Mmm right? I'm the same with deviled eggs or hard boiled eggs lol, I can eat several in one setting...though hubby doesn't appreciate the after effects lmfao.
Professionalist and dad vibes, also somehow high quality and scuffed at the same time :D loving it, thanks btw i generally season the egg after i take it out instead of seasoning the water, i use vinegar from my dad's leftover homemade wine that starts to ferment
I find a lot of success with the HOT BUTTER method. My wife and I melt butter to the boiling point, 1 whole stick, then throw in a yoke, and use the immersion blender, and in like 30 seconds, BOOOOOM! Hollandaise. I learned from youtube... I am sure you can find the same video. ua-cam.com/video/7Q92LgPYmKg/v-deo.html
This is great. I'd been poaching my eggs in a pot and doing the "stir the boiling water before dropping the eggs in" thing and got the white whispies anyway. Now to find a sautoir pan under $30, because I'm not made of money.
"You can use any eggs that you want" - Oh boy. Be careful what you say, Frank. You've got a sense of humor and that attracts fans with a sense of humor.
I thought 11 minutes was a bit much but this is the most in depth and informative poached egg video I've seen. More like this! I feel like I'm seriously learning to cook.
Hey man, I've watched a ton of chef channels on UA-cam and you've started great - love the slightly more 'technical' how to's rather than big complex meals. For a later date no doubt, but this is a great way to start a channel!
Thank you Frank for your videos, we have been "binge watching" a lot of them in the last days and now, my wife an I are wishing for 2 things: 1- taste your cooking and 2- become your students. You are not only a great chef but an even better teacher. Both of us have been cooking for decades (though we are no professionals, just lvl 2 chefs ;) )and, because of your channel, there are plenty of little thing we realise we can do to improve our skills even in as simple a thing as poaching an egg. It's just a shame that we live too far to take one of your class (we live in Quebec Canada). Maybe someday we'll be able to see you in a meet and greet event. Thank you again and hope you'll keep this channel alive for a really long time.
When I was a wee tyke my mom would break up a few slices of bread into a coffee mug then drop a poached egg on top of it as a breakfast. I was never really in love with them but just seeing Frank's poached eggs is making me want to make that dish.
Wow, Frank you're such a cool guy, so handsome aaaand a great cook! Your wife is a lucky lady (and I'm sure you are lucky too to have her). Said will a lot of respect, a fan 👍🏽😊
Thanks chef. I'm always told to use the freshest eggs possible, it'd be nice to see a short clip on when to use eggs at different "ages" that they've been in your fridge. Regardless I've also been told to crack the eggs into a strainer/sieve to drain away the "secondary" or watery part of the egg white
Commenting to help pull you up in the algorithm. I do a vortex without vinegar, but I can't deny you had a good result. It makes me further appreciate when you say you've seen a lot of people do different things, so the viewer should try several things and find what works for them.
It took me awhile trying a few different techniques, but I finally mastered poached eggs. And even though I'm way older than a Gen-Zer, they are indeed great on avocado toast! 😋
Those 101 videos are a godsend. As a hobby cook, I always love to try things but I'm terrible at actual technique, simply cause I never really learned it and on most channels, you never learn the why you should do sth, just that you should do this or that. Those mechanical explanations are really really great to actual understand things. Keep up the great work!
I like the vortex method. I also strain my eggs to remove the more watery part of the white. That prevents the whispy whites. I also try to use the FRESHEST eggs possible. That reduces the amount of watery whites in the eggs.
Hmm yes, I wonder what they based the Celsius scale on, since Fahrenheit is a bunch of odd numbers, certainly the metric scale with all it's 0-100s will be outrageous to understand, so let's not bother with it. Honestly, I prefer reading temperature in celsius since it makes so much more sense than Fahrenheit. The metric scale should've been implemented years ago but we Americans just have to be different 😑
I was taught how to Poach eggs the same way in a rondeau in technical college. I always had my water too hot and learned that the bubbles blow the egg whites around and make crappy looking eggs. I tried fried poached eggs; they are pretty good and make for an interesting addition to a plate or as a snack. Although, they are a bit more labor intensive. Personally, I think a normal poached egg works just find in most cases, but a fried one is definitely worth a try.
I love your videos. Watching them really gets me in the mood to try to cook new foods, and you make really intuitive videos that make it even easier to do so. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I admit I was a bit intimidated by eggs Benedict and so I never made it. Between this video and the hollandaise one, I'm on board with giving it a shot now! So good!
Excellent content Frank as per usual. tackling simple stuff the right way. a little suggestion to the audience, i like to crack the egg on a slotted spoon before the bowl to remove any excess runny egg white to ensure a more beautiful whole poached egg. my girlfriend absolutely loves eggs benedict in the morning!
Such a beautiful and calm method for poaching!!! 💜💜💜 I like to acidulate my water with lemon to match the flavor of my Hollandaise for Eggs Benedict. How about sous vide or Ramen eggs next, Chef?
I appreciate all the cooking tips and instructions. Could you please share instructions on how to properly save leftovers, how long food lasts in the fridge, freezer, etc, and how to know when to throw away ingredients/food? many thanks Chef!
