❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I poach multiple eggs at once?
✅ Yes! Just don’t overcrowd the pan. Use a large pot and add eggs one after another into the vortex.
Q: Do I really need vinegar?
🔸 Not required, but highly recommended. It helps the whites set faster. Lemon juice works too!
Q: Can I use this method for egg whites only?
✅ Absolutely. Handle gently—the vortex still helps them form a neat shape.
Q: How do I know when they’re done?
Gently press the yolk with your fingertip through the slotted spoon—it should feel soft but not watery. With practice, you’ll learn by sight.

A little swirl

And when your partner says, “Did you go to culinary school?”
Or your kid eats their greens just to get to the egg on top…
You’ll know:
You didn’t just make breakfast.
You made art.
