Egg Poachers

No not people stealing our eggs!! A way of cooking eggs!!
I just wanted to share how great I find these. It is so much easier for hard boiled eggs (eg for curry) than boiling and then having to peel and they are easier to tell when done than soft boiled eggs in the shell.
You just oil them slightly and crack an egg in. The curved shape always seems to ensure the yolk is in the middle. Then float them on a big pan with the lid on and boil until done. You can tell by gently poking the top (as long as the water isn't too deep in which case they just sink...) whether they are done to the hardness you want.
I got mine from Lakeland but I have seen them other places too (eg John Lewis)
