1 farm fresh organic egg
8 cups of water or more
1 tablespoon of white vinegar or more
2 teaspoons of salt
Egg freshness doesn't matter more than when you are poaching one. Frying, scrambling and hard boiling techniques are fairly easy on the structure of the egg. Dumping one into a pot of boiling water is a whole other story. So if you are going to poach eggs, use very, very fresh ones that are organic. If you don't, you will be disappointed by the results. Now, using your fresh egg, crack it and place it in a bowl that will make it easy to pour.
For whatever pan you use, you want at least 1 1/2 - 2 inches of depth with your water. My sauce pan took 6 cups.
For every 4 cups of water, you want to add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Don't worry, I have a trick on how to remove the vinegar taste once it is cooked. See, the vinegar helps keep the egg together. Without it, it will get all ghosty and break up a bit in the boiling water.
Bring the water to boil and then reduce it so that it just simmers. Once you achieve that, spin the water with a spoon, creating a whirlpool affect. Watch my video on how to do this.
Gently deliver the egg into the water and let it cook for about 3 minutes or so if you want yolk runny. Cook it for 5 minutes if you want if firm.
Once it is done cooking, transfer the cooked egg to a bowl of iced water. This stops it from cooking if you wanted the yolk runny.
Heat four cups of water and 2 teaspoons of salt over a medium-low heat so that it is just warm. Transfer your poached egg to the salt bath and warm it for about 30 seconds. This will remove the vinegar taste and warm the egg up for serving. This is especially helpful for when poaching large quantities for brunch.
Enjoy!

When my girl saw me naked for the first time ;'(
***** lmao
Weapon of mass construction HAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH That was great hahahhahahaha
perfect comment
LOL
I've been poaching eggs for nearly 50 years and love them. A couple of things; I never rinse them as I don't find the tiny bit of vinegar to change the flavor noticeably. Also, you didn't give these folks who have never poached an egg any times. They need that. I do two to four minutes depending upon the size of the egg. A very small egg would be two min., a large egg three minutes (my usual) and an extra large egg I would give four minutes. Great video and very helpful
Cheryl Houghton thanks, I too like a little vinegar, so I’ll probably skip the ice bath. Looking forward to trying this tomorrow morning!
thx
bruh thats your opinion, dont tell others how to do something if its based on your opinion
@@cg7240 Experience NOT opinion.
An ice bath? For a f****n egg? Way too complicated. Just throw an egg in hot water for 4 mins. Job done, every time.
LOL
If you don't cool it down after it cooks the yolk will continue to cook and won't be runny
Only if you're not going to eat the for quite a while. I cook them and eat them and they're nice and runny.
Cheryl Houghton LOL put dem eggs on ICE!!!!!
lol
damn! it's quicker to defuse a bomb than this
lets test that theory. you do the bomb and i will poach the egg
try doing it with no vinegar and no salt in the water, just put the egg/eggs in the water WITH the cup , that way the egg/eggs take the shape of the cup and the white doesn't disperse.
Thanks for the tip
i thought this channel was cooking while high lol
I am high and was trying to find out how to cook a poached egg and I came upon this guy
+Chris Reid same here hahaha
+ed “svnx” c it didn't turn out as well as his
+Chris Reid mine did, used apple cider vinegar
ed c
This is really great! I love making poached eggs but am always looking for tips on how to make them fluffier. Thanks for the bonus tip at the end on how to make a bunch of these for a brunch, I bet that's what the restaurants do to have them on standby!
+SylverWinged you are welcome. Please subscribe if you haven't already. Thanks for watching!
I'll have you know that poaching is considered a felony in the United States of America, and most other places. If you do not remove this video I will alert the authorities.
Lol
Uberanium At least doing it stoned is okay in several states.
LOL
Know what this is too much work for a poached egg.
Rue Stahl My thoughts exactly. How to make a simple snack into a half hour ordeal!!
+Rue Stahl Yes! I mean, I can kind of see that poached tastes better than soft-boiled (although I personally dislike the water that tends to cling to and inside poached egges), but this is far too much work (for me anyway).
+YensR Yes, it is too much work doing it this way, but if you skip all the unnecessary steps you will still have a perfect poached eggs. Skip the vinegar and 'ice bath' and salt (unless you like salted eggs. add or you can cook it first and add as you would to an egg no matter the way it's cooked. Just fill the water in a pan like he does, and crack an egg into a cup or small bowl like he does, yes, stir the water (while it simmers) and drop the egg(s) in until the white part is cooked all the way, like he says. That's it. You can make some toast and tea or coffee while the egg(s) cook (the egg will continue to spin, though it will get slower, but still, it works so that the egg isn't all in little bits or spread out across the pan in water, and you're done. It's no more difficult than soft boiling them (or frying over easy) -- that is, IF you just skip those steps, such as adding ingredients to the water and all.
