Coffee cup, half cup of boiled water, pinch of salt and white pepper, splash of vinegar, crack egg into water, microwave for 1 minute, perfect poached egg every time, Gaz... guaranteed☝️.
@@BaldFoodieGuy I like Tesco's Chestnut Maran free range eggs, Gaz. Big tasty eggs with almost orange yolks, and usually on offer at about £2•50 for six. £2 for 2? Nah mate, it's not happening🙅♂️!
@@stephenwhitnall322 Nope. Just keep an eye on it in case it boils over, mate. The half cup of boiled water is a measure, not half the coffee cup. And our micro is 800w. Hope that helps.
This is eggcellent, thank you for cheering up a wet Tuesday! 🤣Seriously, it is so quick and easy to poach eggs that I don’t know why anyone would buy them, and then still have to microwave them. As for £2 for two, that is £6 for half a dozen eggs - are they from that goose that laid the golden eggs? The world has gone mad - mad, I tell you, maaad!!!
All jokes aside, these are a perfect treat for an elderly or disabled person. My late MIL (god rest) would’ve loved this as she was limited to microwave meals. My mum would too as she’s had several strokes.
Yes, hope she is okay. I agree it’s good for the elderly, people who have trouble standing for long and also for lunch at work but they need to be far far cheaper though
Yes, any time there’s a product like this it’s usually designed for people who are less abled. Stuff like chopped onions or peeled potatoes and so on... they’re really good for people who would struggle otherwise. Good on Marks! Have you tried their breakfasts? They do a veggie and meat version with a poached egg, beans, etc. Very tasty, surprisingly good!
I know someone who gets them for a relative who suffers with dementia and is not allowed to use the cooker for safety reasons. These are ideal for her.
Thank you so much! I was stuck at lunchtime for something healthy and nutricious to eat so I did my own 2 poached eggs on toasted wholemeal bread. Tasty and I think that's good for 60p including the bread and butter. 👍 Magic.
Of all the foods I eat, eggs are my absolute favourite, and I eat a boiled egg every day with crispy thickly buttered toast as part of my breakfast. I've perfected the process, for an egg with an almost set sticky yolk with a touch of runniness. Boil for 7 minutes precisely, then plunge the eggs into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Absolutely delicious! 😋 £2 for two eggs? Daylight bloody robbery! 😲 ... Eggs have rocketed in price. I used to pay around a pound for 15 at Farmfoods, and now £2.69 for 12 at Aldi.
In the name of the wee man Gaz poached eggs in a packet 😲 who would've believed it 😂 Thank you Gaz for this review 👍 they looked 🤤😋 That Stokes sauce is lovely 😋 I got it from a online butcher, they do tomato, bbq, mayonnaise, apple sauce, all sorts👍 Have a lovely day Gaz ♥️
Cheers mate, I will definitely be trying these. They look great for a quick breakfast when you're in a hurry. No need for pots and pans and they look really delicious. Thanks again for your videos.
I would not say those yolks were runny in the true sense. They looked hard-boiled to me. And as you say Gazzer, they are the height of laziness and M&S is cashing in on it.
@@mark-andrews It’s easy to scoff but for with people with disabilities- blind, arthritis etc and the elderly,prepared fresh food is a Godsend. Pity it’s all so expensive though.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, but I have to hand it to M&S they always deliver, I think these are amazing if you can’t poach an egg lol loved this Thanks Gaz ❤❤
There's an old school 4 egg poacher from Asda at the min for £5 .. and it triples as a poacher / frying pan / small pan with lid ... And perfect poached eggs evertime for the time it takes to do your toast .. peace
The restaurants buy them in large tubs, as big as large paint tubs... ( i know this as i was helping out in a restaurant in the summer and she got out the tub.... 😊
Now we’re talking! Absolutely superb, how labour intensive is it to poach an egg. Definitely be giving these a try with Houses of Parliament sauce. Thanks for sharing Gareth, bang on mate as always. 👍🏼
hi gareth enjoyed the 'chuckle ' joke thanks for bringing the latest from m&s expensive £2 for just two eggs. much 'cheaper' to buy a box of six look forward to the next to have a 'chuckle 'at keep well and stay safe all the best wes
Hi Gaz.Hope you're well and Family Mate.If you have an All Day Full English breakfast in an MandS Cafe they give you these 2 instead of 2 fried eggs and 2 Sausages and a bit of Streaky bacon and a big field mushroom on the plate that smells of Wet Dog because it's all been Microwaved.I had it last week in an MandS Cafe.
I cannot believe what you can find in the UK 🇬🇧! We have nothing like this in the US! I think I would like my eggs on crumpets, which are similar to English muffins in the US. Eggs here in the US, at least in New York State, are expensive! I like organic free range eggs, although I am put off eggs by the smell at times. Microwave eggs in a glass container, maybe sausage and cheese, something similar to fast food breakfast, but at home! Thinking about it, I just might try doing this myself! Although I should try making a quiche; relatively simple to make, just buy ready made crust in the refrigerated or freezer section, then poor mixture into the pastry pie, then bake until done!
Hi , Top of the Morning ta ya. 12 Eggs in the west of Ireland £2.35 Sterling . Thanks for reviewing the Space Ship Eggs, but I will never purchase eggs out of their shell in liquid of some sort.☘
What a laugh. It’s not just the food reviews I love about your channel but the craic Gaz. Some of the one liners and comments are priceless. But perfectly poached eggs??? I’m stunned. Why??? 👍
Good review Gareth,I personally won’t be buying,but I can see a market for them,shame about the price though,I was thinking £1.50 would of been more fairer for a lazy alternative cheat! 👍
These look delicious, but I'm not sure about spending £2 for 2 eggs when I can buy six eggs for less and just poach them myself. Your vid did remind me that I need to buy some more Stokes sauce. I have run out and I am slumming it with HP at the moment. Incidentally, have you tried the M&S runny scotch eggs? They are really good, but cost a fair bit more than £2 for 2.
I looked for the brown sauce on Amazon it is $20 a bottle! Something similar in the States would be A1 steak sauce, which i love. Stokes is made with dates and A1 with raisins so i imagine the taste is similar. I guess Stokes will go on my bucket list.
