| 380095 | 2005-08-10 11:10:00 | I was going to say supplier, but that may be taken the wrong way. :eek: For the last 6 months i have been looking for a stainless steel egg poacher. inserts stainless as well. I understand there is a place called stevens in wellington somewhere that has these sort of things? i would like a multiple insert stainless egg poacher. the last one i managed to find in chch was $194.00 so i left it there. it is a frypan base, i do not want a plastic, aluminium or any other sort including non stick inserts....we have these and they crap. i want something like this.... www.cooking.com or this www.southernhospitality.co.nz E6!3576!3180&categoryid=7&productid=3113 anybody know who supplies these sort of things? none of my suplliers currently do...at a reasonable cost. please only help wanted, not riddicule on this......... the importance of this product is growing as time pass's by. beetle |

| 380097 | 2005-08-10 12:11:00 | Butler & Gibpat (www.butlergibpat.co.nz) Choice Catering Equipment (www.choice.co.nz) Hardy Trade Supply (www.hardytrade.co.nz) That should get you started beet. There are a few that don't have websites like House of Knives in Petone (04 939 33990. I'm happy to check one or two out for you. Stevens if more into giftware, so you'll have to persuade someone to give it to you if you want one from there. |

They've got something similar in their catalogue, normally $69.99 down to $29.99 until Sunday. www.briscoes.co.nz edit: Just read your post again properly and noticed that you won't consider non-stick inserts. That rules out the product mentioned above. |

| 380099 | 2005-08-10 22:40:00 | beet, are you a trademe user? do a search for "poacher" and a find the result called "quad egg poacher" - which is just want you want. i havent been able to find a fully ss poacher in auckland, only the new non-stick which dont work nearly as well. it seems more likely you'll pick one up in a second-hand shop. |

| 380100 | 2005-08-10 23:27:00 | People have to use a stainless steel insert to poach eggs? Whatever happened to a frying pan of simmering water? I'll assume your doing it for a large number of people in which case I'll shut my trap :xmouth: Edit: Southern Hospitality, Parnell, JafaVille (www.southernhospitality.co.nz) Specifically Here (www.southernhospitality.co.nz 16!3576!2195&categoryid=&productid=3113) Jake The Muss can have all the Taffing eggs he wants :D |

| 380101 | 2005-08-11 00:23:00 | I am not a trade me person,as i dont usually use it, ....but i do have a log in name, from when i had intentions of using the site......but because im not authenticated...havent bought before. i have no record so cannot ask questions...as there is an amway set on trademe, that has a egg poacher a friend found it last night. but the set is too many items when i only want a egg poacher. and its reserve??? is $200.00............. so im stuck. i want to know if she will sell just the egg poacher, and not bid on the whole lot.....but i cant ask. and yes i was considering as a last resort southern hospitality...but its aluminium....and ive checked out all the 2nd hand shops here, more than once. thanxs heaps people im still searching.... beetle |

| 380102 | 2005-08-11 06:05:00 | I've got an old one I'd happily give you, beetle. But it's in Central Otago & is also aluminium- the common material for pots back when it was made, I think. I'm surprised that's still used today for smallish items like this, rather than stainless steel. And I agree. Don't pay big bikkies for something so intrinsically simple. Patience will hopefully pay off... (Curious how no scientific wizard has yet solved the problem of poached eggs sticking to surfaces -even "non stick," irrespective of pot, frypan or designated poacher) Stainless steel does cope best with the old-fashioned scouring needed still. |

| 380103 | 2005-08-11 06:33:00 | The poacher at Briscoes mentioned by Jeremy is stainless steel, even though it is non-stick. I use cooking oil in the egg cups of our old (very old) aluminium poacher to prevent sticking. But more importantly, find that just wiping with a paper towel after use preserves an oiliness in the surface that helps a lot with preventing egg sticking. If they are scrubbed clean, then next time they are used, even if oiled, egg will stick. |
