“A LITTLE BIT OF SALT” IS LIKE “ADD TWO SHOTS OF VODKA”
Thats really not that much for that amt of water
Can’t you people not think of Alcohol for 2 seconds
@@randomz1267 it’s a meme, ur probably too old to understand where it comes from anyway 😂
Lmaooooo
that was a LITTLE bit of salt?!
yeah you add salt depending on the amount of water you are using
I thought the same
Cecilia Wong they use a lot of salt in England. My friend went there on a business trip and he said the restaurants even put salt on his salad. I also have a friend from England that confirmed they like salt a lot.
Who does NOT put salt in the salad? wth?
James Cameron I was thinking the same as well.
He's got a British accent, so this must be legit
?
It's a cliché. If someone has a British accent, it means they are amazing cooks
Lol
uncle w0p that was the reason why i subscribed
that's funny cause most people in europe don't take british cuisine serious
anyone down for poached eggs at 2am?
just me?
3am
5am. Tried but failed. Miserably.
3:30am**
1 AM here kek
Hear hear!! It is exactly two am and I am craving poched eggs. Sadly no one to make them for me... O well I will get up and make them myself! Or won’t I...
Damn i was going to use dog eggs
kingdarko please stfu
camEEla cabeYo well that told me gosh I've never had such a verbal bashing like that before... I'm stunned I'm so distraught I think I'll just call it a day and give up this Internet malarkey. .....dogs eggs 😂😂😂
kingdarko ok that actually made me lol
dogs don't lay eggs
Jon Worrall Wow, that went over your head.
I was always really bad at making poached eggs at home the classic way, but after viewing this I managed to do it and now I'm a bit of a master. Love it, it's easy, clean and healthy.
A hens egg? So this won't work with the eggs laid by a rooster?
A rooster is a male chicken, a hen is a female.... they meant hens as opposed to a quail or duck egg (etc.) (idk if this was sarcastic but like yeah)
Caitie Robins You must be fun at parties... da real sherlock
A Dogs egg is actually really nice poached.
My country have duck eggs too, better than a hen's eggs imo. Much creamier.
Caitie Robins wild guess but it's probably somewhere along the lines of "if not hen eggs then what eggs? rooster?"
I told my dad to get me some eggs so that I can try that but he never came back.
Did you call the police
Did you ask for crocodile eggs??
@Aphrodisiac Tresspasser definitely black :)
Scince I may have done a racist here... Not meant to be racist, my apologies... I fucked that one up I'm sorry 😔

@Aphrodisiac Tresspasser 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😊😂😊
Watched about 20 poached egg videos and this is by far the best and most simple method! Subbed! ❤️🥚🍽
Well I had tried everything: the swirl, the needle, the molds... did it you way and my eggs were WONDERFUL!!!
I learned the "drain and dry BEFORE putting it on your bread" last Sunday. The hard way.
I am almost 100% sure mine won't come out anywhere looking like this. I can almost see the whites dispersing everywhere while I look at it, slightly disappointed.
I poach my eggs in the microwave for that reason. Just take a medium sized bowl (microwavable of course), add room temperature water (plenty!) and crack in the raw egg (as the water is not moving, it wont go all over the place). Pierce the eggyolk with a needle or sharp knife (very important, otherwise the egg might 'explode' in the microwave!) put it on high for about 4-5 minutes and voilà. ^_^
Jemima1377 If i do it that way, will the yolk still be runny?
That's why the eggs need to be fresh, over time eggs absorb moisture through their shells and the white gets very runny. Chose the eggs at the store with the longest shelf life left and poaching is surprisingly easy.
Try adding vinegar to them. It stops tge white spreading and doesn't impact the taste
If you're worried about the yolk exploding, do this method but use a mug with plastic wrap over the top. Poke a hole in the yolk and the plastic wrap!
"A little bit of salt"
**dumps a whole pot into pan**
Thank you guys, my son asked for a poached egg this morning and I was like yeah that sounds good. It was at that point I realized I'm in my mid 30's and I've never poached an egg. This method you demonstrated made it so much easier, I was successful on the first try and each attempt after. Needless to say, I'll be having more poached eggs at home in the future.