Same price as 6 very large fresh eggs from Tesco. I would suggest that if you can't poach eggs then probably give power tools a miss and under no circumstances go near firearms.
@@WeAreThePeople1690Mine turn into ghosts, spreading out into the entire pan. Ive tried everything - vinegar, stirring etc, the whites never stay compact. I got a little thing you can put into the microwave to hold them all together but they don’t taste the same. Good enough though.
Thanks for the video Gareth, great, keep bringing us the new stuff. Good work. PS What make/model of counter top Combo Oven are you using I’m in the market for something similar ? Thanks again
Yes I like the idea. You put your toast on and in 3 minutes the toast is ready, on the last minute you put the pre cooked egg in the microwave. OR You put a fresh egg on the boil at the same time as you put your toast on and they are both ready at the same time. 🥚🍳
Busy life easy eating ,no mess no fuss and perfect ,now and again may buy them however Gareth do these kinda cooking stay around ,to enjoy them now and again thanx for another fab video, will be buying these ,only for convience, much love always ❤
When I saw these in M&S, I was shocked, but then realised a great deal of people struggle to make poached eggs. The cost, of course, is for the process that it takes to make. They do look good, and Stokes brown sauce is the very best.
I love poached eggs but physically can't do them properly, and microwaving from raw is quite hit or miss for me. I don't get to M&S (housebound) so I won't be trying these (and couldn't afford them on a regular basis at around the same price as I'd pay for a box of 6 free range eggs) but if I could, I'd be tempted to treat myself.
(That said, heating them in the plastic thingy with the extremely hot water is probably a no on 'these might be a nice option for disabled people', I'd probably end up with scalded hands, and that's a trip to A&E...)
@starilvara you could try Ocado with your 25% discount on your first order and give them a try to treat yourself.. just a thought. I think after this clip I might give them a try.. at lest once.
The easiest way to make poached eggs is to get very fresh eggs. You don’t need any tricks or additions to the hot water then - just plonk eggs in simmering water for a couple of minutes.
Hi Gareth , no way would l pay a pound an egg , last week l went to Iceland , thought l pick up a few of the one pound items you have been reviewing , while in Iceland l picked up a Takeway Beef Madras £2 , it was the best curry l have ever bought from any supermarket EVER !!! nice to see Iceland selling budget food again .
One egg recepe you could try for us from M&S is the scotch eggs! Not the cheaper one but the Gastropub 2 Scotch Eggs Starter. These apparently come out runny, the other ones are hard boiled. I do like the variety of the foods you try for us and I do like a quality product now and then. Regards.
Can I just say something here I think you're a great guy with charisma character and personality that has a lot to offer I think youre a great guy didn't even know that you're or you were struggling with drinking Im just a random guy who works as chef and watches your videos for us our sense of humour don't stop just keep going it's just an obstacle.pls don't give what you've been doing ppl watch you for your personality sense of humour and one liners I'm just random foreigner UK btw Do not stop
Like you, Gareth, we recently found out about Stokes sauces , by accident, when our local CoOp had run out of HP!!!! Boss lady saw Stokes, and despite the price (ouch!) bought a bottle and it really is the canines!!
Gaz…. It’s M&S was always going to be perfect! Lazy but fair play. I do some nice poached eggs but these look better 😂 the brown sauce looks extra dark, will look into this once my Daddies has gone! Top video …. Smithy
I checked it wasn't 1st April when I saw this. For some folk I think it's a great idea, despite being a bit overpriced. Great for the less abled for example. Taking preparation and packaging into account, if M&S dropped the price even by 50p for two to £1.50, they would probably fly out the door. It's that '£1 for one egg' that seems to get people. We use Ocado and if they ever stock these would at least give them a try.
Good grief Gareth 2 quid for two eggs, that’s crazy. The ingredients are laughable…. All that crap for a pouched egg 🤣🤣. Thanks for sharing, hope you enjoyed the ‘eggs-periment’ 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Well Gareth, I did have a really good laugh 😂 I have seen it all now poached eggs to buy what a total & utter rip-off £2.00 no way my goodness shops are really out to get you anyway they can …… Thanks for sharing 👍✨
Nice to to see your Eggtastic vlog gareth it seems you had a yolk of a time eating those.. Just mention organic free range eggs work out at 80p per egg in asda See you on your next vlog
I do poached eggs in a frying pan like you'd do a fried egg ..water (half inch or so ) ,salt and vinegar...flip the boilling water over the egg with a spatula etc...drain the water but guard the poached egg with the spatula as you don't want it falling in the sink .
Gobsmacked..... but I can understand there would be a market out there.... Personally I like my old worn egg poaching pan.... Try other methods as I might (did them in microwave while I was rushing about in morning to get to work) I return to the old pan.... Thank you for reviewing this little bit of luxury with us... They could add in some smoked salmon and a good sachet of Hollandaise, charge a fortune but be a bit more luxurious!!! .... Right now it's lunch time... Therefore home made soup and a bread roll, glass of milk.... My idea of luxury!!!
Why oh why!! It makes me laugh at some of the ideas supermarket development teams think off, I can see the advert now,' these are no ordinary eggs these are M & S perfectly poached eggs'😅
Foot note to Stokes Sauces and there other products. Have tried most of what they on offer being me. Never had a bad one yet. The Brown Sauce is really the best one out there for certain. Put it on your Fish and Chips or a nice crispy Streaky Bacon Sandwich.
Hi there Just found your channel and have liked and are following you I just wanted to ask you where you bought your AirFryer Grill please? I have just bought one in a similar shape but it is noisy I also bought a Microwave and that is also noisy That is what you get for wanting a particular colour 🙉 Anyways all the best and keep keeping us all informed
Coffee cup, half cup of boiled water, pinch of salt and white pepper, splash of vinegar, crack egg into water, microwave for 1 minute, perfect poached egg every time, Gaz... guaranteed☝️.

