Disclaimer

The decision to consume raw or undercooked eggs is totally your responsibility (including all potential health consequences), which I am not responsible for. Note that undercooked eggs are not recommended for infants, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with a compromised immune system. To prevent undercooked eating eggs, avoid any kind of egg prepared with a partially or fully runny yolk. To avoid the risk of salmonella, use pasteurized eggs only.

1. Preparation:

Poached Egg 1Poached Egg 2

1.1.

Crack the egg and gently place it into a small bowl (each egg into individual bowls), and make sure that the yolk doesn’t break.

1.2.

Bring about 3 QT of water with ¼ Cup of vinegar to a poaching temperature, similar to a light simmer, but not boiling. Make sure that the temperature is around 190°F.

1.3.

Create a whirlpool with a wooden spoon.

1.4.

Pour each egg from the bowl into the whirlpool – one by one. I would recommend cooking eggs in batches (at most 3 at a time) to be able to provide them with the required attention.

1.5.

Cook until the white gets cooked and is compact (about 4 minutes).

1.6.

When done, carefully remove to a paper towel using a small strainer or spoon with holes.


There is a shortcut for poaching eggs: you can purchase an electric poaching pan that poaches multiple eggs at once.
