I honestly just carefully crack an egg or two at a time into a deep pan or small pot with boiling water. I don't add vinegar or strain anything. They came out perfect
Went and tried it, and Everything Dr Chill says here is legit egg will begin to dance perfect poached eggs every time. No vinegar necessary. Thanks for sharing this Doc..
Life changing tutorial!! Many a breakfast spoilt by disastrous poached egg.But now thanks to you those dark days are over .Brilliant results everytime.
The sieve idea is clever and worked for me. I found the water boil is best exactly how you do it with a very gentle, gentle rolling boil. When the egg float they are generally done. Thanks for the tips.
WOAH no one has ever told me to sieve the egg but dude... I just made the best poaches eggs of my life with like no hassle THANK YOU SO MUCH also little tip for other people I pick my eggs out of the pan using a slotted spoon so I can get rid of the water and go straight onto toast
Thank you I did do the vinegar but you showed me that my pot was not deep enough so hence why mine were hit and miss and thanks for explaining about putting the eggs into the sieve Xx
Wow, so many useful tips in 4 minutes. I have been poaching eggs for years in a pan without other fancy utensils. Little did I know that it could be even easier. Amazing, thank you!
Perfect. Definitely the best poached eggs I've seen on any TH-cam video. For some reason I found Apple Cider Vinegar works best. I also use a large ladle with small holes to drain the watery white and then to retrieve the cooked eggs.
Love poached eggs but always thought them a hassle...til now! Never thought about straining the eggs beforehand. Now I can see into the water and how they're cooked. And I thought it had to be stirred constantly to prevent sticking to the bottom and breaking the yolks. Wrong again! Love short, to-the-point videos...good job.
If you refrigerate the eggs you don't have to do the seive prior. And if you stir the water prior to dropping in the egg the swirling will help hold the shape even more.
What I love and have never been able to find on YT or anywhere else, is the Gourmet method making the egg into a fluttery like shape like a cloud in the sky. I heard that high end chefs can do that artistically by swirling the whole egg (all the white included) in the water and then ever so gently, capturing the whole beauty. I saw an episode of Bob Newhart where Emily was serving these lovely huge white clouds from a French brass chaffing dish (she was always cooking Gourmet dinners on that show) and she had a large brass spoon by which she was scooping them out onto plates and serving folks their breakfast dishes. I was soooo impressed. But I have never been able to get them to come out that way. I love your method here and appreciate this video!
we are soul mates .. lol ... LIQUID GOLD :) grew up eating poached eggs on toast with my grandpa -- I too can cook perfect poached eggs. The white done - no longer clear or too jiggly and the yoke hot and runny .. YUM. I know I eat way too many eggs. In our house it was always when in doubt of what to fix / eat -- have some eggs. Great video.
Thanks for this, i really appreciate that you explained the best way and why, I ALWAYS put salt in cause that how nana said to do it but after watching this I now know where we were going wrong! Cap or vinegar instead of a pinch of salt made a MASSIVE difference, thank you soo much!
I love this technique. My least favorite part of an egg is the white, so the more you can remove, the better. I'd probably still cut away a little of the white off of each egg before consuming. Thanks for posting this!!
Splendid touch, using the sieve! The way these eggs come out is just perfect. I am regarded as a weirdo by my family because I am the only one who likes poached eggs. But they'll convert one day. Thanks for the tip-off!
It is for making sure that the egg 'flakes' less in the pan. I don't do it and do not consider it mandatory if you strain the eggs. But it can help a lot.
Thanks 👍 Iam going to try your way of doing poached eggs straining the egg sounds like a good idea. What do you think about poaching eggs in microwave??
They turned out perfectly cooked, but my problem has always been how to tell when they are just right. Checking the white seems a little hit and miss, or does that system work?
Loved the vid. and the ever so simple instruction ❗❗👍🏼🙌🏼🥰 Did you just eat all those beautifully perfect poached eggs at once? 🤭🐣Lol! Thanks for sharing with all of us hungry folks in TH-cam Land❗❗💖🐓
Hi Dr Chill .. tQ for your fantastic video on making poached eggs. Simple but spot on. I believe the success is due to the straining of the water in the initial stage .. I'm off to the kitchen .. tQ from Malaysia.
Yes,i've Poached eggs many,many times,but i can see the Strainer is the Key..And i saw a Chinese cook do the same& i couldn't remember what trick they pulled,so Ty..
Please, how do you make the dressing for devilled eggs that you pour on? I started looking for a small sieve the minute I saw this, because I love poached eggs and you made four "tassle free" eggs in such a short time.
Good video. I have tried the seive method myself once and the whole of the egg white went through leaving just the yolk. So I abandoned that idea as it didnt work for me. Could it be that my egg was just too old or something? I'll give it another try to see what happens. Cheers Dr Chill.
This looks great! But why is it that every other tutorial wants you to create a whirlpool in the water? Does it actually affect taste? Or is the swirling simply to wrap the wispies around the yolk(in which case it makes sense to me that you didn't swirl the water).
yeah the whirlpool is supposed to keep things together. people will also add vinegar and other things. just straining the egg is all you need to do. the remaining from the strainer can be used for coating chicken or shrimp with potato starch for a nice breading.
Thank you! I'm going to try your method the next time I make poached eggs. Btw.... is your plate from one of The Pioneer Woman collections? I recognize the design.
Thank you for not wasting my time and using 30 million different types of kitchen utensils I don't have.
I honestly just carefully crack an egg or two at a time into a deep pan or small pot with boiling water. I don't add vinegar or strain anything. They came out perfect
Great so you are lazy.
What else could anybody use? It’s poached eggs 🤷🏿♂️
Then use an egg poacher. You probably don't have that either?
You can literally buy a strainer/sieve at the dollar store. Do you not have bowls, a pot, or a large spoon either? 🤷🏾♀️
This is the only tutorial about poaching eggs that has been really useful for me. Thanks so much.
Ditto
Odd i found the one by food network very helpful

