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
Thank you! It's so nice to have a video dedicated just to poaching an egg, even though you have instructions in your Eggs Benedict recipe. This way we can go straight to the eggformation we need😄
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!
spot on instructions - no nonsense ! and on my first attempt with your instructions i made the most gorgeous poached eggs using the traditional method, so thank you because i will be cooking my eggs this way for the next month (bare minimum)!

John Kanell, I love your blog, U-tube and books. In fact you're the only one that speaks distinctly, explains exactly and is 100% entertaining. I would love to see you have a TV show. Prime time of course. Food Network Channel eat your heart out. P.S. I'm 87 and have learned to cook through your instruction.
I just love watching you John! I’ve poached before but never tried the water vortex. Also, I’m going to make a real effort to use very fresh eggs, straight from the hen. ❤
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.
yay .. i made my first poached eggs today .. they were almost perfect thanks to your neat lil ''vortex'' .. i tremendously enjoyed my avocado toast with the eggs .. thank you ♥
Thank you for this. I always thought i was doing this right but it never looked like the pictures id seen or anyone elses. I wasn't actually doing this correctly. Appreciate your videos. Thanks!
Thank you for this, I enjoyed three delicious poached eggs after I couldn't fall asleep. They turned out fantastic after I followed your instructions. 😊
The eggs turned out wonderfully. I always wanted to make poached eggs and they never turned out, until now. Thanks so much for sharing this method. Now I can finally make eggs sardou!
I have tried so hard to poach an egg for years and I’m just not talented enough!😢 my mom loves poached eggs so much so I try! This may help thank you!❤️
Omg!!! Ive had or thought to have a poached egg but felt froggy with extra time today before work. They turned out perfrct!! Thanks soo mucho. Video was on point.
Thank you! I tried the basic swirl version and it worked fine, since I had pretty fresh eggs. I'll try the strainer version too when I have less fresh eggs in the future!
This worked perfectly (the traditional way). Even my older eggs did great. My only mistake was spinning the water too fast. I had them with grits I made imitating part of your shrimp and grit video. Awesome.
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.
I always use the half white wine vinegar half water method. Leave the egg for 10 mins in the solution and then cook it in simmering water. I can cook multiple egg at the same time. It comes out perfect every time. Perfect shape and DOES NOT taste like vinegar at all!

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.
Try Turkish eggs. It's amazing.

I love you John. You make folks happy!
He also makes yolks happy!
How many minutes to cook the egg?

Literally my favorite breakfast to have every morning
His recipe are always a masterpiece, dynamite. God bless you John
I love poached eggs, and have tried all of the hacks. I like your method of creating a vortex to help the egg hold together. Thank you!

I tried it and it works
You are so relaxing to watch and the instructions are spot on without a lot of clinical mumbo jumbo.
I made my poached egg this morning using the strainer method and it worked perfectly, no vinegar or swirling the water around was needed.

What in the world do you mean by "clinical mumbo jumbo"? So what is your point?!

Thanks for this! Out of the hundreds of poached egg videos on UA-cam, yours makes the best sense to me.

Thank you for the tips. Hopefully, the next time I cook poached eggs, they are going to turn out great. With love from Australia 🇦🇺
Finally bought your book. After 2 weeks it got here, in Brazil. Already made 3 recipes! ❤
Thanks for helping me step up my egg game. I've never made or had a poached egg. Easy and delicious.
I really appreciate your encouragement ❤
Thank you, John!! Never a video I don’t learn from ❤

I feel like this video gonna become legendary

Thank you John for another yummy recipe 💛🙏✨🤗

Perfect at explaining and a calm soothing voice, makes me feel i can do anything, in any of your videos 😊 thank you!

Absolutely LOVE a poached egg. So easy to cook.