This was Eggciting 🙂
I get my Butler to go to M and S buy the perfect poached eggs and mircowave them for me as he's so busy.😂
Too cheap to hire a private chef, then???
My butler refused to do this as they didn't come with avocado chutney and yak milk.
😂😂😂😂
Dehydrated water next. Very simple just as water
Ha-ha!
This is eggcellent, thank you for cheering up a wet Tuesday! 🤣Seriously, it is so quick and easy to poach eggs that I don’t know why anyone would buy them, and then still have to microwave them.

@@raymcdonald6734 thank you, she is as tough as old boots, bless her. 🙂
That's probably true but the hard part would be doing toast just right & opening the bleeding top on the brown sauce.
Yes, any time there’s a product like this it’s usually designed for people who are less abled. Stuff like chopped onions or peeled potatoes and so on... they’re really good for people who would struggle otherwise. Good on Marks!
Have you tried their breakfasts? They do a veggie and meat version with a poached egg, beans, etc. Very tasty, surprisingly good!
You just beat your quote of the year so far! “Perfectly poached eggs…. Halogens… Egg” 🤣
Allergen!
If they sold this in France it would only contain 1 egg
because 1 egg is an oeuf
Boom boom
Handy for old people, what a good idea.
Yes especially if they can't lift a pan of water due to frail hands, they do look good
No,they can scald themselves getting the eggs out instead.
I know someone who gets them for a relative who suffers with dementia and is not allowed to use the cooker for safety reasons. These are ideal for her.
I feel the basically boiling water surrounding the eggs that could splash everywhere when peeling open the packet might be an issue still
@@MrGreenYeti not so far, there have been no accidents.
Thank you so much! I was stuck at lunchtime for something healthy and nutricious to eat so I did my own 2 poached eggs on toasted wholemeal bread. Tasty and I think that's good for 60p including the bread and butter. 👍 Magic.

