She’s living the life I wish I were - supplying people with links to coolness. Anyway, I had it in my head to make another batch of pies and streamline the process of putting the dough in the jar. (I’ve got it figured out, but that’s another post.) Yeah, I knew bread flour would not be good for pie crust (makes it stretchy and tough), and thought I was using all-purpose. I was not. Blech.

You just have to make sure you oil them a little bit so the eggs won't stick. http://www.cheftools.com/prodinfo.asp?number=06-1351 I purchased the silicon egg poachers and they work great!

You'd be surprised - whatever colors appeals to you ends up going with your other stuff. My copper throw pillows have ended up going with almost everything!

You can also get neat little egg poacher "stands" at Crate and Barrel - they work well for me. http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=748&f=12943&q=egg&fromLocation=Search&DIMID=400001&SearchPage=1 Another possibility - your water was too hot. Generally, you should be able to bring to JUST before boiling (i.e. a large bubble simmer) and poach. That might be why it melted. I concur... you don't need the saran wrap.

We don't have the same plastic wrap that they have over there. Well, it's the same, but it's not the same. I suspect that it's thicker than ours. The Glad website says that their plastic wrap is .5 mm thick. Could you double-up your cling film? Oh! Could you use a Ziploc bag instead? Like, cut it open so it works more like the film over the bowl? It's definitely thicker than plastic wrap. Maybe I'll try that today. Nicky is in Germany, I think?

Alexa - I think this was the trouble. I need to get to Costco to buy a roll of the kind they sell. Barrie - Yup, I don't recall seeing a black and white cookie on this coast. Syd - Maybe that is what took me to the brownie eggs? I'm not sure, I collect a bunch of stuff and post it a few days later, by which time I've usually completely forgotten where it came from. Which is actually why I started this here weblog. Jennifer - Thanks!

The restaurant kitchen kind won't melt in hot water - maybe that's the kind she used?
