• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Poaching more than one egg at once?

I had to pension off my lovely old poacher- it was my Dad's, bought in the 1930s! - because it was no good for my old solid hotplate cooker and definitely would be no good for my ceramic one. The 2 eggs I poached yesterday, I cooked last in the same frying pan I used for the potato farls, tomatoes and broccoli. I brought the water to a boil, then slipped the eggs in from a cup, turned the heat down and let them get on with it. They didn't take long at all, certainly not 5 minutes. I gave the bits to the mutt.
