Poachies Egg poaching Bags, 17 x 13.5 x 3 cm, Pack of 100

I’m hooked on using these poaching bags it’s the only way I’ll poach an egg now. Simple to use, 3 minutes boil then a perfect poached egg! Have told lots of friends about them

Perfect Poached Eggs Every Time! I’m so impressed with the Poachies Egg Poaching Bags. They make poaching eggs completely fool-proof – no more messy vinegar water or broken yolks. Just crack your egg into the bag, drop it into boiling water, and in a few minutes you’ve got a perfectly cooked, soft, and runny poached egg. The bags are good quality and large enough (17 x 13.5 cm) to easily hold the egg without splitting. They don’t stick, and the eggs slide out effortlessly with no need for oil. Cleanup is non-existent – you just throw the bag away. Perfect for quick breakfasts, brunches, or when cooking for guests. I’ve had consistent results every time, and with 100 bags in a pack, they’re great value for money. I honestly wish I’d discovered these sooner!

First, the eggs do cook to perfection.... however.. you need to carry the egg in the bag IN the mug/glass as the egg white tends to leak out of the bag during transit. Cooking time is about right, eggs were starting to turn a little hard with 4.5 mins and xtra large eggs, but that's just your own preference. Eggs don't tend to slide out of the bag even when a little hard, so I had to rip the bags open. Not a big problem, just a bit messy. I was happy overall as no need to wash a poached egg pan, apart from the dripping egg white. Not sure id buy again as have to use 10 for a family meal, so not cost effective for me.

Brilliant item… at last perfect poached eggs every time.

Very useful when I cant be bothered to make them the old fashioned way

There is little better than poached eggs on a slice of fresh brown bread with an avocado bottom. This 100-pack of poachies allows you to make poached eggs on an industrial scale! And it’s a healthier alternative compared to frying. We’ve tried several ways of preparing poached eggs; cook them in hot water and vinegar, silicone cups – nothing really worked. These poachies, that could double as coffee filter bags, are not perfect but they get you somewhere. First of all the resulting poached egg remains a bit dense, as if lightly baked, and the result is a fairly small sized poached egg - even if you buy the most sizeable, premium eggs. So you'll still not get restaurant-quality poached egg on your plate. Secondly it remains a messy business, some egg white will spill as you pour the egg in the pouch, even when standing up opened up in a glass. And you’ll have to pull the water soaked sleeves with the poached egg out of the cooking water again. And in my opinion there is a, say 5% chance of failure; when a bag rips, tilts prematurely or if you place it in the water too slowly. So given thee issues I would rate with 4 stars only. But I take off 1 more for the price; At 10 pence per bag this is not a cheap solution (although you are reasonably sure of an acceptable and tasty result). And it’s all very straight forward, quick and easy. But given the price I'm tempted to poach an egg with an actual coffee filter bag that I can buy at less than 3 pence per bag. I should perhaps add that we tend to cook the eggs less than the suggested 6 minutes to keep them sufficiently gooey. We first tried a set of 20 pouches that we worked through fairly quickly. And now, with more guests expected and the holiday season coming up it seemed like a good idea to stock up so we bought the pack of 100.

Do the job perfectly. Best poach egg

Great little pouch for poaching, but every one I’ve used so far leaks from the base before even reaching the boiling water. I’ve followed the instructions carefully—opening a pouch in a glass, cracking the egg into it, and then transferring it to the pan of boiling water—but it still leaves an annoying trail of egg white on the way to the pot. And of course, until it solidifies, more egg white leaks into the water. The pouch size is decent, though and I am still getting a poached egg but it isn't perfect. That said, I still have quite a few pouches left to get through before I consider switching to another option.
