Perfect Poached Egg Every Time

This is a great tip I have picked up, works every time!

I love poached egg but could never get it the same every time. I have tried every gadget and old wives tale going but nothing works as well as this.

STEP ONE:

Get a small bowl and some 'food safe' cling film. Place the cling film in the bowl and make a well. Crack the egg into the well.

STEP TWO:

Pull together all the sides of the cling film. Twist the cling film together at the top so that the egg dangles below when lifted out of the bowl.

STEP THREE:

Heat a pan of water until boiling, then place the egg into the pan. Cook for 3 1/2 minutes (if doing 2 eggs at a time change it to 4 minutes)

STEP FOUR:

Remove the egg from the pan and cut the top off the cling film. Peel back the cling film from the poached egg.

Perfect runny poached egg...done!
