Egg cooker which boils and poaches eggs

dllive

Hi

After 24 years on this planet Ive finally discovered eggs! Ive started eating 2 or 3 each morning which I boil them in a pan.

Is there an easier/cheaper way to cook eggs? Someone told me of a device that can boil and poach eggs. (not sure what the difference is?). Can anyone recommend a device that does this?

Thanks

Lots on google, on example here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Durable-Stainless-Electric-Poacher-Omelette/dp/B01BDN9W06/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?adgrpid=56066461387&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImIKM0LGT4wIVR4jVCh2ejglEEAAYAyAAEgKHl_D_BwE&hvadid=259115184226&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006742&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t3&hvqmt=e&hvrand=16516492365441967181&hvtargid=aud-613328383159%3Akwd-300907623543&hydadcr=18515_1725442&keywords=egg+poacher&qid=1561972683&s=gateway&sr=8-3-spons&psc=1

Boiling normally means cooking them in their shells. Poaching is cooking them after you've taken them out of the shell.

Before buying any special 'device', try a small saucepan (milk pan is about the right size), fill it to a depth of a couple of inches with boiling water and reduce heat so it is just simmering. Add the egg(s) and cook gently for about 3-4 minutes depending on whether you want runny or set yolks.

Ignore all the faff about stirring the water to make a whirlpool effect, adding vinegar etc. If your eggs are fresh (most supermarket eggs are, but check the date) and the water is only simmering gently, all should be well.

2 or 3 each morning? Hope you balance that with your fibre else you'll be back asking for recommendations for constipation relief! 2 or 3 a week would probably be too many unless you combine them with a very heathy diet.
