    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. 🙂

    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.

    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.

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!

    I tried your preferred method of poaching eggs today! They were delicious and I can't wait to wake up tomorrow morning so that I can make poached eggs again! I do have one confession and one question about the technique.
    First, I didn't use a deep enough pot, so I didn't get a really deep vortex and my eggs were not the best looking, even though they still tasted great. I'll do better next time!
    My questions is: does egg temperature matter? Should I put the eggs in cold or let them warm up a bit before poaching them? Thank you for the video!
