    Raised on a farm, we have fried eggs. I never had a poached egg. Here I am at 11:30 at night, come across you video and think I got to try it. Being we get about 35 eggs a day. I had a few eggs only hours old! 1145 I poach 2 eggs, Delicious! This is definitely top of the menu now in the mornings, or a midnight snack😂

      Fried eggs are so good, I love crisping up the edges of the white and still have a runny yolk. But when it comes to Eggs Benedict poached eggs are the way. I bet your beautiful farm fresh eggs were perfect for this. 🙂

    discovered the ladle method a few months ago, brushing the ladle with some olive or veg oil, parcook it for literally 10 seconds, then dump the egg in. works every time and looks perfect!

      Crack 1 egg into a shallow cup filled with cold water so that the water is a finger level above the egg. Add a pinch of salt. Microwave for 1 minute (approximately). Done. Sorry to be a spoil-sport but this is not rocket science.

    Since learning to poach eggs, I generally have it for breakfast daily. It is a good reminder to have a time frame for the egg to cook. I don't usually vortex because I do two at a time, but it does look much better - using the vortex method, that is.

Now I'm back to following you again and enjoying your recipes as I adapt them to being gluten free. This video was easy as making the egg needed no adjusting, I just need to put my egg on a gf piece of bread or english muffin. I am so happy to be back enjoying your videos!

    Try this. Get a small bowl, and some saran wrap. Lay the saran wrap in the bowl, add your egg, and then lift up the saran wrap around it. Hold it there with a clothes pin or elastic band. Toss that in the water. You can also spray the saran wrap with some cooking oil. You get a very decent shape and no lost bits of egg.

    First, I didn't use a deep enough pot, so I didn't get a really deep vortex and my eggs were not the best looking, even though they still tasted great. I'll do better next time!
    My questions is: does egg temperature matter? Should I put the eggs in cold or let them warm up a bit before poaching them? Thank you for the video!

    You don't really need vinegar, you're right. Once you've poached a few eggs it becomes so easy. I actually use more water than that and create bigger whirlpool.
    I also watch it, vs. time it. The slotted spoon is key - I'll ease that under when I'm sure it's close and it allows me to lift and look and slowly put back in until it's fully cooked. I also have some paper towel where I'll leave my slotted spoon for a minute to let the water drain off.
    I usually only make 1-2... so I have no tips on mass production lol!
