1. Fill a small saucepan with water and set to boil.
2. Place your cling wrap on top of ramekin (or any other holder like cup, etc)
3. Grease your cling wrap with some oil slightly
4. Break egg into cling wrap
5. Wrap the egg by gathering up the edges of the cling wrap twisting it and making sure that you have the egg enclosed well
6. Carefully place your egg in the simmering water.
 ***If you like your egg to be a bit runny or soft boiled, poach it for 4.5- 5 minutes (assuming eggs are cold from the fridge or else 3.5-4 minutes if they are from room temperature).
7. Take your egg out of the water and enjoy your poached eggs =)
