About Me
- burekaboy —
- a canadian, food-obsessed guy who loves to research, read, write and talk about all things culinary. well, most of the time • collecting recipes, clippings and cookbooks as well as kitchen paraphernalia has long been an 'illness'. blogging about it is my cheap version of therapy • many of the recipes & foods i include may relate to jewish cuisine but my goal is not to maintain a blog which solely focuses on that aspect. so .... no pork, shellfish or mixed meat & dairy here but a myriad of otherwise just as delicious & mouth-watering recipes and information about what enters our gullets • apart from the comestible, posts often include bytes of other interesting finds, quite unrelated to the world of food — a latest earth-shattering or just curious news event, music, humour, the internet, our non-human counterparts & the other oddities of our world will sometimes be featured in the spotlight.

I would never in a million years have guessed that - The design was way too cutesy - but, I really like them! Very cute - you could probably poach quenelles and other stuff in them... very nice. Do you have a set? If yes, how do they work??
i also didn't have any clue initially. i had first seen them in some magazine and thought they were just plain strange. don't know how well they work as i do not own a set. i imagine they work well in poaching all kinds of delicate things such as quenelles, etc. i don't know if i'd ever buy something like this however.
apparently, the old fashioned plain egg poaching "device" is metal and oval also but with a long straight and thin metal handle. i would venture to say this is the redesigned modern version. what's wrong with the plain old simmering water technique, i ask!?