Yes, thanks
Just not at £2 for two eggs 🍳 they need to be far far cheaper
Fantastic idea I'm just off to buy my first microwave. Shit no money just bought 3 dozen eggs from M&S.

@@mark-andrews It’s easy to scoff but for with people with disabilities- blind, arthritis etc and the elderly,prepared fresh food is a Godsend. Pity it’s all so expensive though.

Love your channel,bought poached eggs on your say so.Blew up in microwave after 30 seconds,m&s gave me my money back.😅😅
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, but I have to hand it to M&S they always deliver, I think these are amazing if you can’t poach an egg lol loved this Thanks Gaz ❤❤
You're welcome 😊
Thing is this works if you work in an office for example and this is your lunch. It works out quite cheap for a work type lunch.
you can easily poach your own eggs at work in a microwave with a cup of water though.
I can just imagine the line up behind the egg poacher😂🇨🇦
@@Scottishcanary yeah nobody is bringing in eggs to work or buying them and having to take some home with them!
@@phantomthread4385 I'd prefer to take eggs in to work rather than pay £2. And I have done that a few times.
Stokes ketchup is good too! Those eggs have such a lovely yellow yolk.
we use some special bags called "Poaches" for ours - work brilliantly
Expensive but I once came across them on a holiday in Wales once...very handy for a small caravan. Not much worse than microwave rice to me.
There's an old school 4 egg poacher from Asda at the min for £5 .. and it triples as a poacher / frying pan / small pan with lid ... And perfect poached eggs evertime for the time it takes to do your toast .. peace
A tab system And a seal mechanism is the same video. Living the dream

