This ground breaking process for poaching eggs enjoyed some success on the underground egg poaching circuit during the 1970's but never achieved mainstream status."

The water should be stirred gently so the egg can remain at the bottom of the pan and spin gently, not get sucked up by the whirlpool effect caused by the water spinning to quickly. Quoting: Sir France's Beercan ^^^^THIS. Too much swirl will give you an egg comet, which is what you have there. Don't sweat it. Just place it all together on the toast or whatever and eat it. I stop trying the swirl thing, it just complicates the process. Just gently drop it in place and hope for the best. Comes out fine. I recently saw a suggestion of putting the raw egg in a soup ladle, adding a little hot water to the ladle to "set it up," and then gently pour the whole thing into pot of simmering water to complete it. Haven't tried that one yet, though. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 56563724 United States 08/21/2016 09:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just want to mention that true poaching is cooking in liquid. The pans that have those little compartments that hold the egg alone are not really poachers. Rather, those eggs would be called "steamed." It's got to be cooked directly in liquid to be called "poached." And they taste different. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 72804983 United States 08/21/2016 09:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Are you all retarded?the most important part is the amount of time in the water. A deeper pot,full on boiling water,a splash of vinegar,and 3 minutes Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30488232 Three minutes may work at sea level, but up here in the mountains you can plan on double that. It's quite simple, but the timing has to be accurate within a few seconds. If too little, the yolks run, and if too much, they are hard and cakey. First, bring a pot half full of water to a rolling boil with an ounce or so of vinegar in it. Then break one to five eggs into a bowl. Set a timer to the exact number of minutes/seconds that you determined, and slide the bowl of eggs into the boiling water. Don't swirl. Just allow the pot to come back to a boil and monitor to make sure it doesn't boil over. After six minutes(or less if at lower elevation), scoop out with a slotted spoon into a clean bowl. Add salt and eat. Easy. Getting the right number of seconds is a bit tricky, but you should get it right after trying it a few times. Remember that it's the only way to make an egg outside the shell that doesn't require using oil. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6907309 United States 08/21/2016 01:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No one will tell you, but I will. The poached egg is made by first bringing water to a rolling boil preferably in a steel pot with a lid. Then, SHUT IT OFF! Drop one or two eggs into the water, cover it with the lid, wait about 3 minutes, open and take them out with a large spoon or spatula. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31286987 You don't need to add vinegar by this method. It will work. Wow, that's the Kaminsky method, I didn't realise there were still students of that school of egg poaching. Controversial to say the least. Yeah, I heard about this one poor Moran, he was poaching eggs, minding his own business... Next thing you know the kitchen door explodes into splinters, and these Kevlar wearing stooges with MP5's got him on the floor, hog-tied, boot-on-the-neck, and screaming "What do you know about Kaminsky" I guess it was the International Egg Poachers Cabal? Be careful about how you poach the egg! . |

Quoting: TTA 72818349 You can also control the depth of the egg. If you want a shallow/flat poached egg then obviously just use less water. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6907309 United States 08/21/2016 03:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well at least OP is on the right track... With head hanging low, they have confessed their poaching shame to the ever forgiving Moran (with photos even). As heinous as pooching a poached egg is, there is still hope for the Egg-Tard. Poached-Egg-DOOM is somewhat on the lower order of DOOM scenarios. Clearly Egg-Tard is in need of some remedial Poaching lessons, and they have come to the right place. ? |