Ben says add a little, but actually adds alot lol.
I've learned a decent amount, but need more to be added :/
I'm actually enjoying the 'now cook it' team up, and the worst thing is; I'm an Australian lol
Thanks 😜
probably learned more this way than the last few years combined
A little salt? He put in what would be 5 years worth of salt in my house for 5 persons! However - if it holds the egg together that well - I will try it.
If you were to drink the water, sure, thats a lot of salt. But keep in mind only a small amount of that salt actually gets into the eggs. Its the same with pasta. Generous amount of salt since theres so much water.
Comfort Litha, then you must eat a lot of processed food, because your body quits working well without adequate blood sodium content.
Never seen anyone show how the water should be barely bubbling before, mine are normally done in boiling water, no wonder they fall apart! Nice info.
Indeed that is the key in poching eggs! 85 degrees (celcius) non moving water! And sift the egg in a small strainer to get rid of the runny eggwhite that ends up all over the place.
Same! The second I saw that water I thought no wonder mine are coming out with tentacles 😂
That's not a little bit of Salt.
nope, and he added more after it was cooked!! :/
Don't drink the water and you'll be fine.
My face book and u tube won’t play on my ASU’s tablet
Weed Wilson yes
Thank you so much. I just made mine today and it turned out perfect 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
A Vegemite, avocado and poached egg on toast is one of my dads favourite breakfasts 🍳
Vegemite is disgusting, and I hope you bought it from a cafe where its about $15 for a smashed avo on toast.
what is a vegemite?
Marmite all the way
Just made my first successful poached egg. Think the room temp egg and huge load of salt were key. Thank you.
Thanks for that, it worked first time, I watched a few other videos on RUclips beforehand, that said they were for beginners, but they all used fancy equipment that I don't have in my normal kitchen
I tried it following the tips. It tasted like heaven. Thanks for the video ❤️
So the key is to use a Hens egg! Damn all these time I've been using just eggs!
There are different kinds of birds that lay eggs which can be eaten so he's right
@user deceased Just like the eggs!
@@HiroJJ94 actually it's not only chickens that are called hens. Ducks are too! I'm not sure about English, but in my language most female birds are called hens
a sea turtle egg works in a pinch
😊😊😊😊
1:00 A.M.... I'm taking a shit... while watching a video about fucking eggs... and I need to wake up at 6:45 to get ready to go to school and turn in a 10 page essay that I'm only 1/3 done.
Gucci Versace living life 😂
Came for the egg, stayed for the chef 👨🍳
1:35 i feel bad for laughing.
i know its the right amount but damn xD
Ah! Thank you Ben. I have been craving poached eggs for months but haven't been able to achieve one yet after trying a few different methods! My whites just float off everywhere normally lol. But I do tend to cook refrigerated eggs. Look forward to trying this method the next time I try!
Hopefully it'll help. If not get in touch and we'll give you some pointers.
It worked! Thank you so much. I did a little victory dance and am looking forward to many poached eggs in my future! So much easier than I thought it would be! You have no idea how happy one little poached egg has made me 😂
Thank you for This video finally learning to cook and did this now this morning for the first time. A success thank you, look forward to more videos to watch and progress with my cooking 😊
use the glass u submerged the egg in (if from fridge) to crack the egg open and hold the yolk in for further use...
Little bit of salt...
*POURS ENTIRE DEAD SEA*
how many roosters do I need mate? My hens are expired.
Salt helping to safe poached eggs integrity? Wow, something new here. I've always seen that it's acidity that does it (vinegar or just lemon juice...). By the way, looks like you've added way more salt that would be enough for like boiling pasta in the same amount of water, right?
I tried it, used just a little bit of sat at first but had to add more to keep the whites from spreading out. I guess it keeps them intact? Anyway, even with all the salt i put it thr egg wasnt salty...just like with pasta guess.
