Teflon Pan Giveaway and Semi-Poached Eggs
May 12, 2010|Comments (18)
In honor of National Egg Month, I am offering the ultimate egg-making pan giveaway, (Sorry! Time’s up.) folks! This also means that I fully intend to overwhelm you with eggy recipes which will steal your heart, melt in your mouth, and all the other cliches that I can’t think of right now. First up? My semi-poached eggs.
Just so we’re clear, I do know how to properly poach eggs. I also know how to properly fry eggs. However, I am a rebel to my very core and so I combine the two in order to make semi-poached eggs. *insert cheering crowds here*
Since we are often drowning in eggs (thanks to our very own overachieving hens), I serve semi-poached eggs almost daily. Josh usually eats six eggs a day and prefers them to be semi-poached. While I used to make semi-poached eggs in a cast iron skillet, I use my nifty Teflon pan now and I am never going back. Even though my cast iron skillet is well-seasoned and virtually nonstick — eggs are like kryptonite on cast iron. I used lots of oil to keep the eggs from sticking. With my trusty new Teflon pan, I need no oil or melted butter.
I simply crack the eggs into the pan, cook them, and then they slide right out of the pan without any coaxing or pleading or oil.
So how does one semi-poach an egg? Three steps. Are you ready? (Raise your hand if you are now singing Skynyrd’s “Gimme Three Steps”?) *raises both hands*
Step 1: Heat eggs in the skillet. Allow to cook until the whites become firm.
Step 2: Pour water around the edges of the egg. Once it bubbles up, place a glass lid over the skillet.
Step 3: Allow to cook until the eggs are done (this is a judgement call which I leave to you). Remove lid and slide the eggs from the pan. Voila!
Now, with a little salt and freshly ground pepper… we have lift off. How do you like your eggs? Slightly runny? A bit firm but some goo in the middle? For me, it depends on what I’m going to be eating the eggs with (bread, tomatoes, etc.).
Your comment on this post is your entry in the giveaway. I’ll select the winner using Random.org — so that it is fair. Oh yes… and I just wanted to point out that this sweet baby was made in America. Winner to be announced on Friday May 14, 2010. Winner announced! Congratulations, Bil!
And a very special thanks to Teflon for making this giveaway possible! You guys are the greatest and I know that I speak for every single one of us when I say: you guys rock like KISS.
Good luck!

Please leave us a comment. We love reading them and feel that they are the best part of the site. Thank you!
wow thanks for the cool pan giveaway
I’ve always enjoyed my eggs a little runny on the inside and with a crisp outer edge. Perfect on a couple pieces of toast with bacon. Yum.
My all time fav is a FRIED (in homemade butter from Sweetums’ cream) EGG SANDWICH … perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
I just gotta say…Josh eats 6 eggs a day? Zoikes!

I like mine just scrambled! I also like them scrambled with shredded cheese in them…whether it’s a “Mexican Blend”, cheddar, pepper jack…so good!
My favorite is fried eggs. I also love omelette and scrambled and hard-boiled, well, I love eggs.
I prefer my eggs scrambled. I cook them a la Paula Deen and put a small amount of butter in them when they’re about half way done, and the butter just makes them SO rich once they’re fully cooked. (OK, I don’t know that Paula Deen does this but I know that woman loves butter, so therefore I refer to this as “Paula Deen style scrambled eggs”.)
Looks like a good piece of equipment. Be nice to add to collection. I LOVE eggs!! Our chickens lay some great ones!!
Please count around me, I am commenting to say I am super excited for more egg recipes- we are swimming in eggs as well- NOT to enter to win the pan:-).
I prefer my eggs in baked goods!! But as a good mommy I make them however the kiddos call out their orders!! Their favorites are scrambled with fresh spinach, onions, sweet peppers, and (of course) topped with a lil sharp cheddar!
It really depends.
Just to eat an egg, I like my eggs scrambled with onion and cheese.
For an egg sandwich, I like the yolk broken.
I am going to try this tonight! This is a great idea.
Would love to also win the pan! Fingers crossed!

What a great idea. I usually cook them in a saucepan. I would love to win the Teflon pan. And made in America is a definite plus.
Thanks for the chance to win. Love your website.

I love this brand of frying pan – I recently just purchased one with a glass lid and I use it almost every day.
We got our first egg from the Bantam!! It’s so cute and special. I can hardly bring myself to eat it.
Could use this pan when frying up my fresh eggs! Interesting post on how you make semi-poached eggs. Will have to give it a try.
We have a small micro farm with 55 free range chickens, so we have the pleasure of just walking out to grab a fresh egg when we want one. We do gather a lot of eggs, so we learned to be creative, and I love your creative idea.
My favorite way type of egg is slightly firm yolk with some gooey-ness to sop up with some bread.
Love eggs….any which way and this is a brilliant giveaway.
Thank you.
