How to Make Perfect Poached Eggs - Simple and Easy

Poached eggs, we all think they are simple and easy to make. The fact of the matter is, they are not. Like anything else, there is a nack to making them. I don't know the countless hours I have spent fiddling and diddling trying to make the perfect poached eggs with little or no avail, until I came up with this method. Believe it or not, it's so simple and easy.

It is just a matter of placing about 2 inches of water into a pot, bringing it to a full-blown boil, turning off the heat, placing the eggs in, putting a lid on, and leaving them for exactly 3 minutes. After that, drain them, place them on a plate, and serve them for any application you wish.

There are a few other tricks. For example, make sure your eggs are fresh and at room temperature. Please place each egg in a separate bowl before putting them in the water. If the eggs are not fresh, it is sometimes best straining them first. please visit the recipe for further details.

In this video I will show you exactly how to do this. Watch it, try it, and let us know what you think.

I just crack the egg into a soup ladle and gently lower it into the water 👍 Love your vids Dave. Keep them coming.

Woow this is amazing trick sharing healthy breakfast perfect

[TEMUJINARTS]

Been doing this for a decade now. Trust me it works.
I like my eggs a little more done most of the time, so the it takes to jump in the shower quickly is perfect. I used to use vinegar and make a vortex by stirring. The difference is tiny. By doing it this way you can even use older eggs.
Who wants to stress over poached eggs first thing in the morning!?

[debbiemcclure]

I am 57 years young and have never had poached eggs😂. Maybe it is time for a change lol. Tyfs God bless you

This is probly one of the best egg poaching tutorials I've seen online. However if you're looking for something even simpler calmer you can even do these in the oven or the microwave. In the restaurant that I work in we do ours in muffin tins in the oven but you've gotta watch because you can sometimes get small eggs. Good video and thanks as always.

[jaytlamunch]

You are right fresh eggs and water amounts no need for vinegar! They look amazing Dave, :-)

Dave, great technique, i really like poached eggs, i like to get fancy once in a while & put them on toasted english muffin with hollendaise sauce & even sometimes an added slice of Canadian bacon.

[kathyahaines]

Wow, you made that look so easy 🤗 can't wait to give it a try. Thanks Dave 😊 Have you tried eggs benedict ? It's delicious 😋

[stevelogan]

Tip for subs, viewers, the date on the egg carton is not the expiration date, eggs are usually good up to 30 days from that date, per USDA & FDA. To test your eggs, put cold tap water in a 16 ounce or so glass, place an uncooked egg in the glass. If it sinks to bottom & lays on its side it is very fresh, if it stands upright it is fresh & good to eat, if it floats to the top, pitch it, no good, i'm 57 from rural Kentucky, i know about eggs & chickens.

Hi Dave. When you say "kill the heat" do you mean turn it off completely, or just turn it down low? Thanks. Great video.

[DecipherEncrypted]

You sound wayyyy better than you did in your cinnamon sugar donut video, hope you’re doing well, Dave!

[blacknbougie]

God poached eggs are so good😫I eat them with smoked salmon, avocado and pickled onions.

[ritamelani]

I failed 😩 the white eggs spread so wide, not covering the egg yolks

[amrit]

Great on a toast with some ketchup and cheese
