]]> Comment on How to poach an egg, a different way! by NMW http://www.andy-coates.com/blog/2007/06/04/how-to-poach-an-egg-a-different-way/#comment-17061 NMW Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:07:38 +0000 http://www.andy-coates.com/blog/2007/06/04/how-to-poach-an-egg-a-different-way/#comment-17061 This works very well I agree but the secret of doing it the "proper" way is fresh eggs - not supermarket fresh but real fresh. Then the white will not break away when you put it in the water - vinegar and salt are not required. Also helpful if you get the egg to rotate slowly while cooking by a verg gentle slow stir to create a vortex effect with egg in the center.

There are so many things wrong with that sentence that I'm not even going to begin debating why that sentence defies all sense of logic. Derren Brown is an excellent illusionist, and one of my favorites right now! His ideas are always cunning and each illusion he does amazes me again, but the best thing about him is that he explains how he was able to manipulate our/or the participant's mind. I've attempted to replicated several of his stunts and succeeded about 75% of the time - I can't wait to see what he dreams up next!

Also - you can tie a knot in it and stop worrying that it will escape from the film, climb out of the pan and eat your dog. have you tried lining the cling film with a little bit of olive oil?

It takes a little experimentation but is "relatively easy" you just need goo source material.
