    Raised on a farm, we have fried eggs. I never had a poached egg. Here I am at 11:30 at night, come across you video and think I got to try it. Being we get about 35 eggs a day. I had a few eggs only hours old! 1145 I poach 2 eggs, Delicious! This is definitely top of the menu now in the mornings, or a midnight snack😂

      Fried eggs are so good, I love crisping up the edges of the white and still have a runny yolk. But when it comes to Eggs Benedict poached eggs are the way. I bet your beautiful farm fresh eggs were perfect for this. 🙂

      holy dung. It's 11:39 at night for me and Imma do the same thing lol.
      So I did 2 one after the other. My first one was ALMOST perfect in terms of shape. It was a nice solid single lump, but once I put it on a plate the yolk just kinda slipped out of hte whites even though they were solid. I decided 3 minutes wasn't enough, or I didn't make it hot enough. My 2nd attempt had a better consistency but I botched the egg drop somehow because after plopping it in the water it kinda drifted away from the center of my little swirl and ended up swirling all over streaking white all over. Probably could have used a wider pot I guess so as make the center a larger area to correctly hit or something

      If you want to save time, you can fry them using a really good nonstick pan, but cook them with water instead of oil/butter. Perfect every time.

    discovered the ladle method a few months ago, brushing the ladle with some olive or veg oil, parcook it for literally 10 seconds, then dump the egg in. works every time and looks perfect!

      Crack 1 egg into a shallow cup filled with cold water so that the water is a finger level above the egg. Add a pinch of salt. Microwave for 1 minute (approximately). Done. Sorry to be a spoil-sport but this is not rocket science.

      I just used a ladle to poach an old egg. I did not remove the egg from the ladle for a couple of minutes. It worked perfectly. I will now use this method to poach eggs. You tried just once. You did not try any variations. You just pronounced the method as poor. I expect better. Making judgments based on insufficient evidence is not what you should be promoting.

    I used to follow you religiously, then I had to go gluten free and stopped for awhile. BUT.... as I learned more and more about how to live and cook/bake gluten free, I have learned that I can adapt many regular recipes to accommodate my healthy requirements. Now I'm back to following you again and enjoying your recipes as I adapt them to being gluten free. This video was easy as making the egg needed no adjusting, I just need to put my egg on a gf piece of bread or english muffin. I am so happy to be back enjoying your videos!

    Since learning to poach eggs, I generally have it for breakfast daily. It is a good reminder to have a time frame for the egg to cook. I don't usually vortex because I do two at a time, but it does look much better - using the vortex method, that is.

    Thanks for the info. I recently tried the half water and half vinegar idea. I can't recall it having a vinegar taste. I think you have to watch the amount of time that they sit in the mixture. The advantage is you can do a few at a time unlike the swirling idea.
