For anyone out there who may have a similar problem- loving poached eggs, and the added benefit of lower calories by preparing them this way (or just really loving poached eggs)... but not having an egg poacher- WORRY NOT! There is a solution. An easy one too.
The magical solution to your problem comes in the form of a Mason Jar lid-ring. That's right, just the lid-ring.
1)You place the ring in the bottom of an empty pot.
2)Fill the water inside and outside the ring, until both levels just crest and meet each other at the top of the lid-ring... NO HIGHER. Believe me you'll defeat the purpose, and your egg will swim.
3)Bring the water to a barely boiling boil (tiny air bubbles present) and lower heat to mid-low/medium.
4)Finally, crack your egg into the lid-ring, being careful not to break the yolk. If you want to be a safety/perfectionist freak like me... I like to crack my egg into a cup, and then poor it into the lid-ring.
That's it!
Perfect Every Time.
