POACHED EGGS | how to poach an egg (perfectly)

[@Downshiftology]

Hi guys! For those of you who may be a little intimidated with making poached eggs at home, I hope today's tutorial will show you just how easy it is! You can store poached eggs for 4-5 days in the fridge (see more tips in the recipe post), so they're also great for meal prep! What's your favorite breakfast with poached eggs? xo - Lisa

[@giuliapecchia6939]

Downshiftology have you ever heard about cooking several poached eggs using mini bowls in the pot? I know that it helps to maintain the spherical shape!

[@lilrichycook573]

Well, being I have never cooked poached eggs before... I don't have the recipe as of yet :-)

[@karolhina]

Thx for that tip with egg whites seperating liquid ;) , Btw Guys If you havent vinegar you should do it without it , it works too

I firmly believe that the easiest way to poach an egg is to wait until the hen is not looking, then poach the egg as quickly as possible from her nest.

[@BIOSHOCKFOXX]

I dislike it because eggs contain unhealthy protein and fat. And they contain menstrual remains of the hen. You may not want to believe it, but that's true.

@@Crazytesseract why is that important to the quality of the video? Why are you even watching a video on eggs if it doesn't interest you.?

[@riichobamin7612]

In my biotechnology classes, I had learned that a bit of salt helps protein dissolve in water; basically the protein becomes more "water friendly", hence dissolves easily. So this may explain why the albumin (egg white) goes out of wack in salt water; it is just finding it easier to interact with the water and hence can dissipate easier. However if you add the vinegar, the pH lowers and since proteins can only maintain their structure (in this case, the liquid nature of the albumin) in a VERY specific range of pH and temperature, the lowered pH along with the heat will help coagulate the albumin faster. THANKS A LOT FOR THIS VIDEO ma'am. Really helpful !

I just made 3 poached eggs after watching your video. I made two minor changes…after draining, I carefully put all 3 in a small glass in stead of separate bowls. Second, I didn’t bring to full boil and then lower. I just brought to point of boil with the bubbles on the bottom of the pan and slowly dropped each egg from glass into non whirling water and then started timing for 3 minutes when last one went in. Removed after time was up and put on prepared buttered toast…perfect and delicious. I did put 1 Tbs. white vinegar in the water. As soon as each egg hit the water they immediately formed into poached egg shape. This was my first success with making a professional looking eggs. I have had great success with her soft boiled and hard boiled egg methods too. I usually use extra large eggs, and occasionally large ones. I didn’t have to adjust time for the extra large in any of her egg times. Thanks for all your hard work to set us up with successes.

I just tried this. Magic. I started with the one at a time technique. I then did the swirl technique with multiple eggs. I went one at a time waiting for the initial outside set of the initial then subsequent additional eggs. I went to four. I know this will cause a difference in the “cookedness” in the eggs but not noticeable. I pulled the more set ones out first. Thanks for the video!

A skilled egg poacher here! Add salt to the water and a lot- White wine vinager only. swirl the water around (water must have reached boiling and been sat for a minimum 5 mins) Get a sweral going on with the water! The pot used to transfer the egg must be small. Do not throw the egg in, place the egg and slowly does it. 3min-3.30 max as the egg will begin to cook once it has left the water. place the egg on a kitchen towel and pat dry. taken from the science of cooking book and also my own experience. I make great poached eggs.

[@calibear4867]

Mine came out absolutely perfect. 3 minutes was perfect, runny yolks and totally solid whites. I’d never had poached eggs before and neither had my mom. We both loved them. Definitely won’t be my last time. I got more yolk cookin them this way then when I fry them and they weren’t over OR under cooked. My mom loved that they didn’t taste like oil and grease. This one’s going into my recipe book. 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻

Love the sieve to get rid of the thin white. Another option for putting the egg into the water; put the egg into a non-stick ladle and lower it slowly until boiling water covers the egg and starts to cook it. After a few minutes gently pour the egg into the water.

[@trevorkohn2489]

I've made poached eggs in the past, but following your technique took them to the next level. I really think that "straining" the extra egg whites out and dropping the egg in the center of the swirl made ALL the difference. I some great poached eggs all thanks to your great video! Thank you!

Hey thanks for making this video! I've never made poached eggs before today. I needed to give my elderly mom something to eat, and I remembered that she used to like poached eggs on toast.

My method- boil a pan of water. Chuck egg in boiling water and turn off the heat. Put bread in the toaster. By the time the toast is done to my liking (about 2 1/2 minutes) and I’ve smothered it in butter, the eggs are done. Nice and runny eggs. No mess, just a plate, pan, knife and fork to wash. Simples. Use duck eggs, they’re so much nicer than chicken eggs when poached.
