Sieved the egg makes 100% the difference. My water was crystal clear afterwards. It was the best poached egg, ive ever had or seen. I gave it 10/10. Now l can rule the world.

I never dared to try this before but after watching your video today I tried it. It seemed relatively fool-proof and it was so easy and so good. Looked exactly like yours. I love it!

I just put the egg in a small bowl, tilt it into the hot water, let the water fill into the bowl and get the whites hardening a little for a second or two, then dump the egg in and it stays together every time

Non-chef here, been making the perfect poached eggs since 1999. 😂 Seriously, by the latter method you used, and I tried every method suggested to me until I rested on this method. ❤

[PrinceofArfon]

I'm just a dude trying to make some eggs without burning stuff, and this technique worked perfectly. Thanks!

[ZinksyPrime]

Having been a chef for over 10 years the only two variables in any way people poach eggs that actually makes a critical difference is the freshness of the egg and the draining of the watery whites.

If the eggs are older then thats when i say vinegar is helpful and if also youre doing 20 other things at once the added consistency vinegar gives is nice

[funsufer]

A good little side note too, is that once you have strained the eggs off like you did in the video you can actually throw a whole heap of eggs in at once and they wont stick together

That dish looks amazing and I am so impressed that you’re not a professional Michelin chef because that definitely looks like the best poached egg I’ve ever seen and beautiful fresh eggs. Thank you for posting. I will definitely try this method

[seabsfam]

Why am I reading the comments on how to poach an egg, yep I need some excitement in life it seems 😂

[thealleys]

It's all about the slotted spoon, really. I freaking love those things

[Cattlynt]

I’m obsessed with poached eggs and have tried everything in the books to make them perfect. I do the swirl, but maybe too aggressively. I’ll try this!

[JohnVcosta]

I add a splash of white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar, and stir it in b4 adding the egg in to the moving water… the vinegar helps to solidify the yolk.

[toosiyabrandt]

Hi
Grease a ladle crack egg into it lower into simmering water watch as whites solidify lift out ladle serve!😮

[belalaloca]

where do you get your eggs dude the color of those yolks is incredible

[giusepperesponte]

Saying “bring the water to a rolling simmer” is like telling me that my stove should be set to low maximum. These concepts are mutually exclusive.

[Stargateluminary]

Oh my goodness. The movement of the water keeping the egg intact is genius. Alchemist and Physics, we all gotta eat lol

[kristifounds]

That looks like the perfect egg to mix with buttered toast, cut up, of course. Yum.

[jonoel]

Thank you for sharing this I always wanted to try poached eggs but HATE vinegar

[Jchamb]

Looks like it changes the yolk vs white ration for the better too. Defo trying this on the weekend!
