    I have a wife for that stuff and she is excellent in the kitchen.

    We have a deal, I stay out of the kitchen and she stays out of the garage.

    FYI after she is done all her Cooking or Baking I clean everything up.

    *note she does NOT clean my garage.

    My wife and I have a deal too, I cook, she cleans.

    Though sometimes she cleans things before I'm done using them.

    I have the same. I was surprised, though, that the eggs don't always come out cleanly. A little olive oil on the silicone solves that minor problem.

    Alton Brown is a smart cookie but even vinegar and swirling the water doesn't work well enough for me. I lose more egg than I like and the water ends up milky with it by the time I've done just a couple eggs. Maybe I just need to practice more but since those poach pods work so well that's not gonna happen. :D

    Yep, I spray mine with a little canola oil before I break the egg into it. Slides out perfectly every time.
