Making poached eggs is simple. All you need is eggs, vinegar, and water. This tutorial for How To Make Poached Eggs is a foolproof method that yields perfect results every time.
Boil water in a large pot, then lower the heat so the water is just bubbling.
Add the vinegar to the water.
PREP EGGS:
Crack your eggs into individual cups or small bowls so they're ready to pour into the water.
POACH EGGS:
Using a slotted spoon, stir the water in a large circular motion. You want to create a water tornado.
Add the egg to the center of the pot. Gently stir the water to keep the water moving in a circular motion. This will wrap the egg white around itself, so the egg stays together as it cooks.
Cook the eggs for 2½ to 3 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.
SERVE:
You can place them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process or serve them immediately.
REPEAT:
Repeat the poaching process with the other egg.
Notes
Use a fine mesh strainer to separate thin egg whites from older eggs before cooking.
