I do mine in a skillet.... With vinegar. only takes about an inch of water... The vinegar causes the albumen to contract so your Eggs stay together. So says Alton Brown.

How about coddled eggs.... One day I want to try that....

I have seen egg coddlers that can hold about a half dozen eggs. each little cup has a handle and the whole thing rests in a grid.... and it has a lid to keep the heat and steam in...

but you can coddle eggs in small mason jars ..... or even coffee cups
Just have to be put under heat and steam.

You can also poach eggs in any liquid like Tomato juice or Butter....

Secret to poached eggs is a little Vinegar, makes the whites stay firm.
Used to have way back many yrs ago a poaching pan from grandmas, put a dozen eggs in the pan had holders for them, more like steamed eggs, anyone else have one of those?
Long gone now just remember it.

We have one... holds uh... 6?

Eggs cooked on low heat ate actually better for you than eggs cooked on high heat. Something about how it changes the proteins in the eggs.

So I try to just eat eggs poached... the fancy pan makes it way easier.

you can add a little cream or butter with the eggs too... along with ham and a bit of cheese...

My mother did the coddled eggs. Again, I'm not a big fan. Hers held 6 at a time.

It's not uncommon around here to hear gunshots at various times of day, and night. 2 of my "neighbors" have their own gun ranges set up with various targets. Oh, and a cannon. One of the locals further over has his own cannon, and he fires it off at various times. When I say neighbors, I use the term very loosely.

As to getting the law out here, Dh is a deputy, and at least one of my closer neighbors down the road is a deputy, so that's not a problem. Mostly everyone around has a big enough clear space for the helicopter to land, and medevac us to the hospital.

As to fires, the county planners were smart enough to put enough sub stations, so that's not a big problem either. I really do love our community here. It's remote enough, but close enough at the same time. It's one of the final frontiers of it's kind in this part of Florida.

Dh worked on Father's Day, so I made his Father's Day meal last night. We pigged out on a semi-gourmet meal.
