Just so you know, I poach eggs on the regular and the vinegar isn't really necessary. I personally always crack the egg into a small glass just in case it happens to be bad so I don't ruin the water. If the egg is good I gently put it into the water at a nice simmer. I use a spatula to gently move the egg as it starts to cook to make sure it doesn't stick. Bam. done. Definitely recommend doing it in a more shallow Pan like this woman did. :)
@@obijuankenobi420Respectfully, the comment was merely addressing that adding vinegar is not a necessary condition for poaching eggs, although it may be a sufficient condition. I am not sure how “standards of food quality” relate to such a principle, he is merely sharing his experience as a cook in which he doesn’t need to add vinegar. So this does not necessarily indicate anything about his food quality, in fact it may show his skill as a cook by not needing to use vinegar. The point is that your comment seemed to address “different qualities of food” when the person who commented was mainly addressing the fact vinegar is not a necessary condition for poaching eggs.
@@obijuankenobi420Based on your “blunt” comment, you are comparing your standards of food quality to the person who commented. But this is unreasonable considering the point is that you don’t need to have vinegar to make a poached egg, although you can use it if you like, indicating that it is sufficient although not a necessary condition for making high quality poached eggs. Now regarding me not being use to “blunt” comments, you have no evidence to show previous instances of my reaction to blunt comments so that claim lacks any evidence, and your claim that your comment was blunt is also invalid considering it was just a misguided comment.

@@RiskyRagenot sure what's scary, but if it is whether or not the egg is safe to eat.. as long as the whites are fully cooked, the egg is fine to eat.
@@RiskyRage dont get me wrong, its fine that u dont eat runny eggs ofc but why are u scared of it :') thats kinda silly, if its a serious reason then im sorry but im kinda giggling
A student served this to me for an exam and grated a bit of lemon zest on it - it was magnificent! The lemon complimented the fat of the egg yolk and avocado perfectly. Just a little tip.
@@airammds8217I use so oil to coat the spoon evenly. Then approache the back on the water just to get the spoon a bit hot. Put the egg in an go in the water slowly BAM!
Thank you for that my eggs are so fresh that it is hard to get out their shells when they are boiled(especially half-boiled). Now I have ideas of what to do about it.
I have backyard hens my eggs can’t get any fresher, they still spread out when I poach them. My side note is placing the poached egg onto a clean towel, gently roll or pat to dry then place on toast or plate.
There is a method even simpler that doesn't require vinegar. You just need to preheat the egg briefly to make the white stable enough. Then you put the egg into the water. Perfectly poached eggs everytime, you won't believe it. I made a 1 minute video on my channel if you're interested in the details.
My family has a poached egg pan. It has little plastic holders suspended over a water. It's pretty much the same as using a soup spoon to cook the egg.
Avocado is a good idea thanks for the inspiration. Also in Turkish cuisine we put garlicy yoghurt on poached eggs and it's called " Çılbır " I absolutely recommend.
Once I learned this, I've been having poached eggs with toast for breakfast for a couple of years, being able to time cooking eggs, toast, bacon and coffee is extremely satisfying - probably because I am only time correctly sometimes 😊
My best friends are chefs, they boil the water, not a rolling boil i think but a soft boil, and drop the egg in a ladle and keep it in the water until its cooked enough, that way its fool proof and with clean edges and everything
@@obijuankenobi420 no, you really don't. what you NEED is a very fresh egg. vinegar cant save an old egg. i gauge the fitness of an egg for poaching based on how much egg white strains through a strainer.
One thing you can do is try using like a scooper (the big ones for punch or soup/broth) and put the egg in it (put some oil if you think it'll stuck) and just place it in the boiling water.
So everything one does except creating a whirlpool? The whirlpool takes seconds and I've found that's a more foolproof method than just plonking it straight in
I always just put the egg in a netal soup ladle then waot for the outside of the egg to set in the ladle. Then just let it slide into the water. Perfect every time
What matters more than any technique is getting fresh eggs. The older the egg, even if it isn't going bad at all, will be runnier and be less likely to hold together in the poached egg shape.
Honestly the best way is to Boil the water Switch off the stove Put ur eggs in whole Take it out in 7 mins Crack it on where u want it to land . . . Thank me later FYI this is not my recipe
YK where i live they'll say that the egg is uncooked bc of the yolk idk how you guys eat it cause I've never tried it i want to but my mom will be like why are you eating it uncooked
Just crack the egg on a boiling water and let it boil for 2 mins. I dont use anything like vinegar or make whirlpool and I always got the same poach egg. Been doing since my college years.
ACTUALLY *the easiest way is inside a nylon bag* You take a bag, brush one of the inside ends with oil, put that end inside a cup or glass, open the mouth of the bag, crack the egg, close the bag with a knot and put the bag in boiling water. You can attach the bag to the pot with a clothespin. And that's it. YW! :)
Look.. I don't mean to brag but I have never failed to make poached eggs and didn't even know it was hard to make. I was always wondering why there were a million life hacks when all you have to do was drop it in. I use the ladle im using to scoop it up to put the edges on the center and that was it. I thought it was hard for people because they didn't want the white parts and the less white parts you use, i admit it does get harder so I assumed that's why people find it hard to do. But since I enjoy the whites too, I just boil water not even with vinegar and drop it in. I guess.. tip? I don't know if it helps, but I don't crack it on top of the pan, i crack it in a small bowl then pour it in but this is usually done for me so I don't get extra calcium.
2 & a half minutes, thank you! those cowboy cooks who tell you 1 & a half mins are useless & balsamic vinegar laves a disgusting dark mess around the sides
Why do people like runny eggs? Do they love the ooze and slime the way some of us hate it? Does it taste different to you? Do you just enjoy the cutting it open and watching it run like a Lava Cake? What is the appeal?
I use a paper coffee strainer lol Need zero care to put it inside the boiling water and comes out perfectly every time, regardless of temperature and freshness.

