I have experimented with poaching eggs in a number of
ways. See my posts here, here, here
and here. This time I bought some silicone pockets to
try out. It’s the first time I've used
silicone and I wasn't quite sure what to expect.
The result was perfectly cooked poached eggs and good
taste – but a strange shape.
I just oiled each pocket lightly and then slid the egg
as gently as I could into it. Then lower
it into water just coming to the boil.
The pocket will float.
You do need to put a lid on the pot because otherwise
the egg will take forever to poach.
Luckily I had a glass pot lid so I could see what was going on.
The eggs turned out reasonably easily. I'll be doing this again.
Do you use silicone molds in your cooking?
salmon and eggs are a wonderful match and the silicon pockets seem to create a perfect meal.
ReplyDeleteI have silicon ice cube trays, but no other molds. Using the molds looks easier than slipping the eggs into water.
ReplyDeleteI have seen them and been curious about them, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCarole, I sadly avoid poached eggs as I am rubbish at making them. I think I should perhaps invest in some of these silicones moulds.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a silicon pocket like this but I want one. Love poached eggs.
