Ok, so I talked about poaching eggs in a previous post, and I've been eating them every morning for a couple of weeks. Now, i didn't really know HOW to poach an egg, but was just putting the eggs in some simmering water and cooking them. They turned out just fine , in my opinon, but not as pretty as you'd expect. SOmeone told me to spin the water before putting the egg in.
That didn't work too well either. Yolk and white separated by g forces. Not a happy poached egg. (Still tasted fine though!)
So, I went looking for the "real' way to poach an egg.
here's a very simply described process for poaching eggs.
I'm going to try this tomorrow. You too, let me know how it goes!!

I use the skillet & vinegar method, but instead of putting the eggs on a plate, I crack one at a time into a small coffee cup. To add the egg to the water, I lower it in on its side and let the water carry it out of the cup. I get less strings of egg white that way.
My mom has a small egg poacher, something like this that does a lovely job. A little pricey, though.
oh yeah baby! it works, much better than the big pot of boiling water method!!
Poach on my friends!
i've always done the vinegar method, i love the slight vinegary flavor it leaves behind.
Thanks for this...I must try the vinegar method....
