Directions
Perfect Poached Eggs, Serve on buttered toast for a regular Sunday breakfast or make Eggs Benedict or Eggs Florentine for a special occasion! The eggs should be cold & as fresh as possible , Heres a little trick that Ive been using for decades; personally and professionally I crack each egg into a small, heat proof, condiment cup I then wet a fine mesh strainer and gently lower one egg into the strainer, gently swirling the strainer until all of the water and, for lack of a better term, snotty albumen has passed through the strainer Then gently return the egg to the cup and repeat the process with the remaining eggs; rinsing the strainer between each egg Then into a pan with gently simmering and swirling water, give a good splash of vinegar Then lower each egg into the water I take two slotted spoons and gently rotate each egg, half way through the cooking time, so theyre cooked evenly BTW, the vinegar is important By lowering the pH (Raising the acidity), it actually lowers the temperature required for the egg whites to coagulate , Ive always made mine like this Swirling the water is far more important than the vinegar The swirling forces the whites back onto themselves instead of spraeding out and turning frothy you really dont need to do both