The best way I’ve seen is to use a soup spoon and hold it into the water, it creates a beautiful shape too
I wonder why other people don't think of that. It's the first thing that comes to mind.
I did that and the egg sticks to the spoon! Maybe with another kind of spoon Idk

@@batatasacrazyadas7843 thank you :) I will try it again that way
Side note the fresher the eggs the tighter the whites will be. This can make a big difference.
Also a hefty amount of vinegar

so basically normal technique LOL
Yea most chefs use this in restaurants to poach eggs😄
yeah. ngl i was not even aware there were other ways to cook a poached egg lmao
Same I've been doing this since ages lol
Your videos are always egg-cellent Honeysuckle.
I accidentally made poached eggs once trying to fry an egg.
"without that crazy whirlpool"... asif stirring a pot is too much to handle 😂
I just posted something similar. She cuts out that atep then uses a spatula to do what the vortex does.
...but you created the crazy rolling boil!
she's sweet but she's not really telling we older ladies anything we don't already know
My family has a poached egg pan. It has little plastic holders suspended over a water. It's pretty much the same as using a soup spoon to cook the egg.
My mom had that. Wish I had it.
my cousin got me that for xmas!
This is exactly how I do it! I love the taste and texture the vinegar imparts too. Super easy and works every time!
if i do this, the egg would just stick on the bottom of my pan
Avocado is a good idea thanks for the inspiration.
Also in Turkish cuisine we put garlicy yoghurt on poached eggs and it's called " Çılbır "
I absolutely recommend.

No Chef does that. 😅
@@OwnerofHorses why wouldn't they? It's the easiest way
My family and I make poached eggs with ramen noodles. Like when the broth and noodle boils we just throw in the eggs to go with it. It's delicious 🤤
Who like it ,the flowing yellow one , By the way normal people prefer totally cooked egg
when i saw the runny yolk i physically gagged but maybe thats my sensory issues and also noa i want devilled eggs
Isn't this how you're supposed to poach an egg? At least the spoon part seems exactly like the original method
I'd love to see somebody poach an egg like that, but an even bigger one - be it from an Emu or an Ostrich!
In my mom's language its not cooked😂
Boil it in the shell. Perfect poached eggs every single time.
I might make a poached egg for breakfast tomorrow
I seriously can’t wait for the next part
Our food teacher taught us to poach egg like that
A pro tip: Hold a spoon with the Egg in the hot water...
that looks beautiful! but i usually so use a greased ladle (so the egg doesn't stick to it) and just hold it in a boiling water for a moment
I use a microwave and my poach egg is good enough for me.
Master chef of India's idea
the ONLY trick that ever matters about poaching eggs is to use FRESH EGGS. that is all. thank me later.
And vinegar
@@obijuankenobi420 not really and i hate the weird smell
@@ezodragon If you want a perfect poached egg with dense egg whites....you need to use vinager
@@obijuankenobi420 no, you really don't. what you NEED is a very fresh egg. vinegar cant save an old egg. i gauge the fitness of an egg for poaching based on how much egg white strains through a strainer.
oh fresh eggs are DEFINITELY best!

