Abstract: Described herein is a cooking device primarily for making poached eggs. The invention is a floating cup member with a finned structure and slot openings located on the underside of the cup to create a rotation in boiling water while an egg is being cooked by the boiling water flowing over and around the egg. The cup member's rotation promotes hot water circulation within the cup to properly poach an egg, while the structure of the cup keeps the egg white intact and prevents it from seeping into the cooking water.

Abstract: A hair retention device for forming a bun or curls in a person's hair is provided that is comprised of a cylindrical roll made of a mesh material. The cylindrical roll contains one or more strips of a material that are placed around the circumference of the roll and that grip a person's hair. The strips of material can be made of any material that can grip a person's hair and hold in place without causing serious discomfort to the user. Examples of the material include Velcro plastic, rubber, metal, silicone and the like. The ends of the cylindrical roll contain an attachment device that allows the ends of the cylindrical roll to attach together to form a circle or ring-like structure. The hair retention device can also include an elastic cord that can run internally in the hair retention device and the length of the cylindrical roll. The elastic cord can be used to synch the ring-like structure to a desired tightness, thus creating a bun with a desired circumference.
