More Egg Stuff!

I can't help it. I saw these 'Poach Pods' and just had to tell you about them. Everyone knows that poaching eggs is a pain in the backside - you have to make sure the egg has cracked perfectly and then do that fiddly bit where you spin the water around for ages, then to top that off it always (if you're me) seems to to slide of the spoon when your taking it out!

So the idea with the Poach Pods is that you lightly coat the pod with oil, crack in the egg, float in the water and cook. The really clever bit is that when it's done you flip the pod inside out and the egg is released onto the plate - undamaged!

The Poach Pod is available from Lakeland and costs £4.98

Swarovski - Clack Egg Cracker

In the same way I didn't know that Egg Cosies existed, I am now surprised to find out that there is such a thing as a clack egg cracker. While writing this blog, I seem to have discovered that eggs is not just eggs. They are in fact the key to a mahoosive range of gizmos and gadgets out there, designed to aid us with the act of actually eating, well...eggs.

Anyways, I didn't know I needed one of these until I saw this Clack Egg Cracker - Swarovski Crystal Edition, no less!

The idea is to place your eggs under the metal caps and let the ball drop (technically it's called clanging) down on top of it. The result is that the top half of your egg is sliced perfectly so you don't have to pick off all the nasty shell pieces.

It's a little bit genius really.

The Clack Egg Clanger costs £17.99 and can be bought from 'Not On The Highstreet'
