EASIEST and Quick 4 Minute POACHED EGGS No Gimmicks!

Making poached eggs at home is incredibly easy—no need for gimmicks like spinning water with vinegar or straining eggs through a sieve. These overcomplicated methods are just chef tricks to stand out. Today, I’ll show you how to make the perfect poached egg using a simple pan with a lid, a trivet, and a small pie tin or ramekins. Let’s bust the myths and create flawless poached eggs in just 4 minutes!
Some may call these coddled eggs; however, using egg poachers at home - is the same process. Cooking and spinning in water can take the same amount of time and have no consistent result. This poached/coddled way guarantees perfect results every time.
With this method you can cook many eggs at once not just swirling and twirling one egg!!

This is great thank you, I used to do the twirling and swirling method and have a 50% success rate. So I have worked out you have saved me 100 eggs thanks again.

[Dodo-yw]

I suddenly needed to make these for breakfast. Yummy.

[lilliankeane]

What is it about an egg that when you see one cooked, you immediately want one! 😂 another master class in no fuss cooking in everyday kitchens around the world! Thanks Rik, “nice and steady”

[liserjones]

I love that you have our backs Rik! I could watch 20 videos on the same method and still get it wrong! I also love that you listen to your community - a Lady asked about caramelising onions and despite giving a detailed description a few days later they were on the menu! You truly are a fantastic teacher and I am so grateful I found your channel - you have given me so much confidence and taught my husband to bake - you have changed our lives one recipe at a time! If Rik doesn't do it then neither do we! Thanks Chef! We know 2025 is going to be a great year for you - cheers x
