Wot, I use those individual silicone poaching pods like these: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Silicone-Egg-Poacher-Cook-Poach-Pods-Kitchen-Tool-Cookware-Poached-Baking-Cup-/131422256067?hash=item1e99607bc3:g:g8gAAOxyiklTkXLN

I float them in a deep frypan and the eggs take 5 minutes. You have to grease the pods before putting the eggs in, but I've not had any trouble getting them out. Dishwasher friendly too and cheap to buy. HTH :-)

I though the 'tray' with the dips to crack the eggs into (think this is what you mean) was supposed to sit proud of the water.

I'm probably a bit daft, but I had this metal poacher that can hang on a saucepan. It almost rusted away, so I bought another one. I used to completely submerge the eggs in boiling water, but now I'm wondering if one is only supposed to sit the thing in shallow water. My mum used to do it with no kitchen aids but I couldn't manage that. Any advice welcome!