Educated guess is that there's a lot of surface area (and cracks and crevices) on pasta for the salted water to attach and seep into - if the egg white stays clumped (approximating a spheroid when in the water) , it _should_ retain comparatively little salt for a similar weight of egg.
@@countertony the egg white is also a less absorbent material than pasta, so it doesn't suck in salt and hold it
I personally like it where the yolk is just a little bit more on the “gooey” side not so runny. More like 4-5 minutes.
I used an egg which still had 13 days on the date and the white detached itself from the yolk and looked like snow. The only step I missed was adding salt. I will try this next time even though I am not a fan of the stuff.
Hi just watched the video what do I do if the egg keeps sticking to the bottom of the pan
What I wanted to know.
Thanks very much.
I used a cereal bowl. Filled it with cold water. Cracked an egg inside. Put it in the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. It was perfect!!
That face at the end is so 'Yap, nailed it'
FXBRXC actually it’s his signature (adorable) smug “sorted” look.
So well explained!
Followed this step by step, but despite putting eggs in super gently mine open up like a parachute rather than forming in to little lumps at the bottom.... 😐
Ficture Furrpect! Decidedly doable. Well done,thanks.
Next Video: The perfect buttered toast.
Salt SEPARATES the eggs. 2 tbsp of vinegar is what the wee chap meant. Also, just use medium heat and stir the water before dumping eggs in. You can separate them just before they are done pretty easily. You don't want too much whites anyway.
P.S. - NO ONE eats poached eggs without toast. It's kinda the whole point...
is it lame that i got really excited to see this in my sub box?? i always wanted to make poached egg!!
AlmaRêveuse me too I've always wanted to know how 😂😂
It seems simple and it kind of is when you know how... but people are always impressed with perfectly poached eggs!
SORTEDfood I made them for my tuna salad! They turned out perfecttttt 🍳
Can you season it in the bowl first before you cook it?
Perfect Saturday breakfast - I usually use the clingfilm method under the mistaken belief that it's easier. Never again!
I need a captain! I'd really like to know the science behind how the salt makes the egg stay together. Thank you.
Ozzzzmosis Google IT
You generally use some vinegar in the pot
perfection indeed - Nice job guys!
WOW! This is so much eaiser! this makes the swirling method look as complicated as picking fly crap out of pepper wearing boxing gloves.
Thank you!
We have a really great 15 second short video on perfectly poached eggs... Easy cleanup too... Just a pot. #joesphenomenal
Loved the video
I followed along exactly and made perfect poached eggs! This was the first time I've attempted to make it and this video was amazingly helpful! Thank you!
Best on avocado and sourdough! Mmm
We have a recipe for that too! bit.ly/NCIAvocadoToast
#LostAndHungryAustralia, Come to Melbourne please!!!!
this is a different way of poaching eggs....but i love it!!!!!! you are such a great cook
alternatively you could also put ramekins at the bottom of the pot and crack the eggs into them, then they cook in the ramekin and no need to fish it out of the water and risk breaking the egg. they also keep a perfectly round shape, great for sandwiches.
“Now we’re gonna add in a LiTTle bit of saLT” *Dumps in a truck* Ya feel the sodium? No? I’ll add more
Or, microwave 2 eggs submerged in a water filled bowl or large mug at 1100 watts for roughly 4 and a half minutes. Experiment with the timing until you get it to your liking.
You should stir the water to get a vortex and the eggs stay together a lot better.. Rookie error
I tried it and my poor fucking egg exploded.
I've followed you guys since 2014 and it has really helped! Thank you for keeping it funny. *huge fan from Nigeria
Wow that really didn’t work for me.. is there anyone that this Actually did work for them? Anyone
“Now we just have to add a little bit of salt” *adds endless amount*
Vinegar is better than salt believe me. And make a vortex
Just tried this after watching this video. Didn't turn out as great as Ben's but it was good anyway. Thanks 😊
Great to hear. Did you go for the double?
SORTEDfood Yep! Worked perfectly!
The other video said the salt breaks the egg apart... So who to trust?
