Doesn't look too much different than an eggpoacher that uses steam to
poach.
Did you ever swirl the water before dropping the egg in? (regular
method) Purists say that's the only way to poach an egg, but I've
never tried it.
Of course, you keep swirling the water after you've dropped the egg
into the eye of the swirl, so you have to be careful with boiling
water. Use a large, deep pan.

Crumbs. Seems whacky to me.
I've never found the ultimate solution for poaching eggs. We've got all
sorts of gizmos for doing so but have never found our ultimate solution to
our desires.
SWMBO'd likes a poached egg on toast: I don't disagree with that.
I like a poached egg on toast with spinnach; here lies problems!

I always soft boil my eggies and then unpeel them onto the spinach.
But then that is because i like runny yolk. Others in my family cannot
stand a yolk that is not solid. Them I fry for sunnyside up with
nonstick spray on the pan and a lid.

I only ever poach eggs in their shells, they're 'orrible otherwise.
It's not the first time I've seen cling film being used to keep the form
of food while cooking. I don't like that idea, I get the feeling that
there will be stuff leaching out of the film.
