Just real cooking, done right.
🔥 Step-by-Step: How to Poach Like a Pro
Let’s make magic—one golden egg at a time.
Step 1: Prep & Heat the Water
Fill a saucepan 2/3 full with water.
Add 1 tbsp vinegar and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat—look for small bubbles rising, but no rolling boil.
🔥 Ideal temp: ~180–190°F (82–88°C)
💡 Too hot? Boiling water tears the egg apart.
💡 Too cool? Whites stay loose and wispy.
Step 2: Crack Into Ramekins
Crack each egg into its own bowl before cooking.
👉 This lets you slide it in gently and ensures no shell surprises.
Step 3: Create the Vortex
Once water is simmering, grab a spoon and stir in a fast, circular motion to create a whirlpool.
🌀 Keep stirring until you see a visible dip in the center.