The strainer changed the game for me!! It works every time. I was just writing it to you and you demonstrated it! I should have known you knew!
Thank you so much. I used this video for my culinary class and my teacher said the egg looked gorgeous!
I love John's warmth and enthusiasm for what he does! Great info and content!
Thank you for your video. Going to try this today for the first time. You make it look so easy!
I just love watching your videos. You make the most amazing food. My family and I thankyou. With love from Australia 🇦🇺
I was taught all the methods you demonstrated. I find the sieve method to be the best by far.
The eggs turned out wonderfully. I always wanted to make poached eggs and they never turned out, until now. Thanks so much for sharing this method. Now I can finally make eggs sardou!
Loved your poached eggs experiment. I loved the last poached eggs ideas. Thank you for sharing. 😋😋😘😘🥰🥰.
So informative! Thanks for the clear instructions. I’ll have to try making them! 😊👍🏻 Fabulous channel, by the way.
I have tried so hard to poach an egg for years and I’m just not talented enough!😢 my mom loves poached eggs so much so I try! This may help thank you!❤️
You’re not alone … I tried and failed miserably
Thank you for posting this video. I’ve been wanting to learn how to make this for a while now. And now I can say I did it on my second try. 👍
The strainer hack has made my eggs immeasurably better. Thank you so much 😭💗
He is correct!! It is very easy.
The vortex worked perfectly! Thank you!

Yum! Love poached eggs and can't wait to try this. Thank you!
Thanks for the video ! Got it perfect from the first try. Didn't use vinegar, and did the first option.
I always wondered what a poached egg was. I've never made one until today! I made two! 😅 Thank you for the tips. They were Delish!! ❤
Thank for the detailed explanation :D It really helps me realize what was wrong with my poached egg!
Thank you John; you always explain things so well with a little dash of humor. I love eggs!
Vortex swirl. I learned something. thanks.
Thanks, managed to get them perfect first try !
I hate this way - you gotta love this guy ❤❤❤
I’ll try this for breakfast tomorrow, asparagus and all. You’ve given me the confidence boost I needed after the last disastrous attempt I made 😅
I love your stove and pots just perfect 🤩
Thanks so much!! Making my first poached egg right now 😁
My husband just loved poached eggs when he was living . I made them just like you with water and a little bit of vinegar.l
First method is the best for sure.🎉
Swirling method worked! Thank you!
This worked perfectly (the traditional way). Even my older eggs did great. My only mistake was spinning the water too fast. I had them with grits I made imitating part of your shrimp and grit video. Awesome.
Great video John😊😊
I didn’t know it was this simple, awesome!
Thanks so much for this!!!! ❤
Thankyou Sir, I will definitely try it ❤
Brilliant explanation very helpful lunch my was gorgeous thank you 😊

Not just a recipe, a how to!!
Trying this for Breakfast tomorrow 😋😋😋
Love all of your tips and tricks, as usual! Thanks!
Good on you buddy, I have been poaching perfect eggs for over 40 years.
Nice! I think i'll try to make one of these soon!
Thanks, Jonathan! I love fresh eggs but have a very limited access to them, sadly. Thank you!
I'm still learning how to make it, but I started to make it to add to my ramen. it's so delicious😋
I needed this tutorial!❤️
Poached to perfection 😍
Thank you so much for your video did this for the first time and my egg came out great
Excellent tips!!
Fantastic job!
Thanks. You are the best!
That seems really easy to make
i love eggs, thank you for this video
That's my favorite too. Some egg distributors consistently have larger and fresher eggs. I think it's worth the effort to experiment.
I always use the half white wine vinegar half water method. Leave the egg for 10 mins in the solution and then cook it in simmering water. I can cook multiple egg at the same time. It comes out perfect every time. Perfect shape and DOES NOT taste like vinegar at all!
I have been wanting to make ths type of egg! Thanks for posting how to!
Dear John! I hope you are ok? You look skinnier lately. All the best for you❤
Mind ya business
You’re the best👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for teaching me!!
Thanks for creating great content!
I like this format of trying out multiple hacks, could be fun to do when you make simple recipes in the future
That was cool! And thank you John. I'm one of those people who are scared that I can't do it. Thank you for the pep talk to have me try it.
Thank you! This was super helpful :))
