Poaching an egg in clingfilm, at Delicious Days. The first time I tried this (years ago) the egg stuck to the plastic. I tried this again yesterday with her tip to lightly oil the plastic, but the plastic melted in the water and the egg spilled out. Why do I lack the ability to do poached eggs this way?

    Ummm…maybe because poached eggs are so easy to make the old-fashioned way that the plastic wrap is trying to shame you?

    Kidding.

    Good batch of links today, there were, like, 5 things I want to try now!

    In that post at Delicious Days, there is link to cake baked in eggs, not unlike the brownies.

    the pink frosted cookie is a much smaller version of the east coast’s black and white cookie. i’ve looked all over seattle for the black and white cookie i’ve learned to love and it doesn’t exist here. until! yesterday i went to metropolitan market and saw a miniature version of it. but of course, they called it an easter cookie even though there was no sign of it looking easterly. bah.

    You can buy two kinds of cling film: the normal thinnish Saran Wrap kind, and thicker, slightly less sticky stuff that restaurant kitchens use. The restaurant kitchen kind won’t melt in hot water – maybe that’s the kind she used?

    We tried this kale recipe (scroll past the salmon part) and I thought it was really good:

    watch the video of how he made it (mine wasn’t crispy after the first eight minutes so I cooked it longer, checking frequently, until it was crispy). Unusual!

    Jennifer – Thanks!

    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.

    i poach eggs without cling film. boil water in a pot. crack an egg into a small bowl. when water is boiling pour the egg in slowly.
    it’s very easy and works everytime for me.

    if you go on this site you’ll find the book where you can make the brownie in an egg.

    looks like the girl’s a knitter too. must be kismet.

    Nicky is in Germany, I think? 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.

    I concur… you don’t need the saran wrap. You can also get neat little egg poacher “stands” at Crate and Barrel – they work well for me.

    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 think you should get colorful orange or aqua or green or yellow pillows for your gray couch. 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!

    I purchased the silicon egg poachers and they work great! You just have to make sure you oil them a little bit so the eggs won’t stick.

    […] I had a brief fling with fame when the tiny pies were listed on notmartha.org. 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. […]
