In France they put the egg in vigorously boiling water and they don’t lower the temperature. After about 2 minutes you get a perfectly oval poached egg.
You really don’t need that much vinegar or if any at all. If you use fresh eggs and strain the eggs for a few minutes to separate the albumin (what causes the wispy strands), you should be fine. Also the excessive amount of vinegar makes the egg taste a little funky too.
At 0:43, his poached egg was all frayed so I think he trimmed it and edited the video to make it look like he was raising a perfectly shaped poached egg.
Tried this just 30 minutes ago and was perfect! Thank you! I toasted some bread, spread some garlic confit on it, mashed some Avocados added some cajun seasoning and pepper, put a little salt and pepper on the eggs and added hot honey on top and it was heavenly.
I've been using an electric mixer for the vortex, it didn't turn out well...it just opened a portal to a dimension where poached eggs, the dominant life form, were poaching people. All that craziness just for poached eggs smdh.
This is the very best poached egg tutorial I've come across. I've always used too little vinegar and made too much of a whirlpool. This video explains perfectly what I was doing wrong and has just resulted in the best poached eggs I've ever made. They even did the whole "sphere" thing where they become a ball with a hidden yolk that bursts and is beautifully runny yet has perfectly cooked whites. Thank you!!
The reason people recommend fresh eggs is because the egg white starts separating with age, which will create very unsightly strings while poaching and reduce the overall amount of the actual sphere. To prevent the white strings with eggs that are 2 or more days old, crack it gently over a strainer and catch the loose egg-white. Works with any egg, but as time progresses your actual poached egg will be smaller and smaller.
Waste of vinegar there. You only need a few drops to help hold the egg together. Good video though. Though def need another 30seconds if not a fan of runny whites. I spent a lot of time teaching a friend to poach eggs by video (I’m in Scotland, he’s in northern Ireland) because he loves them, but in the end, we both gave up on him and I bought him silicone egg poachers instead 😅
I agree with everything apart from the vintager. Personally I have managed th same results without for years. But whatever works best for you. Keep these vids coming my man!!
There's never just one way to do anything when it comes to cooking. I guess it's down to personal taste and doing whatever works for you. Appreciate your support dude! 🤘
Hes not done it right. Drop the egg into a sieve first. All that loose white drops through. You don't want that loose white. Do that and the pan will be totally clean water afterwards. Makes a massive difference. Boring myself. 😅. There is solid white that's attached to the yolk, and this watery white that messes up the pan. Then put in a ramekin. No bubbles in the water. The egg will sit on the bottom of the pan. The water will be crystal clear when it's finished. 2 minutes should be enough. If it looks a bit hard boiled it's far too long, swear a lot call yourself a failure and chuck it in the bin.
gordon ramsay said to use very little vinegar, or specifically he said “a drop”. too much vinegar can give the egg a weird taste, u don’t wanna taste the vinegar for sure
It'll also add a weird 'skin' to the outside of your egg, hence why the ones in the video look a bit odd. This much vinegar is for people who haven't done it before and want an 'idiots guide' (for lack of a better term).

I add avocado oil (since it can get to a high temp before turning rancid) only if I have to poach more than one at a time, most the time I try to do them individually. The oil prevents them from sticking together and the vinegar not only gives it a great taste, helps the runoff from foaming up, especially helpful when you’re cooking many and don’t want to puncture when grabbing out of the pot.
You don't need to worry about the temperature. That pan isn't getting any hotter than 100C (212f), and will realistically be sitting at about 80 (176f). There's no cooking oil that will 'go rancid' at 100C.
@@TheMharr thanks for the info! I’ve always been told that olive oil is a medium smoke point and to use other oils (as a general rule of thumb) when cooking at higher heats, so I’ve just stuck to that, but you are right, and I wasn’t thinking about the fact it wouldn’t be very hot when boiling. Thanks for the correction! :)
@@Missmay777 No probs! Smoke point is definitely worth bearing in mind for frying; though, unless you're doing really fast searing (something like a steak for example) where your pan needs to be ripping hot, olive oil is still *generally* fit for most purposes. I'd say I use it for at least 80% of my cooking. If you're unsure though, better to be safe than sorry!
Thank you! I have tried for years to make the perfect poached delight and you have shown me the way! Legendary! I may never need to go out for breakfast again!
Great video. The only thing I do that’s different from you is to dip the eggs into a bowl of cold water after the 2.5 minutes. A) it stops the cooking process so your egg yolks won’t set and b) it removes the vinegar aftertaste. Great work.
You should try soaking the raw egg in a solution of 1cup water and cup vinegar for 10 minutes prior to cooking. The white stays together better even without the swirling
Game changer! Was about to use those paper Poachies egg poachers but couldn't open the pouch lol, so I came on RUclips and found this video. Worked perfect first time, thank you ❤

I bring the water to a rolling boil then take it completely off the burner and quickly drop in the egg. Let it sit for about 30 seconds until the outside sets. Then put it back on a low burner.
Its been proven you dont need vinegar or the whirlpool/ vortex for that matter. Heaps of tentacles and whisps on those eggs by the way so far from perfect.
I do just make sure your pot is big enough. They don’t really stick together but the egg whites might touch just break them apart in the water gently before scooping out.
I don’t know why people put them into containers before they drop them. As someone who’s worked years in the morning. You just crack and drop as close to the water as you can (into he centre of the vortex). It’ll stay together if the egg is fresh and cold. The fresher the better. An unnecessary amount of vinegar too, holy smokes - 4-5 caps of the bottle is all you need.
It's just one approach dude! Don't get yourself all worked up! Also loads of people work in the morning. You should specify that you mean as a chef so we know you're the real deal! 🫡
why do chefs always recommend getting the "freshest eggs" in their cooking tutorials, like- I'm not gonna get some random egg I found on the ground in a chicken coop, it's gonna be a normal egg I found at the market. Like Im not gonna stand in the shop and smell which egg is the freshest so whats the point

Very good instructions! I hate eggs but make them for wife so pleased I can do them better now.. I was going to far with the whirlpool.. came out nice but not as pretty like they do now
I made mushrooms and poached eggs from this egg recipe. I was never able to make poached eggs before that! But is it meant to be watery inside? The yolk was perfect but the white was only hard on the outside and then it was watery and gross on the inside
My egg exploded in the microwave, and I spent 20 minutes cleaning it up. One minute is kind of not enough, but if you give it more time, make sure you use a cover in case the egg explodes

That's a lot of vinegar. I use about a tenth of that. A little splash if I use the concentrated stuff. Imagine making seasoned vinegar for a few eggs per bottle... it's cheap, sure, but wow you really don't need as much. I recommend a small pot and boiling water. Take it off the stove just after putting the eggs in and let them there.

Is there any difference between poached and boiled egg?
I loathe runny yolks. How long should it poach for a fully cooked yolk?
At least two minutes, but the egg is likely to explode, better use a cover, or maybe use warm or hot water
If the yolk is not runny then it's not a "poached egg" ... it's an "egg boiled outside it's shell". 🙃
There's more vinegar in there and you still call it water...😂😂