Try it yourself with the salt and without and see if it makes any difference 🤷♀️
@@linal3489 I don't trust myself
Shouldnt you make a little tornado with water?
how to prevent it from sticking at the bottom of the pot?
yuuki alexria, get a non-stick pot.
"Use a hen's egg"
*Nah I'm gonna use a dinosaur egg*
Perfect. Thank you very much for a short clear video, my eggs turned out perfectly. We have a new family favourite.
thank you! my mistake was to put it into boiling bubbling water and continue to boil like a soft-boiled egg.
Thanks dude :) my go to for breakfast is toasted muffins with Marmite and poached eggs on top, but I always add my eggs when the water is at a rolling boil. The idea of doing it on a simmer makes more sense, so thanks for that, and for me retaining more of my egg whites without them going awol!
I leave the egg in the small ramekin, have enough water to half the cup, and just poach in any device, make sure to lightly butter the ramekin.
They came out perfect, thanks! I always forget if you put them in boiling water or bring them to a boil.
1:49 How come the eggs weren't moving at all? My egg whites always move around and spreading everywhere (fail). Sorry for my bad English but I need an answer .-.
Steven Senjaya because the water wasn’t on full boil , just starting to bubble / “light bubble” that way the egg stays in place
EXCELLENT presentation...Thank you...🅱️.
Hi (to all my 100% loyal family) (whoever they are)
And one question i have more my 100% loyal family is that.
(about my history comments)
Those should be the original ones unaltered? right?
(well the idea is that my enemies could have potentially altered it, in some way, however either way im sure the original is always going to be in the youtube database and since all my 100% loyal family are like genius computer programmers they can always retrieve it.)
(Regardless, they should be the original ones)
(i mean, they do seem very familiar to me, and i can recognized them to, but uhm im pretty confident that they are the original ones........ and so uhm im just saying lol)
And yeah, now it all makes sense that when
"when you are 32 and you act like a 67"
whoever the 32 is (the man), my enemy and they acted like me.
(well because now that i seen my comments history, they clearly acted like me)
Oh, I was always puzzled about why my 100% loyal family always been watching me for over a year
(i always thought it was "those reddit comments", well it was that, but that wasn't the main thing)
(well i mean BEFORE they seen my photo and i know all my 100% loyal family likes that one rare photo , and im NOT photogenic, and there is absolutely no way to to know what i look like through a photo or videos , or web cam or surveillance cams and i been over all of that before)
And obviously my point is "in terms of looks(face) im the best there is, was , and ever will be (real life)
and i never really quite figured out what motivated my 100% loyal family to watch me for over a year.
But i think i finally FINALLY figured it out now, and that it's because of my RUclips history comments on toby dog.
1. But uhm and also another thing is (that i felt like i needed to address)
When i was reading those comments yesterday, (i think yesterday or the day before that)
I noticed the thing is that
About the topic of
"my misspelled words"
I do remember specifically (just a vibe, it's a been LONG time) posting on youtube about
"explaining in the comments about how i didn't really care about spelling that much"
oh actually another important thought just popped up suddenly,
(although in this is a somewhat blurry memory, but im slowly unraveling the memories one by on, and ill remember a lot more within the next week or 2)
(well i can't say for sure, but probably)
"the reason why i was so carefree about my misspelled words, and didn't care about it"
It was because at the time, i was an amateur typer, but at the same time, i wanted to type fast.
(and yes i did type fast, i forgot the specific method, but it wasn't touch typing)
(Although i forgot the "the method of how i actually typed")
But the "main idea" is that
At that time, i don't think i knew how to "touch type" yet.
I forgot when i started touch typing actually
(and even when i got into it it did take some time until i actually not misspelled lol )
( but it might be when i got my first laptop for college) (It was an Apple laptop but i forgot what type it was)
(well my first laptop that was actually good, my parents had a few cheap business type laptops that i used when i was a kid that's about it)
(and i was motivated to "get into touch typing" because of that because the keyboard felt really good to type on the laptop, it was fun to type on it)
but don't quote me on any of this since the memory is really blurry, obviously it's been a LONG time
2. Oh and i
"literally just remembered another reason why i misspelled the words"
It was because around that time.
