"I can't poach and and make it look good reliably.
I can't make a chicken Kiev without the garlic butter draining out while it's cooking. "
Place a sauce pan half to 3/4 full of water on heat until small bubbles are floating to the surface. adjust heat until small bubbles are constant. Crack a fresh egg into a small cup then tip the egg into the sauce pan with the cup near the surface. Then spoon out when done  |

"Make a light fluffy sponge. Always turns out to be a heavy stodgy disaster"
Separate the eggs into yolks and whites, beat the yolks with the sugar and butter till its nearly white and separately, whisk the whites into soft peaks then fold the egg whites in after you've sifted in the flour. Dead fluffy sponge  |

"For me. Crack an egg into a frying pan without breaking the yoke. I’ve tried various methods.  "
Hold the egg under under the hot running tap for a few seconds first. Works every time. |

"Make an edible poached egg
Love this..I've tried everything to no avail!"
Pan of hot water, not boiling.
Put the toast down.
Lower eggs into water with slotted spoon in their shells.
Leave them in for no more than 30 secs.
Take them out again and put them down for about 20 or 30 secs until you can just pick them up without burning yourself.
Crack them into the water.
When the toast pops up, they’re ready. |

Supermarkets are designed to make us buy stuff we don't need!
I went in Tesco earlier for some onions and came out with ALL of the stuff
I needed it all though obviously  |

French plait my hair which is really annoying as it's long enough now and it would be lovely for work
I also can't get the USB wire in the right way on 1st attempt. Why do they always go in wrong when it's 50/50 chance??  |

Thanks - I’ll try this. My mixture tends to curdle at the egg stage, even when I add flour at the same time

You can make a really light fluffy sponge without using fat at all, with the same method mentioned. Just whip the eggs up with the sugar then slowly fold in the flour, leaving out the butter altogether. SO light and delicious.

Add some vinegar to the water, and stir it to create a slight whirlpooly thing to drop the egg into. Vinegar slows the egg white congealing as it disperses, and the circle movement keeps it centred. Or use an egg poaching tray in the microwave like me |

Should really start an egg poaching thread
Loads of variations. I did that one for a while. Still didn’t quite work as well as I’d hoped. Concluded that it came down to the freshness of the eggs. Can now do it pretty consistently. |
