Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Poached egglets tip:

Heat water until those bubbles make a dash for the surface.

• Place uncracked egg into hot water for five or so secs.One might regard this as a pre-cook dunking.Aids smooth gathering uponiteslf.
  
  

Remove swiftly with a suitable implement.

Crack egg and slip gently into heated liquid [close proximity to surface advisable] and poach away.

If one is a stirrer,it's worth reducing vortex velocity a tad.

Boiling water + cold egg (because eggs are kept in the fridge) = Instant cracked shell.
Your advice is no good, Sebastian.
Thanks anyway.
