Basic kitchen skills how to poach an egg

I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking to learn new skills that make life easy in the kitchen. Sharing is caring so I’m sharing my little tips, tricks and hacks with you.

When you talk about making poached eggs lots of people think poaching eggs is impossible to get right; some count it in the same category as higher-level mathematics.
I can understand why most people believe that poached eggs are difficult, there are so many different methods out there, with vinegar, without, boiling water, simmering water and the whirlpool method, and it’s a little overwhelming. 

I’ve tried every method out there, and after lots of trials and plenty of error, I’ve found a way to get consistently good poached eggs. Most weekends I have to poach 6 eggs at the same time, and they all need to have a solid white and runny yolk. 

I’ve found that the secret to success is a frying pan here is the method is how I get good poached eggs every time. 

Here is what you need 

• Frying pan 
• Water 
• Slotted Spoon 
• Eggs

What to do

Take large frying pan.

Fill the frying pan with about 3cm of water, this will depend on the depth of your pan; make sure there is space for the eggs. 

Bring the water to the boil 

Once the water is at a rolling boil, turn off the heat. 

Crack the egg and drop it into the water from just above the surface of the water. 

If you have trouble keeping the egg intact, crack the egg into a small bowl or ramekin and use that to pour the egg into the water. 

Once you have your eggs in the water, leave them alone until the white is set. 

Use the slotted spoon to remove the egg from the water 

Serve 

As simple as that
