I find that when poaching if I use a spatula to flip water on the egg, like you're frying it, they cook evenly and quickly.
What’s the next kitchen item you plan to buy (2025)?

$20USD stainless steel and can be used as a fry pan also.
All parts are dishwasher safe, YAY and for the price, if I hate it, it goes to the charity shop and I won't cry about it.

My MIL bought me a similar one awhile back. It's not the same as poached. But yours is a better quality pan and having the stainless fry pan is nice.
I can never soft-boil an egg to my liking, but I have no issue with turning out (what I think are) perfectly fine poached eggs.

Well, done and done.
Ordered both Egg Poacher & Digital Scale, either were horribly expensive so if they're trash, off to the charity shop they go.
I will report back on they're performance.

A bit late to the party, but we had an egg poacher like that
It works but is not the same as a "normal" poached egg. It's more like a steamed egg.
All that remains of it now are the 'egg holders", which I use to measure out rice and as oversized spoons

I still line a coffee cup with plastic wrap, dump the egg(s) in, make a knot in the top and poach them like that.
I can do a dozen at a time.

How?
I don't think I understand.
What method do you use where you can knock out a dozen at a time?
I'm thinking massive vat of water

Me too. I've got my tried and it works method down pat without venturing another path. Plus, I hate buying plastic wrap. That crap wants to stick to everything and NOT stay in a nice rectangular/usable piece once I tear it off.
I hear that.
I am pretty particular about the plastic wrap I use, and Glad definitely changed something. That stuff can't be moved from point A to point B without it folding in half. And I've been using it for probably 25 years.
Something has changed
