Getting a perfect shape for poached eggs

Many an egg has been discarded after an unsuccessful poaching attempt. The eggs cook, but even after following every trick you've heard about adding vinegar, swirling the water around and using various cups to drop the egg in exactly the right place, eggs still manage to come out looking less than perfect. Using an egg poacher will help you get cleaner shape, with no tendrils of egg white snaking off into the water, but using a Flower Shaped Egg Poacher will get you a more interesting one. Made of nonstick metal, the poacher will release the eggs onto your plate as easily as it cooks them. It may not make a traditionally-shaped poached egg, but will add an interesting touch to your breakfast plating.

The metal will just heat up cooking the egg.

Whether's a "real" poacher or not per alex, it steam poaches the egg perfectly every time, and up pops the toast. One of my gadget purchases that actually worked well.
