Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- a pinch of oil
- 1 liter of water
- cling film
Preparation
First of all, we put the water in the glass and program 8 minutes, varoma temperature, spoon speed. While the water is heating, we are going to prepare our eggs.
Cut a square of cling film and add a splash of oil.
We spread the oil well with a brush, with our fingers or with a spoon.
We place the square of film inside the basket and with the help of our fingers we stick it to the walls.
Very carefully, we introduce the egg inside and add a pinch of salt.
We wrap the egg with the plastic wrap, turning and tie. We must try that the egg is not too loose inside the paper so that we have a round and beautiful shape.
VAROMA CONTAINER OPTION: We are putting our poached eggs inside the Varoma container.
When we have all of them, we can only cook it. We place the Varoma container with its lid in the glass and program 5 minutes, Varoma temperature, speed 2.
At the end of the time, we carefully remove the packets and let them cool for a couple of minutes. With scissors, we cut the plastic right where we have knotted it and our egg will slide easily thanks to the oil that we put in it at the beginning.
BASKET OPTION: another option is to cook them inside the basket. This is a good idea if we are going to cook a number not higher than 4. If there are more than 4, I recommend the Varoma. In this case, we would do the same. We would heat 1,5 liters of water for 8 minutes, Varoma temperature, spoon speed (with the basket inside the glass). Then we would very carefully introduce our packets of eggs and cook for 5 minutes, Varoma temperature, speed 2.
