If poaching eggs to perfection is always something you've struggled with, then these top cooking aids should ensure your whites don't wonder and your yolks remains soft and runny.
Kitchen Craft silicone non-stick egg poacher
Suitable for use in a pan or in a microwave, this poaching gadget may look a little like a space ship but we're told it's very easy and safe to use. And, because it's totally non-stick, your perfectly cooked poached egg ought to simply slide out.
4-cup egg poacher
This is a great accessory for the family who likes their poached eggs. It comes with 4 non-stick inserts (although adding a little knob of butter to each before cracking in the egg will ensure they slide out effortlessly) and it also doubles up as a frying pan, making it a versatile investment. One thing to bear in mind though, it's not suitable for use on induction hobs.

Poach Perfect
This set of two resilient silicone poachers promises to keep your whites inside and egg removal easy. To use, just coat the inside of each poacher lightly with oil - the idea is the egg will slip out from the flexible silicone container when its done. For under £5 for two, we say it's worth a go!
