Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fusionbrands 3-Inch Silicone Poach Pod Egg Poaching Tool, GreenCustomer Review: Coddle Your Breakfast Eggs With Poachpods Summary: 5 Stars
I hate greasy fried eggs whose whites and yolks are even a little bit hard, and whose whites are even a little bit rubbery, or crackly; and poached eggs whose whites have dissolved into a mess.
So, my mother, who was a great cook, trained me to steam eggs in a frying pan at medium-low heat, after butter in the pan had gently started to bubble, and then to quickly add 1-2 tablespoons of water, (filtered, distilled, or tap), into the pan, quickly covering it. Using this method, eggs could be quickly steamed until the yolks turned pink and the whites firmed up. (A minute or less of steaming does it.) When done perfectly, this method results in elegantly tender whites and soft yolks. it takes training and/or experience to master its exact timing. If you get distracted even for just an instant, it fails. The result is hard-cooked yolks, and hard and even crackly-fried whites. Using Poachpods is easier and less trouble to produce properly cooked eggs.
Eggs are poached in simmering water and vinegar. Eggs are coddled in a pot of water in hard or soft, and covered or uncovered containers. Therefore, silicone PoachPods, when floating on simmering water in a covered pot for three to four minutes, (your choice), coddle the whites, and steam the yolks and the top of the whites. I think that the result is wonderful. (It's a quick and easy way to make ONE hard boiled egg at a time, for a quick egg salad sandwich.
Prepared as I've described below, leaving nothing to chance or confusion, eggs are quick and easy to prepare, cook, and slide right onto your plate, toast, or other food, and to clean afterwards, when using PoachPods. These directions, although exact, aren't complicated, taking only an instant to do every step, after you've done them exactly a few times. Then, they're a breeze!
To use Poachpods properly the first time:
1) Clean Poachpods with hot running water. Turn Poachpods over to drip, but not dry.
2) Rub all around the inside of each Poachpod with a drop of dishwashing detergent.
3) Rinse Poachpods thoroughly with hot running water.
4) Turn Poachpods upside down in a dish tray and let them dry completely.
5) If you live in a hard-water area, rub the inside of wet or dry Poachpods with a terry dishcloth.
If you use Poachpods properly, and clean them (as described above) after every use, you will never have to scrub them. If you forget any step described below, you might hurt yourself or have to scrub them with a non-stick scrubber. To prepare EGGS with PoachPods, safely and to your taste, use the following method.
Prep PoachPods and Poaching Pot or Deep Pan :
6) Spray the inside of PoachPods lightly with non-stick, zero-calorie, cooking spray.
7) Dab the inside bottom of each Poachpod very lightly with a finger-tip covered with a paper towel, to get rid of excess cooking spray.
8) Boil water in pot or pan large enough to hold as many eggs as you want to poach in Poachpods.
9) Turn boiling water down to medium, until water is at simmer. Cover pot.
Poach Each egg in a Separate PoachPod:
10) Crack egg, and insert each egg into a PoachPod. (I use one Jumbo egg to each PoachPod.)
11) Float Poachpod(s) in at least 1 & 1/2 inches of simmering water. Cover pot.
12) Using egg timer, simmer PoachPod(s) for 3 to 4 minutes (your choice).
Release Each Egg From its PoachPod:
13) Lift PoachPod(s) out of the boiling water, with a slotted spoon. (Safest, quickest way!)
14) Rest PoachPod(s) on paper or terry towels until cool enough to handle.
OR
Place terry washcloth or dishcloth in palm of hand. Place single hot PoachPod on protected hand.
15) Manipulate edges of each PoachPod, gently pulling egg(s) from the sides of PoachPod(s).
16) Slide each egg onto toast, toasted English muffin, or on top of corned beef hash.
If you've faithfully used every step listed above, Clean PoachPod, using steps 1 to 5 (above). If you forgot to use cooking spray to coat them before you used them, then lightly use a non-stick scrubber to clean every trace of egg out of the Poachpod, then follow cleaning directions 1 to 5.
