Experimental Cooking! Maneet Chauhan's Poached Eggs

 I ran across this trick last night whilst watching


Kelly's cooking shows. Basically,  it's a sous vide-ish method of cooking poached eggs.  What will you need?

Eggs

Plastic wrap (pieces should be ~4" per side or a bit larger)

A small juice glass

Oil

A basting brush.

Pot/pan with boiling water.

Slotted spoon 

1. Put a square of plastic wrap in to the juice cup. You're using it as a form. Drape over the outside.

2. Dribble some oil i to the lined cup, and brush up the sides.

3. Crack an egg into the resulting pouch.  Season to taste.

4. Gather up the sides/corners, and twist shut, forming a small pouch. 

5. Make all your eggs. THEN put into the hot water to cook.

6. We tried both 4 and 5 minutes. In the picture above, the rear was 4 minutes, the front 5. So that's pretty much your sweet spot to get runny eggs. I would suggest in the middle - 4:30.
