Ok, these are really neat: Poach Pods. Pods for poaching. They’re pods, you poach in them, and your poaching ends up pod-shaped. That’s it and that’s all.

Mastering poached eggs done in simmering water, sans accessories, is tricky and brave; kudos to you, freestyle poacher. But, if you’d like to ensure perfectly shaped eggs with very little babying, consider investing all of $9 in a set of two of these.

Unitasker alert: whoa, bud, I gotta make room in my already-full kitchen for an egg-poaching thing? Well, yes and no. It does other things! You can bake in it - quiche, cobbler, small deserts and casseroles of all sorts. You can freeze things in it. You can poach fish, fruit, and other fragile stuff. It’s just a nonstick, heat-resistant, dishwasher-safe container that will float, stand up, and shape things into lovely little bowls; that’s real potential!
