I'm a huge fan of the PoachPods we featured back in 2008, so I'm intrigued by the new Food Pod. The strange yellow basket clips to the side of your pan and allows you to boil, blanch and steam. Originally designed for boiling eggs, the silicone cradles your eggs protecting them from bouncing into the pan or each other. And when it's done cooking you can just lift the Food Pod from the pan, with no need to chase things around with a spoon. Big enough to hold a dozen eggs, the basket can also be used for vegetables or even shellfish. An intriguing new gadget from the makers of the Poach Pod, the Food Pod is £9.99 from Lakeland.