Oh Americans, you're funny. Boiling temperature in Celsius is 100, no need to tell us, foreigners. That's why we want you to follow the entire world and make that switch. 0 = freezing, 100 = boiling. Simples. Great video btw. I've learned something new today. Now gotta get that distilled vinegar.
Perfect simple explanation, Chef, your channel was the discovery of the week =) I like how you go for the simple methods you feel comfortable and explain them with passion. Cheers!
I am personally using the swirl and higher temperature water method, but this looks so easy I will try it. Funny is how many chefs differ in matter of use or not to use vinegar, heard even quite heated discussion about it once :-) I and my wife like our eggs with vinegar bit of taste, it is a great part of weekend breakfast.
That’s cool! It looks genius to use a pan actually! I have poached eggs in big saucepan, but when I drop an egg there, it just breaks sometimes while swimming to the bottom. And sometimes my yolk just runs out ... I would definitely try using a pan, thank you, Frank!
Great video! After watching you on the Epicurious videos, it's great to see you start your own instructional videos. Thanks for putting these together & keep going, Chef!
Thanks Chef! Poaching as always intimidated me, but I will definitely give a try tomorrow! I love your 101 series, learning techniques and the basics are the things I like because it opens up alot of recipies :)
Poached eggs are lovely w/ some nice and hot buttered toast for breakfast any day, but maybe when the weather turns cooler you could go over egg drop soup, such an underrated dish, but so comforting and easy to customize and I'd love to see what your take is.
This is the same method as Alton Brown's, except he's more specific about temperature (190˚F) and water height (1.5"). It works great, although I used less vinegar than Frank (as does Alton), and my eggs still tasted like vinegar. (When I tried using even less, the whites came apart.) I prefer over easy eggs anyway, but it's good to have a healthier option.
All right, that does it. I can't let eggs bully me anymore! This weekend for breakfast I'm gonna forge ahead with my southwest bennies and poach, poach, poach my eggs to perfection!
I like these 101 videos. I think its a nice touch that Frank says this is preferred method and why, but does not talk down on the other methods. However, I think it would have been nice to show the other methods as well, to give the viewer a chance to understand and replicate them. At least in this case it would have been quite easy to do. Again, I really like the videos, so please do not take this feedback too harshly. But just like Frank wants to help us elevate our cooking skills , I hope this feedback can elevate his future youtube videos ;)
Do ahead tip: You can put the finished eggs in an ice bath and slowly warm them up when you need to plate them. Just need to be careful not to cook the yolks on the reheating. Good as new!
Hello Chef. I started watching Epicurious during lockdown and you quickly became one of my favorite chefs. I’m thrilled to find that you have your own channel. I learned so much from you. During lockdown, I wanted to learn some more culinary skills. I’ve been playing around with making my own hot sauce. I don’t have a set recipe, but have been playing around with different flavors. Is it possible to do a hot sauce video?
Love the video, Chef! Your candidness really shines through, providing a great contrast to the fancy-schmancy cooking we see in Epicurious. Love the Celsius humor, too! What's your opinion on putting the egg into a cold water bath immediately after poaching?
Hi Chef Frank, I love your channel. I've been practising cooking steaks and I think I've got the hang of it, but I'd really love to learn how to make proper sauces to go with them. Would you be able to show how to make a Béarnaise sauce? I've found loads of videos which all have different methods! Keep up the good work!
I use a small, fine mesh sieve to crack my egg in first. Doing so drains off that much thinner part of the egg white that causes the whips. They’re always perfect doing it this way. Otherwise I make mine the exact same as yours! Yummy!
I'd really like to see Chef Frank show how he does fries. Mine always come out soft, both outside and inside, no matter if I double fry them or not. There must be more that I'm missing.
Hey Frank, can you make some videos to show some realistic and simple recipes? Or simple tricks for lazy cooks? Like putting a bouillon cube while the rice is cooking, or making a simple spaghetti with just tomatoes, cheese and onions? A video that shows how easy you can make a meal with simple ingredients, baking potatoes in a pan, simple, but amazing. I love channels that show recipes that anyone can make. Simple ingredients, amazing flavors. Also, maybe more vegetarian dishes?!
Me, alone, poaching 10-15 eggs in my pan: “Yes...this is great for parties”
That's less sad than my mental image of a bunch of people having a party centered around eating poached eggs.
Cooking for family and friends is true generosity.
Mmm right? I'm the same with deviled eggs or hard boiled eggs lol, I can eat several in one setting...though hubby doesn't appreciate the after effects lmfao.
Professionalist and dad vibes, also somehow high quality and scuffed at the same time :D loving it, thanks btw i generally season the egg after i take it out instead of seasoning the water, i use vinegar from my dad's leftover homemade wine that starts to ferment
"the worst part, tasting the water"
as someone who uses salt and vinegar chips to feel something I beg to differ.
Haha “if you’re a Gen Z’er your avocado toast” :D
Thanks again chef these vids have been inspiring
Now I'm hoping to see some hollandaise sauce after this one 🤤
I find a lot of success with the HOT BUTTER method. My wife and I melt butter to the boiling point, 1 whole stick, then throw in a yoke, and use the immersion blender, and in like 30 seconds, BOOOOOM! Hollandaise. I learned from youtube...

