Poached Egg Tips Recipes
PERFECT POACHED EGG
I'm like many others when it comes to ordering breakfast at a restaurant. That's when I often order a poached egg. Many are intimidated to poach an egg at home. There are a few key tips that will head you in the right direction, and you'll be on your way to perfect home-poached eggs.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with at least 3 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce temperature to low--the water is ready when you see bubbles at the bottom of the pot, but there should be no bubbles breaking the surface of the water.
- Crack egg into a small-mesh sieve, allow it to drain, and then transfer the egg to a small bowl or ramekin in order to avoid a runny egg white. This step will give you a better-shaped poached egg with tighter whites.
- When water is at the right temperature, stir in about 1 tablespoon white vinegar which helps the egg white coagulate. Using a spoon, swirl the water in the center of the pot into a vortex or whirlpool, and carefully add egg to the center. Cook until egg white is set, but the yolk is still soft and runny, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook.
- Transfer the egg to a paper towel to remove excess water using a slotted spoon. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat the water: Add enough water to come 1 inch up the side of a narrow, deep 2-quart saucier. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons white vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, crack 1 very fresh cold large egg into a custard cup or small ramekin. Use the handle of a spatula or spoon to quickly stir the water in one direction until it's all smoothly spinning around.
- TIP: Use this whirlpool method when poaching a single serving (one or two eggs). For bigger batches, heat the water, salt and vinegar in a 12-inch nonstick skillet and do not stir.
- Add the egg: Carefully drop the egg into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water will help prevent the white from "feathering," or spreading out in the pan.
- Let it poach: Turn off the heat, cover the pan and set your timer for 5 minutes. Don't peek, poke, stir or accost the egg in any way.
- Lift it out: Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Alternatively, move the egg to an ice bath and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Reheat in warm water just before serving.

7 TIPS FOR PERFECT POACHED EGGS - GETTYSTEWART.COM

- Use Fresh Eggs Only. If you start with the freshest eggs you can get, making great poached eggs is almost foolproof. When you’re at the grocery store reach for the eggs at the back of the cooler to get the newest stock!
- Simmer, Don’t Boil. The temperature of your water is important for keeping your egg whites tender. A full boil will lead to tough, rubbery egg whites. I like to bring the water to a boil and then turn it down low so there are barely any bubbles visible.
- NO Salt. Don’t add salt to the poaching water. Salt actually breaks up the egg whites and makes them want to go their own way – the exact opposite of what you want.
- Create a Gentle Swirl. Give the egg white a push in the right direction by stirring the almost boiling water into a mini whirlpool. You don’t need a major whirlpool, just a gentle swirl that will help the egg white tuck around the yolk.
- Ease the Egg into the Water. You’re not dropping a bomb – be gentle. Break the egg into a custard cup, lower it into the water and let the egg slide gently into the swirl.
