I thought this was a new criminal enterprise

Me too!

I've poached eggs using tin cans (remove both ends) before now. But like some of the others have said, you can also crack them straight into gently boiling water with a little bit of vinegar added. If you practice, you can even crack them into gently boiling water without vinegar added - you have to give the water a stir and get a little vortex going first...I've never succeeded with this method.

To poach an egg

Borrow some eggs
In a mid sized saucepan bring to boil a fair quantity of water (about two inches deep) to which a large dash of vinegar has been added
Crack the egg into a bowl.
When the water is at a rolling boil slide the egg into the water and tilt the pan to one side for 20- 30 seconds so the egg sits at the lowest point whilst still on the heat. Turn down the heat until the waters is just simmering.
Swirl the pan for half a minute or so, so that the egg does not stick. Using this method it is possible to have 4 eggs poaching at anyone time. Using a slotted spoon lift of any froth that forms. Using slotted spoon lift out eggs one at a time

I’ve being using this method for 30 years and it has never failed