Second
Third. And let's get the full eggs benny!
Chef Frank please make this happen!
@@jeeping32810 it probably doesnt taste the same
Richard Hammond would be happy with these, and that's the greatest compliment I can pay them.
2:10 "boiling in Fahrenheit is 212. I'll put the Celcius measure in the description"
I laughed way too hard about that statement XD
Me too
Bless the person who commented on the pancakes video that Frank has a youtube channel, I came here as soon as I read that comment and subscribed.
You're like the patient dad that has infinite wisdom about cooking most of us never had. Keep being wholesome and awesome
just discovered this KINGS channel! thanks frank
You know you're learning from a master when he starts talking about the costs of ingredients..
This is great. I'd been poaching my eggs in a pot and doing the "stir the boiling water before dropping the eggs in" thing and got the white whispies anyway. Now to find a sautoir pan under $30, because I'm not made of money.
alright, i think this is one of the best if not the best Poach Eggs Tutorial out there. thanks Chef
"You can use any eggs that you want" - Oh boy. Be careful what you say, Frank. You've got a sense of humor and that attracts fans with a sense of humor.

Been trying to perfect this for awhile now. Not gonna lie it's my favorite way to make eggs.
I dont normally eat poached eggs, but it definitely is great to impress some friends !😆
Thank you Frank for your videos, we have been "binge watching" a lot of them in the last days and now, my wife an I are wishing for 2 things: 1- taste your cooking and 2- become your students. You are not only a great chef but an even better teacher. Both of us have been cooking for decades (though we are no professionals, just lvl 2 chefs ;) )and, because of your channel, there are plenty of little thing we realise we can do to improve our skills even in as simple a thing as poaching an egg. It's just a shame that we live too far to take one of your class (we live in Quebec Canada). Maybe someday we'll be able to see you in a meet and greet event. Thank you again and hope you'll keep this channel alive for a really long time.
I butchered eggs before...I just poached them for the first time successfully! Haha! This guy is awesome! Thanks!
Poached eggs are amzing! Mom would make poached egg on buttered toast for me when I was a kid. So good.
When I was a wee tyke my mom would break up a few slices of bread into a coffee mug then drop a poached egg on top of it as a breakfast. I was never really in love with them but just seeing Frank's poached eggs is making me want to make that dish.
My mom did this too. We called it egg in a cup. I haven’t had it since I was a kid.
@@ProtoCookswithChefFrank Yeh, that's what my mom called it too!
@@ProtoCookswithChefFrank Never heard of that before! Sounds good ^_^
Wow, Frank you're such a cool guy, so handsome aaaand a great cook! Your wife is a lucky lady (and I'm sure you are lucky too to have her). Said will a lot of respect, a fan 👍🏽😊

Made this for my wife this morning!
She absolutely loved it - of course on an avocado toast with my first ever selfmade Hollandaise (no kidding) :p
Fantastic!
Followed the instructions. Made my first two poached eggs. Nailed it first time. Merci Chef.
This is the best method on poaching eggs. It eliminates waste. The vortex method wastes a lot of egg whites.
Commenting to help pull you up in the algorithm. I do a vortex without vinegar, but I can't deny you had a good result. It makes me further appreciate when you say you've seen a lot of people do different things, so the viewer should try several things and find what works for them.

