How to Poach Eggs 101~with Chef Frank

Poaching eggs is a foundational skill chefs learn early on in the restaurant industry. New cooks normally get the tasks the more experienced cooks don't want to do. Poaching eggs is one of these tasks. I never had a problem poaching eggs. If you are organized and neat they are easy to make. Try my technique & practice and they will be easy for you as well.
Your pan may be different.

water 2 qts/1.89l
distilled white vinegar 3/4 cup/180 ml
salt 2 tbsp/34g

Professionalist and dad vibes, also somehow high quality and scuffed at the same time :D loving it, thanks btw i generally season the egg after i take it out instead of seasoning the water, i use vinegar from my dad's leftover homemade wine that starts to ferment

[Novedrake]

Me, alone, poaching 10-15 eggs in my pan: “Yes...this is great for parties”

"the worst part, tasting the water"
as someone who uses salt and vinegar chips to feel something I beg to differ.

Haha “if you’re a Gen Z’er your avocado toast” :D

Thanks again chef these vids have been inspiring

[jamesk]

Now I'm hoping to see some hollandaise sauce after this one 🤤

You're like the patient dad that has infinite wisdom about cooking most of us never had. Keep being wholesome and awesome <3

2:10 "boiling in Fahrenheit is 212. I'll put the Celcius measure in the description"
I laughed way too hard about that statement XD

[sydney]

just discovered this KINGS channel! thanks frank

[omnibus]

This is great. I'd been poaching my eggs in a pot and doing the "stir the boiling water before dropping the eggs in" thing and got the white whispies anyway. Now to find a sautoir pan under $30, because I'm not made of money.

[bloodhunterx]

alright, i think this is one of the best if not the best Poach Eggs Tutorial out there. thanks Chef

[EricSanDiego]

"You can use any eggs that you want" - Oh boy. Be careful what you say, Frank. You've got a sense of humor and that attracts fans with a sense of humor.

[ernesthemingay]

Wow, Frank you're such a cool guy, so handsome aaaand a great cook! Your wife is a lucky lady (and I'm sure you are lucky too to have her). Said will a lot of respect, a fan 👍🏽😊

I thought 11 minutes was a bit much but this is the most in depth and informative poached egg video I've seen. More like this! I feel like I'm seriously learning to cook.

[MrDPlaysStuff]

Richard Hammond would be happy with these, and that's the greatest compliment I can pay them.

Bless the person who commented on the pancakes video that Frank has a youtube channel, I came here as soon as I read that comment and subscribed.

Thank you Frank for your videos, we have been "binge watching" a lot of them in the last days and now, my wife an I are wishing for 2 things: 1- taste your cooking and 2- become your students. You are not only a great chef but an even better teacher. Both of us have been cooking for decades (though we are no professionals, just lvl 2 chefs ;) )and, because of your channel, there are plenty of little thing we realise we can do to improve our skills even in as simple a thing as poaching an egg. It's just a shame that we live too far to take one of your class (we live in Quebec Canada). Maybe someday we'll be able to see you in a meet and greet event. Thank you again and hope you'll keep this channel alive for a really long time.

Been trying to perfect this for awhile now. Not gonna lie it's my favorite way to make eggs.

[Scotsdave]

Hey man,
I've watched a ton of chef channels on Youtube and you've started great - love the slightly more 'technical' how to's rather than big complex meals. For a later date no doubt, but this is a great way to start a channel!

[racheltdm]

I dont normally eat poached eggs, but it definitely is great to impress some friends !😆

[Sascream]

Made this for my wife this morning!
She absolutely loved it - of course on an avocado toast with my first ever selfmade Hollandaise (no kidding) :p