Yes I was surprised that he used a ladle instead of a slotted spoon to remove the eggs. it just seems like common sense.
@@el7jake Common sense will tell you that common sense is not universal.
I’ve made poached eggs before but never heard about straining them the remove excess watery whites. My poached eggs were picture perfect, thanks!!!
Thank you I did do the vinegar but you showed me that my pot was not deep enough so hence why mine were hit and miss and thanks for explaining about putting the eggs into the sieve Xx
This is interesting to try thank you for sharing friend. 👍
Just tried using a sieve after following lots of other tutorials. It works perfectly 👌
I followed all your steps, and made 6. They turned out perfect! ALL SIX !
Thank you so much! Love to all from 🇬🇧
Wow, so many useful tips in 4 minutes. I have been poaching eggs for years in a pan without other fancy utensils. Little did I know that it could be even easier. Amazing, thank you!
You are so welcome!
Watched a few poached eggs videos and yours is the best! You are straight to the point and your eggs look amazing! Thank you! 😊
Gordon Ramsay still has the Perfect way.. but this is good too.
His eggs? 🤔
@@TowMater603 Gordon who?
@@nairobi203 uhhhh Ramsay. How can you NOT know Who Gordon Ramsay is ? really ?
@@TowMater603 he is a psycho.
I love poached eggs and this is the best advice I have ever seen on how to do it. Thank you.
Using a slotted spoon will help to drain off most of the water when removing the eggs from the pan.
Perfect. Definitely the best poached eggs I've seen on any TH-cam video. For some reason I found Apple Cider Vinegar works best. I also use a large ladle with small holes to drain the watery white and then to retrieve the cooked eggs.
That's a very nice table.
I forgot to mention that this is the best instruction for making perfect poached eggs
Awesome!!!
Thanks, seen so many. Yours is the simplest and quickest.
And the BEST results!

Thank you for showing me how to make perfect poached eggs
I have a 100 year old egg poacher but it’s messy to use. You’re technique is much easier! Thank you!
poached eggs , Spam , and toast.
Perfect
SPAM!!!!!!! you should be having smoked salmon😁
@@iangraham9344 I love Spam with my eggs.
Salmon is for dinner. lol
Same method chef's, been using for hundreds of years. Tip: use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs, save you a couple steps. Good video.
we are soul mates .. lol ... LIQUID GOLD :) grew up eating poached eggs on toast with my grandpa -- I too can cook perfect poached eggs. The white done - no longer clear or too jiggly and the yoke hot and runny .. YUM. I know I eat way too many eggs. In our house it was always when in doubt of what to fix / eat -- have some eggs.

