Nice simple instructions. I've used the silicon 'poachers' that you can floar in the past. I've cracked poachng direct in water now - helps to have really fresh eggs from our own chickens.

Nice one Rik, having spent years attempting (& failing miserably) to perfectly poach eggs directly into water, I gave in & purchased a set of those silicone poached egg moulds. I know that strictly speaking the puritans will argue ‘these aren’t proper poached eggs but coddled eggs” 🙄, but who cares they look & taste like poached eggs to me. I wasted countless eggs over the years experimenting & discarding dozens of inedible stringy egg messes, & it’s a definite 👍 from me for the lidded pan & egg mould version. I did purchase one of those electrical egg boiler/poacher gadgets for my late husband to use following his stroke & rehabilitation, (he was left with a rare & unusual set of neurological problems, one of which was that he couldn’t discern temperature in his right hand - so was very susceptible to burning himself) it helped overcome his frustration at not being able to be more independent & so he could occasionally treat me to breakfast, it was certainly a big hit with him, & really helped raise his confidence in the kitchen, so would recommend for anyone in a similar situation or with frail, elderly family members. Thanks as always 🙏 for sharing Rik, anything to make life easier is definitely worthy of a thumbs up 👍 in my book! xx 👨‍🍳👌❤️

[@BackyardChef]

Yes the puritans who can't boil or poach an egg but will chime in about poached is submerged in fluid - however poached egg gadgets on the market, helping many, are not submerged. This is a guaranteed way every time. You know this channel - its about cooking and helping others cook - not swirling and twirling eggs with a less than 50% success rate. Thank You. Best, Rik

I too like it a little runny can spread a little across the whole of the toast that way :).

[@isaiah513623]

I wonder where the white vinegar idea came from? Yours is so much easier & demystified finally!

[@BackyardChef]

Vinegar is acidic, and the acid helps the egg whites coagulate more quickly. This can make the whites firmer and more likely to hold their shape, especially if the egg is cracked directly into the water. In traditional poaching, vinegar helps reduce the "feathery" bits of egg whites from spreading out into the water. It is NOT needed at all in this method. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@lynsoeder7422]

I thought this was called coddled eggs, which I love and make often. I lived in Costa Rica for a while and learned to poach eggs in the black bean soup. They are just dropped in the bubbling broth and make a lovely satisfying meal Correct me if I'm wrong...I thought that poaching meant the egg was directly in the liquid. When I make them this way I usually add salt, pepper and some dried herbs. Very nice!

[@martinjb55]

When I was little my mum had an aluminium pan which contained a base in which you simmered the water, frame which sat above that, with four holes, each of which had a little cup with a wire loop handle. The cups would be buttered, and the eggs put in as you did with your pots. A lid would then sit on top of that so the eggs would cook in the same way yours did. There were never any broken yolks or underdone eggs. It was a great little bit of kit. I don't know what happened to it after my parents died. I was told later that they were actually coddled eggs, as poching is done in liquid. Basically, I enjoy them done either way, and your way is easier. Thanks for the demo. it's another good post.

I use stainless steel cooking rings for one or two eggs...you get a really good shape and natural looking poached egg. Or if I'm cooking 4 eggs, I just poach them in water in a small frying pan...perfect eggs everytime....as each egg helps the other to hold shape.
