Love poached eggs but always mess them up?
Fret not — the hero that is Jamie Oliver has come up with a genius food hack to conquer the tricky challenge of perfect poached eggs.
Years of swirling boiling water and using far too much vinegar have brought us here.
The trick? Cling-film.

It can be slightly tricky to retain the perfect shape when poaching, but Jamie’s clever twist solves this problem: he uses clingfilm and a little olive oil to create individual egg-parcels, which are then dropped into the water to bob around while they cook.
