £56. Very tempted to buy this as a spare. Mine is a silver if the reviews are complaining about paint chipping. I think the reviews said it was noisy when I bought it, it is a bit, might be a problem in a bedsit for a minute when it's nearly boiled.

Hi - I line a ramekin with cling film, touch of butter, crack egg in and twist up cling film and the top and lift into boiling water, nothing to wash up.

Wouldn't it be easier just to boil the egg in its shell...? Nothing to wash up that way, either!
