The secret to making great poached eggs.
  • Add water to a sauce pan, fill up to about 10 cm
  • Add 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt
  • Bring the water to a boil, then let it simmer at medium heat
  • Before dropping in an egg, make a swirl in the water by stirring it around
  • Break every egg into a cup, then pour the egg directly into the middle of the swirl
  • Leave it in for 3 minutes, then fish out the egg with a big spoon with holes in it. Leave it on a paper towel to dry off the water

Only do one egg at a time, add more sauce pans for true poached egg multi-tasking.