+Rue Stahl There's cooking, and pro cooking. Pro cooking is always a pain, and you generally don't wanna do that unless you're getting paid.
+Rue Stahl just ignore anything after making the egg....you DON'T taste the vinegar...trust me.
Wow that was great I can totally do this! I always just do my regular scramble for eggs Benedict but today for Easter I wanted to do it right. I don't know why I thought poaching was so much more difficult but I can totally do this thank you!
Welcome!
I just made a perfectly poached egg thanks to this video!!!! Thanks so much! I will definitely look up some more of your videos!!
You're welcome!
Thanks MUCH, dude. 55 years old and I've never poached an egg in my life! Yet I LOVE eggs benedict - which is what I'm going to try my hand at for the first time ever - in about 1/2 hour!!! Your detailed instructions were PERFECT! Thanks again!
Awesome!
Oh I see!! So the swirling motion does the trick!!! Okay I am trying this tmr!!
Awesome!

Awesome!
It shows
I cooked my first poached egg to these instructions but only added a couple of splashes of vinegar and it worked perfectly :D thank you so much :))
Awesome!
Great video! Just tried it and mine came out excellent. Thanks man
Love hearing that!
I only just had my first poached egg today and it is DELIGHTFUL!
it is a fav. I love it on salad, then i have salad for breakfast!
Hey just to let you know i started doing what you said in 2013 just finished all the steps and i must say yum yum
Oh wow! Good to hear.
Another great video! THANK YOU!!
Thx!
remember when namjoon dressed as an egg for Halloween ???

Classic..Classic French cooking.
Thx!
wow...how to make a easy thing totally complicated..BRAVO professor
LOL, thx!
It worked!! I tried it this morning...just had to drop by to say thanks!
Awesome!
Hi Jerry, Thanks I will go and try that now!
Awesome!
This method produces very messy looking eggs. When i was a lad my mother had an egg poacher that was just four little tin cups that fitted into a circular base. There was a handle in the middle and lowered the base and cups into hot water and it produced perfect poached eggs every time.
But those devices are often aluminum -- big threat for Alzheimer's disease if used over a long time.
Thanks for the tip!
The phrase cooking stoned is a little misleading
We have been rebranded
Lol
Andromeda Studios How long do we boil the eggs for
Now I'm working in evening shift. ....management changes my schedule. ...even though I like the way u poached eggs... ....I was late every day at morning work due to cooking. ...I'm happy !!!
LOL
like the trick in the end with the ice bath.Thank you!
Thanks!
This video looks EGGCELLENT!
LOL
i always used a poaching pan with the egg cannisters, but the yolks came out hard to get the white cooked, or sloppy whites to get a runny yolk. just tried your method and it worked a treat, cooked whites and a runny yolk, nice one cooking stoned
Thx!
Yay pre made a bunch of these when hosting a breakfast and warmed them when everything else was ready and impressed everyone with the amount of eggs i had "suddenly" poached whilst cooking all the other stuff. Cheers. Also great with a salad, had never tried that
Awesome!
I can't help but agree with the comments... too complicated.... the reason that the egg tastes like vinegar is because you put in a tablespoon of vinegar. Try boiling water, add in a teaspoon (maybe even less) of vinegar, dash of salt, add the egg, turn off the fire, cover pot for 3.30-4 minutes. Take out. Perfectly poached eggs! Simples!
ok
ive heard of poached eggs for years but this is the first time ive ever seen what it looks like
me too
+Acedia thanks for watching
No one is going up talk about how he looks like the guy from toy story
Jessica Scott 😂😂😂 Als toy barn
Umm... LOL???
He's SO right! A poached egg on a salad is incredible. I've been making them for years. I toss mixed greens, thinly sliced tart apples, pecans or walnuts, dried cherries or dried cranberries, a light vinaigrette, crumbled goat cheese, or whatever your favorite...then basically whatever you like, just before topping the salad with a warm, runny, poached egg!
right? it is delish.
Brilliant technique and tricks
Thank you!
there is no WORD perfect in cooking!!!!!
ha
Wow 'how to poach a perfect egg in about an hour"
lol
I TRIED THIS AND MY EGGS CAME OUT FUCKED! I BLAME YOU!!!
why him? if its your fault, blame yourself
I blame you now.
wow, blaming others for your own faliure, thats so low
I just fucked up another egg thanks to you!
But im not the one who screwed it up
i cooked poached eggs for the first time today (about 10 minutes before watching this video) but they turned out pretty good, i did learn a few better tricks on how to do it after watching this vid tho so thanks lol
Thank you!
Thanks, really helpful video - it turned out great!