I thought these companies are supposed to be using less plastic. This is ridiculous

Stokes fan, right on. Only place I found it was when we go to Center Parcs and they sell it in the Parc Market
Is top drawer isn't it
Same price as 6 very large fresh eggs from Tesco. I would suggest that if you can't poach eggs then probably give power tools a miss and under no circumstances go near firearms.
😂, you can get them pan poachers 4 eggs sections ! Fool proof .
Poached eggs in a box. I'm blown away.
I don't want to egg you on and enough of the yolks but eggcellent tongue in cheek review Gareth 😂👍
Haha cheers
It was a bit expensive for a couple of eggs, but I agree with you completely with the excellent Stokes Brown Sauce! Thanks for sharing 😊

To be fair I usually struggle with poached eggs so I suppose they serve a purpose. Expensive though. Thanks for reviewing Gaz.

Yes I like the idea. You put your toast on and in 3 minutes the toast is ready, on the last minute you put the pre cooked egg in the microwave. OR
You put a fresh egg on the boil at the same time as you put your toast on and they are both ready at the same time. 🥚🍳
Microwaved poached eggs had to stand for two minutes so if done your way the toast would be cold
I think it's really good that they warned people about the allergens being egg as some people are allergic to them
Well salted peanuts packets mention they contain nuts and cheese that it contains milk so covering themselves.
Looked very appealing but a bit expensive to have on a regular basis .Another great review .I’ll have a look for the sauce 😊

Well Gareth, I did have a really good laugh 😂 I have seen it all now poached eggs to buy what a total & utter rip-off £2.00 no way my goodness shops are really out to get you anyway they can …… Thanks for sharing 👍✨
Glad you enjoyed it
Will try them... Thank You.
Hope you enjoy
Nice to to see your Eggtastic vlog gareth it seems you had a yolk of a time eating those..
Just mention organic free range eggs work out at 80p per egg in asda
See you on your next vlog
Cheers Paul
I do poached eggs in a frying pan like you'd do a fried egg ..water (half inch or so ) ,salt and vinegar...flip the boilling water over the egg with a spatula etc...drain the water but guard the poached egg with the spatula as you don't want it falling in the sink .
U cant go wrong with M&S food. Bit pricey but quality food and no waste.
Gobsmacked..... but I can understand there would be a market out there.... Personally I like my old worn egg poaching pan.... Try other methods as I might (did them in microwave while I was rushing about in morning to get to work) I return to the old pan.... Thank you for reviewing this little bit of luxury with us... They could add in some smoked salmon and a good sachet of Hollandaise, charge a fortune but be a bit more luxurious!!! .... Right now it's lunch time... Therefore home made soup and a bread roll, glass of milk.... My idea of luxury!!!
Madness, absolute madness.
Its ideal for older and or vulnerable people etc.
Cracking idea.
Why oh why!! It makes me laugh at some of the ideas supermarket development teams think off, I can see the advert now,' these are no ordinary eggs these are M & S perfectly poached eggs'😅
Top man what a good channel you have a great personality 😊
I appreciate that!
Foot note to Stokes Sauces and there other products. Have tried most of what they on offer being me. Never had a bad one yet. The Brown Sauce is really the best one out there for certain. Put it on your Fish and Chips or a nice crispy Streaky Bacon Sandwich.
As you say, what will they think of next! Great vid as per Sir. Have to say re Stokes, their tomato ketchup is superb.
So good
Hi there
Just found your channel and have liked and are following you
I just wanted to ask you where you bought your AirFryer Grill please?
I have just bought one in a similar shape but it is noisy
I also bought a Microwave and that is also noisy
That is what you get for wanting a particular colour 🙉
Anyways all the best and keep keeping us all informed
off Amazon, all the best and thank you.
The missus got me soft yolk scotch eggs a couple of weeks ago. Maybe Morrisons. Very nice anyway.
You’re a good egg for finding & trying them
Haha 👍
