"When taking the pouches out of the pan, use some tongues as they are hot to handle."

Not complaining about the spelling but my brain is opposite to a dyslexic so before I could work out that it should be 'tongs' I had already imagined 3 or 4 people doing a Haka in the kitchen-jl

I too use the Lakeland ones - they are better than the small ones that used to be available, as the cups are slightly bigger so that you bring a little water to the boil first (in the microwave) then break the eggs into it and cover them so that they cook both with the conventional water and a bit of steam. I do find it better to cook at a lower temperature than Lakeland suggests to avoid any explosions!

And a strainer spoon is best for taking them out

I rarely have poached eggs in hotels as they cook them in a pan with vinegar, which spoils the taste of the egg.
