poachpods
Thursday, March 27, 2008Labels: in the kitchen
I'm not a big fan of kitchen tools that are unitaskers, that do only one thing. You could end up with ten different gadgets sitting on your counter for something you do only once a month. That said, I knew that I had to get the Poachpod.
I never was a big fan of eggs until my dad introduced me to the poached egg. For years I've been trying to master the technique of poaching an egg. Although my dad has a system and it usually works, you don't always get a consistent result. I've tried everything to get the egg to stay together. Cracking it right into the water, cracking the egg onto a saucer first and slowly lowering that in... Sometimes things worked, sometimes not so much...
I was so anxious to try the poachpod and it worked wonderfully! The best poached eggs I've ever made, every time. (Even my dad would have to be impressed by those.)

My sister taught me that you can poach an egg in the microwave if you crack it into a mug, add a tiny bit of water and poke the yoke (I think so it doesn't explode all over the microwave?)... anyway, it works pretty well but the Poachpods seem like a much better (and more refined) solution. :)
And these are cuuute...