Anybody else noticed how fast his channel is rising lately? He really deserves it!
Best channel on the internet
Thanks for the recipe frank. I admire your cooking. After this pandemic, I would travel from Egypt to eat at your restaurant.
Those 101 videos are a godsend. As a hobby cook, I always love to try things but I'm terrible at actual technique, simply cause I never really learned it and on most channels, you never learn the why you should do sth, just that you should do this or that.

Thanks! 😃
What's the boiling point of water in celsius?
Hmm, if only it was some easy to remember number.
Hmm yes, I wonder what they based the Celsius scale on, since Fahrenheit is a bunch of odd numbers, certainly the metric scale with all it's 0-100s will be outrageous to understand, so let's not bother with it.
Honestly, I prefer reading temperature in celsius since it makes so much more sense than Fahrenheit. The metric scale should've been implemented years ago but we Americans just have to be different 😑
Surprised a professional chef doesn’t know water boils at 100 degrees celsius but hey this is America after all
@@davidblindell2451 Remember, right angles boil at 90°. Also no more second degree for you !
100C
He meant the celsius conversion of the temperature he wants the water to be, which he says is not boiling.
I was taught how to Poach eggs the same way in a rondeau in technical college. I always had my water too hot and learned that the bubbles blow the egg whites around and make crappy looking eggs.

Personally, I think a normal poached egg works just find in most cases, but a fried one is definitely worth a try.
Always a pleasure.
Poached eggs on toast is my favourite quick meal to make, but I never managed to avoid the wispy bits until now. Thanks Chef!
I've tried so many complicated techniques, i'm so happy to see an easy one! Thank you for all your greats vidéos, they always bright my day up!
Frank has his own channel!? This makes me so happy :-D
I love your videos. Watching them really gets me in the mood to try to cook new foods, and you make really intuitive videos that make it even easier to do so. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I only tried poaching eggs once, and it was with the vortex. I cant wait to try this. Looking much simple.
good luck
I admit I was a bit intimidated by eggs Benedict and so I never made it. Between this video and the hollandaise one, I'm on board with giving it a shot now! So good!
The best method i've ever seen!
Hey Frank,
Greetings from germany :D
I love your Videos, and now that you ad the metrics its even better. Keep up your great work
I learn much every time I watch Frank. He's very talented.
One I already knew, and did right! Lol thanks chef Frank, nicely explained.
Tried this technique, came out perfectly! Thank you!!! Keep these videos coming

AAAHHH YOU HAVE A UA-cam CHANNEL IVE BEEN WANTING THIS FOR SO LONG!
I love this method. Poaching eggs always seemed so daunting before. The first two were terrible but the rest turned out to be pretty good.
Only discovered this chanel this morning - it is awesome! I am already looking forward to learning more!
Welcome aboard!
Perfect simple explanation, Chef, your channel was the discovery of the week =)
I like how you go for the simple methods you feel comfortable and explain them with passion.
Cheers!
Ok. I’ll brave this tomorrow. Thanks for the culinary courage!
You made this the day after I attempted to make poached eggs for breakfast tacos 😂. Well, now I’ll know how to do them properly!
Thanks chef i like your method best of all no fuss no mess
I was so delighted when i found out you had a channel!! Subscribed and eager to learn!
Awesome! Thank you!

I’ve always had an egg allergy so I never really ate eggs my whole life, however I still enjoy learning from these.
That's great!
perfect video! I like this type of "teaching the basics" videos
Great video, could you talk about food safety in the future pls?
Thanks Chef! Poaching as always intimidated me, but I will definitely give a try tomorrow! I love your 101 series, learning techniques and the basics are the things I like because it opens up alot of recipies :)

Alton Brown is more specific about EVERYTHING. That’s why he talks so fast. He’s got to cram all of that information in. He leaves no stone unturned.
Just use really fresh organic eggs.
All right, that does it. I can't let eggs bully me anymore! This weekend for breakfast I'm gonna forge ahead with my southwest bennies and poach, poach, poach my eggs to perfection!
This is super useful, thank you!!

Love the video, Chef! Your candidness really shines through, providing a great contrast to the fancy-schmancy cooking we see in Epicurious. Love the Celsius humor, too!
What's your opinion on putting the egg into a cold water bath immediately after poaching?
here from epicurious! nice channel frank

What kind of potatoes do you use , and do you peal cut and soak them first?
Before the video started, I subscribed! Frank has his own YT channel? We are not worthy! ❤️

Hey Frank, can you make some videos to show some realistic and simple recipes? Or simple tricks for lazy cooks? Like putting a bouillon cube while the rice is cooking, or making a simple spaghetti with just tomatoes, cheese and onions?

Hi Frank! Love your videos!
Thoughts about the ATK technique of putting the eggs in a colander to strain out the liquid part of the whites?