"i literally thought it was cool to not do good on any academic subject (and i naturally hated all academics anyways,, and i been over all of that before), and not care about grammer, or anything of that sorts"
"i thought that only nerds care about grammer, since obviously people know what the word is based on context right, so in that case spelling/grammer isn't important"
But uhm, those 2 are just some of the reasons i guess. (and again the memories are super blurry since it's been a LONG time and so don't quote on it)
And so yeah........ lol
And it's a little bit late now actually i should get to sleep.
"ill save the part about the amounts of fun i had on youtube back in the day for like tomorrow tomorrow night"
Ok,
To( all my 100% loyal family) (whoever they are)
Thanks for reading!
If you want to reduce the risk of getting long white 'threads, in the water, drain the egg. The long threads is a result of the egg not being fresh enough. That slotted spoon in the video seems perfect for that. Drain the egg to remove the more watery bit of the white and the firmer eggwhite will stay in the spoon. This will be a certain way to get a good poached egg without the slimy threads.
Great!!
What’s the difference between salt and vinegar
Very useful! I think I'll stick to my egg poacher though lmao
All the tips I ever got were the exact opposite. High heat water, vinegar in water, egg from fridge. Only got some fragmented whites and a scuffed yolk. Will definitely try this again.
Very good gentleman
You're giving us the "perfect" recipe... but say to cook "2-3 minutes"? No way this will work. You're using a specific temp water... you should have given a specific amount of time to cook the eggs. We do just what you showed and cook for exactly 4 minutes. Cooked whites... thick, runny yolk.
Who doesn't like a poached egg?
Pretending to be a chef then saying the 'swirly method where you can only do 1 at a time' 😂 hes a fucking commis! Probably never done a busy breakfast shift having to do 10+ eggs at a time with the 'swirly method' (which works best for poached) 👀
You just don’t crack eggs on the side of a bowl, and using the back of a knife does the same thing. I wish chefs would stop spreading that misinformation.
I adore this series!! I've always wanted some sort of cooking show to demonstrate the basics and you guys do it perfectly!
Thanks! Hopefully a nice balance between the basics here and more inspiring stuff in FridgeCam.
SORTEDfood absolutely! this makes me more confident to attempt fridgecam recipes!
One of the best ever poached egg recipe i have ever tried. Thanks for sharing this recipe with all of us. Even i have a special microwave poached egg recipe as well. Check out the recipe here: www.recipespack.com/microwave-poached-eggs-recipe-simplyrecipes-com/
Boys, why do you only teach how to make eggs with soft runy yolk? just mention if it can be make w hard yolk and how much longer it'll need. idk abt you at england but here in brazil half the people love runy yolks half of them hate it.
use a hens egg a round one not a rooster egg
Loads of people shocked by hens eggs.... no one heard of ducks egs, quail eggs. Plenty of birds around other than hens. Not to mention croc eggs n snake eggs
it seems that the links to many of the older sorted recipes are now gone. I would like to know how much salt to how much water... the rest is pretty self explanatory... I would also like it if they kept the links to these recipes.
I just place my egg in a small glass dish in about 1 inch of hot water - place a lid on the pan an use moderate heat and come back in 6 minutes. Perfect poached eggs which don't need trimming around the edges .
Use a hen's egg? Implying there are non hen eggs? Where do I find rooster eggs? Is this just another difference between British's english and American english?
Now I know how to make eggs how my fiancee will like :D She always wants over easy but hates the yolk being cooked.
The comments actually made me lol
Ben I did exactly what you said and they just dispersed on the bottom of the pan like fried eggs! Please help, feeling utterly useless here!
What's the difference between just laying it in and making a swirl before? Also why would some chefs add vinegar to the water?
in these comments: a lot of people who think a tablespoon of salt in a pot of boiling water is too much. (ya know, it all doesnt magnetize to the egg, right?)
