I have never been so happy! Ok I probably have been but this is right up there!‘For years I have been trying to make poached eggs because I love them. I have tried vinegar, swirling the water, microwaveable containers, praying, offering my first born child…disaster every time. I have seen a few posts from people making eggs and while I waited for a few weeks to try it because I was really not all that confident in my friendship with the Poached Egg God, I decided to give it a go when no one was home to witness my attempt.‘I am happy to say that I MADE AND ATE A POACHED EGG and there were no tears 😀 – bit of water, an egg and 4 mins later I was in poached egg heaven. Thanks to all of you in Kmart pie maker land.’
