How To Poach Eggs


I will share my method of making Poached Eggs in this post. I know there are so many ways to make simple beautiful poach eggs. I’ll admit I have tried many of the common methods before and have ended up with a lot of wasted eggs. So, I find this method easiest and it works for me every time without fail! It may not be the best looking poached eggs around; but, it works and is certainly good enough for me. Check out the video and please let me know what you think.




How to Poach Eggs

Ingredients

4 Eggs, at room temperature
Water
A big pinch of Sea Salt

A 9 to 10 inch Pan

Method

Fill about 1 inch water and a big pinch of sea salt in the pan and bring it to a boil.

Turn off the heat. Crack one egg at a time into the water and make sure they are side by side. Closed the lid and allow the eggs to set to the desired consistency. I like my egg yolk runny, so, 3 minutes would be perfect.

Using a slotted spoon or spatula, remove one egg at a time and shake off any excess water. Serve the eggs warm.

  4. I saw some videos in youtube where they use vinegar to poach egg for egg benedict. According to them, vinegar helps stabilizing the egg.

  5. @Jasmine: Yes, but with this method you don’t need any vinegar.

  6. Nah, vinegar doesn't really do all that much and just adds a smell.

    I like to crack mine into a little bowl and slide them in.

  7. But this method needs super fresh eggs, right?
    Hard to get super fresh ones here.
    Those sold unrefrigerated, gets watery just 2-3 days at room temp. Maybe it's due to the hot weather here that the eggs are like that.

  8. @wendyywy @ Table for 2..... or more: It's not necessary to use fresh eggs but they must be at room temperature.

  9. Angie, u're doing alot of videos now eh :) Nice.. I too sometimes turn off the heat, but I swirl the water in the pot b4 putting the egg in. So it comes out roundish and the yolk is in the middle of it.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