I am the same. I can eat some white but not all.
Quick and easy video. Love it
Just tried it & it works a treat! Cheers bro 😀
Watched several vedios , eggs didnt come properly but your method is the best. Thank you.
Splendid touch, using the sieve! The way these eggs come out is just perfect. I am regarded as a weirdo by my family because I am the only one who likes poached eggs. But they'll convert one day. Thanks for the tip-off!
How odd to see poached as weird. It’s like a healthier and classy alternative to sunny-side up!
finally one without using non stick pan. dude you're a master.
Who puts their egg in an ice bath. Then you've got cold egg!
I just used this method ... Best poached eggs on toast of my life, yum 😋 . Cheers 👍
Love poached eggs...mmmmm so tasty...gonna try your way...need eggs now!!!! Nom nom!!😁 thanks for sharing..xx
What's the vinegar function ?? Is it for the taste or for a better cooking of the egg itself ?
It is for making sure that the egg 'flakes' less in the pan. I don't do it and do not consider it mandatory if you strain the eggs. But it can help a lot.
Thanks 👍 Iam going to try your way of doing poached eggs straining the egg sounds like a good idea.
What do you think about poaching eggs in microwave??
Excellent methodology - works perfectly! I like that one doesn't need a poacher that is extremely hard to clean. Thank you!
Wahhh..easy way..thank you for sharing.🇸🇬
OK.
I officially invite myself for breakfast 🤓🤓🤓
They turned out perfectly cooked, but my problem has always been how to tell when they are just right. Checking the white seems a little hit and miss, or does that system work?
3 minutes is the perfect cook time
This is a perfectly simple demonstration of poaching eggs ... I did drill some holes in my ladle to drain the water, works great.
Loved the vid. and the ever so simple instruction ❗❗👍🏼🙌🏼🥰
Did you just eat all those beautifully perfect poached eggs at once? 🤭🐣Lol!
Thanks for sharing with all of us hungry folks in TH-cam Land❗❗💖🐓
Finally I made 2 perfect poched eggs after your video !!!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Great video, thanks Dr. Chill.
👍 Concise and informative, great video!
So how long do you leave them in the water for? I get watching them to see when they are bouncing...but how long approx? Thanks
Ca. 3 minutes, maximum.
Thanks willow brook!😎
Nice preparation
And that's why we love poached eggs to sop it all up with the toast 😋😍
How long do you cook them for?
Wow thanks i made perfect pouched eggs.
How long do they stay in the water before taking them out?
Good preparation
Dude! Totally just wanted to make poached eggs and now I’m a fan. Thanks for teaching me how to cook lol.
Nice and simply explained. Thanks.
Great Poching Egg Technique
Hi Dr Chill .. tQ for your fantastic video on making poached eggs. Simple but spot on. I believe the success is due to the straining of the water in the initial stage ..

Legendary.
Thank you!
Do you put oil in the water?? Thanks for the video! It looks so much easier than I thought 👌🏼
Cheers Dr.Chill, concise and proper as always! Much appreciated bud !
This acually works! Even with some older eggs! thx for the tip!
I always boil my eggs when I get a fresh dozen.
Not the fresh ones.
I don't poach eggs, I only hunt when it's open season. #Conservation
That joke was so rotten that I laughed 😂👍
Oh damn rob you made me crack my shell😂🤣
YUM and then some..I'll try it this way in the morning..
Great instructional video. My mouth is watering and stomach growling. Thank you.
How many eggs did you have to go through to end up with the subset used in the "After" shots?
Success! Even got compliments. Thanks a bunch for making the task doable abd approachable 😊
Yes a wonderful tip for poaching eggs
Sending you a good thought
Thank you for the video.Use a slotted spoon and have the water simmer it makes the white more silky
Dr thanks for guide us for healthy way to cook eggs.
Yeah, but approximately how long do you cook them for?
My mouth is watering those eggs looked perfect!
Thank you, I didn’t know the trick with the sieve🤔... I’ll try it!🍷🍷
Our favorite restaurant makes perfect poached. I finally made mine just like theirs thanks to you!
Good video. I have tried the seive method myself once and the whole of the egg white went through leaving just the yolk. So I abandoned that idea as it didnt work for me. Could it be that my egg was just too old or something? I'll give it another try to see what happens. Cheers Dr Chill.
Hi everyone, simple and not at all complicated, testimony of your talent. Best wishes of Algeria.
Oh my gosh, this helped me so much! Thank you
My favourite way to eat eggs and yet I've never been able to make a decent poached egg before. I'll have to try this.
This looks great! But why is it that every other tutorial wants you to create a whirlpool in the water? Does it actually affect taste? Or is the swirling simply to wrap the wispies around the yolk(in which case it makes sense to me that you didn't swirl the water).

@@Cookingwithdrchill I see! Thanks for the clarification 👍🏽
Why don't you use a slotted spoon when you remove them from the saucepan?
That's awesome. Ill try these on my avocado smeared toast. That is my favorite breakfast but my poached eggs don't always come out great.
Never heard of that strainer trick. Gonna try that tomorrow for breakfast :) Thanks!
They turned out great. A slotted spoon works good for removal.
3 minutes per egg. Perfect every time.
I’ve been looking for the timing thank you so much for adding this!
@@ValerieVitality no! 3mins are wayyy to much! Even 2is too much
Wait! How long do leave the eggs in the water for?!
My guy !!! Awesome work, great explanation and loved the ending. God bless and keep up the good work
Best way I've ever seen.. Honestly better than all the top chefs videos 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you! I'm going to try your method the next time I make poached eggs. Btw.... is your plate from one of The Pioneer Woman collections? I recognize the design.
i think i got it at walmart
Omg... this is a way easier method! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for teaching us ... But how to make eggs tasty, please also guide us
So no vortex before placing them in pot? And how long for each egg? Liked & Subbed
