First up, the waffles. You’ll need either a waffle maker or a silicone waffle mould. If you’re using a silicone mould then they’ll take about 30 minutes, whereas a waffle maker will take around 10 minutes.
We use this waffle maker by JMPosner as it’s cheap, easy to clean and gets the job done – no leaking and no waiting ages for it to heat up!
If you’d prefer then you can also use a silicone waffle mould. They’re super cheap, but do take longer in the oven.
If you’re worried about poaching eggs, then don’t be! We use silicone egg poachers. They’re the easiest way to make the perfect poached egg and they’re dead easy to clean too.