So weird but this made me crave a boiled egg... im about to go make some
Wow!! You poached an egg by poaching an egg!
So everything one does except creating a whirlpool? The whirlpool takes seconds and I've found that's a more foolproof method than just plonking it straight in
I use a 3 egg "poaching" pan that has the water on the bottom and steams the top. Perfect poached eggs.
You can actually get special pans to make a poached egg and I would definitely recommend it if you like poached eggs but don’t want to do all that
This, my friend, is the simplest way to make poached eggs.
This looks so good, I wish I wasn't allergic to avacado 😔
Instead of creating the vortex that binds the egg just f around with it using a spatula.
I always just put the egg in a netal soup ladle then waot for the outside of the egg to set in the ladle. Then just let it slide into the water.
Perfect every time
I think I’ll have some poached eggs for breakfast tomorrow
What matters more than any technique is getting fresh eggs. The older the egg, even if it isn't going bad at all, will be runnier and be less likely to hold together in the poached egg shape.
My dad would slap me in the face for even saying eggs benedict
You discovered it? This is a known technique. I made a video months ago
What’s the difference between poached eggs and soft boiled eggs
Maybe the French just like the drama of a swirly!!! It can draw you in😊
Avocado +egg=perfect fart
I just put the egg into water and vinegar mixture and microwave it for 2 mins. Its perfect every single time and I don’t even need to wash a pot 🤩
I’m poaching my egg in the microwave and it works like a charm 😅
meanwhile me using water 😂
Honestly the best way is to
Boil the water
Switch off the stove
Put ur eggs in whole
Take it out in 7 mins
Crack it on where u want it to land

You learned it from MasterChef India right
YK where i live they'll say that the egg is uncooked bc of the yolk idk how you guys eat it cause I've never tried it i want to but my mom will be like why are you eating it uncooked
So... This is the the classic method 😂
One can crack an egg in a cup with some water in it and microwave that. It's quick and easy and fail safe to get the same effect 😊
*That crazy whirlpool*
Adding vinegar makes the egg tastes weird ☹️
Just crack the egg on a boiling water and let it boil for 2 mins. I dont use anything like vinegar or make whirlpool and I always got the same poach egg. Been doing since my college years.
Tysm my eggs were fantastic
Thank you for the Breakfast idea i was thinking what should i eat today Something healthy and Something tasty and fast
"Crazy whirlpool"
So... Steering the water with a spoon before dropping the egg in it...
Yeah... So crazy
Corn cob quickie please. I think you would master that gadget
No vinegar. Just fresh eggs (2 days max) and you’ll be great.
Tried it for the first time. It turned out pretty good, actually! I'm having trouble with the shape, though.
Perfectly poached ❤
ive never made poached eggs before, will the vinegar affect the taste?
Looks amazing but I feel like the egg is not very jammy
I crack egg in a small bowl and transfer it in a nearly boiling water. No vinegar needed.
You can also poach them in a cup in the microwave
Another great way to eat avocado toast is Serrano Ham from Spain
I prefer to keep the egg & the avocado separate tyvm..... That way I enjoy both.
Just wrap the egg in glad wrap, and put it in hot water.
That was very useful, thank you.❤
I want this every morning
Damn making me hungry and I just ate

Lalettan paranja poached egg
That's chef jock zonfrillo’s method bro
There is an easier way. Crack the egg into vinegar and let it set then poach as normal
Well hate to break it to you but you did not discover anything new. This is exactly how it’s usually done. But glad to have another video showing it 😂
You saw it from India master chief
That's beautiful
Saw in Master chef.
It actually turns out aswell that cold eggs make the best poach if they arent chicken fresh

The egg has to be fresh otherwise it will fail. Most store bought eggs are not fresh. Try steaming your eggs instead
This is not something you discovered atleast give credits to the chefs who discovered this
I prefer this method over boiling cause in this way the egg white completely cooks and you still can enjoy the runny yolk
Just fry and make a poached egg much easier
