To poach an egg.

Get the water in the suacepan to a rolling boil.  With a spoon stir the water vigorously so it forms a vortex.  Crack the egg into this vortex. 

You will have to experiment as to how long you leave it for your own preference.

To keep the egg together, throw a couple of tablespoons of vinegar into the water prior to it boiling, much better job altogether.

Was going to say that, vinegar is vital.

Bought this yoke( pun intended) in Heatons recently. About E2 and you simply break the eggs into the holders and bang them in the microwave for 2 minutes and you get imo perfect poached eggs without all the foostering about.

Never quiet mastered the boiling pan approach.

Take the saucepan off the heat, drop your eggs in and stick the lid on it. Just over 6 mins does it for me

No need to stir the water either

[Rois]

Put cling film deep into a cup, then break the egg into the cling film and close over. Wing it in the boiling water and leave for a few mins, the egg will stay together and cook nicely.

That is the way to soft boil eggs. 

I'd give it 7 minutes if you want to avoid the horrible unsolidified  white fragments.

I got one of those microwave things but the lid kept bursting open scattering the egg all over the place

If you pierce the yolk it should stop the egg from exploding all over the microwave.  Have one of those wee things and it's the job.


As for the losing weight thing I agree with Rois with regards to Slimming World, initially I was doing this (by myself, not going to the classes) but I'm not sticking to it rigidly any more. 

One thing I have found is doing a water routine once or twice a week as well as your usual 'land' routine really kicks it off.  If you can find a good aqua aerobics class it is really worth a shot...I know what you are thinking, for aul biddies and injured people.  That's what I thought.  I wrecked my ankle at the start of January and decided to go along as I couldn't do my step routines and thought it would be grand.  How wrong was I!  Excellent workout, great for intense cardio and toning as well.  Even though this and swimming was the only thing I was doing for the first few months of the year I still lost weight, so I would highly recommend it!  Also I LOVE step.  I know classes seem like a girlie thing but they work!!

On paper it looks like a piece of piss but I found it tight enough going. I took the wanes out the back road after work so they were on bikes and I was pushing a pram. Was in jeans and a jumper so no intention of doing it but thought I would give it a lash anyway. As I had no earphones and the phone in my pocket I missed some commands so was running longer sometimes. I'll not judge my performance too harshly tonight!

I know Muppet said the gear was important Tony - but fair play to you for going out and getting a pram too.