Thx!
swirl trick is genius!
Thanks
This worked great for me, thank you!
+Joe Borrelli thanks for watching
I was following him right up to the point where he told me to boil the water, then I got totally lost. Damn it.
lol
Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome!
You make it look so easy.
Thx!
you mentioned good tips to make perfect egg benedict; appreciate it !!! will try it definetly... Tx.. :):)
Thanks!
It's amazing how simple it is to poach an egg but no one recipe on here is the same! I go with those who boil water in a pan with a little salt, swirl the water a little, place the egg in the pan from a small dish and allow the egg about two to three minutes on the medium heat, take out with a slotted spoon. Eat with buttered toast or ordinary bread and butter - quite delicious
I just tried this method and it was delicious! Thanks!
:-)
i love it im trying it now.... thank you very much...
You're welcome!
That looks good, Gerard...
thx
i didnt know this method of egg preparation existed thanks
Most welcome 😊
I just want to let you know how much I fucking love you. Eggs Bennie is my life and I was making poached eggs in a muffin tin like a fool for days. Now my poached eggs are amazing and worked the first try. 🙏🏻
AWW, Thanks!
i really love this thank you very much
+Alyssa Borromeo thx for watching
Thanks for Sharing👍
Welcome!
i put vinigar and salt in the same saucepan, apparently iv nailed it lol also its timing, i think around 3-4 minutes is a good runny egg but i always set my timer on for 5 minutes cause i like mine half hard, but thats also a good tip, poach a bunch of eggs, set a timer and pull an egg out every now'n'then to see if its what u like, when u have the perfect egg remember the time it too to cook and ur set,
Thanks for the tip.
I love your vibe
Thx!
nice tip i learned,make sure your eggs are at room temp,always store your eggs out of the fridge.
Thx!
this really the only way to properly poach an egg with delicious and consistent results. I made the best eggs ever this way. I tried sousvide once but the results were terrible. I don't rinse off the vinegar as I like the flavor; i grew up eating vinegar on my eggs and fries.
you can just heat water to 60-65 C and leave an egg in there for 30 mins, depending of the size of the egg, you end up with a poached egg in its shell, remove the shell and you'll have the most aesteticly pleasing egg. this is the easiest way, no vinegar taste and more consistent as this method
Thx!
wow, great method!
Thanks!
Oh man I am getting late for work, can't do these steps for ages to just poach an egg!
try this ua-cam.com/video/4CLcOeZMhcs/v-deo.html
Anyway I liked how you did it well..gonna try it now !
don't take those -ve comments so wrong.. they just want the simplest way still this one's best
well thanks.. good one
Yah, that is why I didnt say it was simple haha thanks!
There are 2 parts to the white or albumen. If the eggs aren't farm fresh there will be more of the runny watery part. Straining this before hand will produce cleaner results. Great vid btw!
Thx!
I don't add vinegar and it seems to work fine and you only need to cook it for 3 minutes and it comes out perfect.
some need it.
The vinegar is important because it helps cook the egg white faster leaving the yoke runny as intended.
Yup!
I agree - too many steps, but thanks for sharing.
You're welcome
thank you
You're welcome!
I love the name of the show, it puts a joking twist on things
Thx!
Thanks!
Welcome!
helpful! Found you don't really need to remove the vinegar taste though. I love vinegar so maybe I'm biased
YAY
😚omg! you are awesome! I came here to learn how to poach an egg but I enjoyed the comments and ur replies much better!😂😂😂 keep up your energy! subscribing !thanks for the laughs!😂
+do shi thank you so much
Does the taste/smell of vinegar stay with the gorgeous poached eggs?
Not really
It was perfect!! Thank you! :) you should try to put couple of those eggs in plate with greek yogurt mixed with salt and garlic... pretty decent meal! :D
Yum
I'm curious what region you're from - I only know a few people who say "aig" for egg, and haven't figured out what regional dialect that descends from! Do you know?
I like the video a lot - it's not actually a lot of complicated steps, it's a few simple ones and I appreciate that you explain them thoroughly and slowly. :)
***** thanks Jerry! Yeah a couple of my most beloved relatives have that piece of an accent too, I don't think they know quite where it came from either. I too have a lot of family from the midwest, but of course there's North Dakota/Minnesota which are way different from Ohio and all quite different from Missouri... but I'm always curious about dialects and language, thanks for the clue!!
that's how we say it in southwest PA .. i didn't notice anything wrong until i read all the comments
***** haha possibly.. people all over say we have a strange accent. I made these this morning btw.. turned out nice
***** My fiance says "aig" too!
John Paulsen i'm from chicago and i'm pretty sure i say "aig" too
Making this noooowww! Looks fab lmao 😂🍳 First time poaching & also, new subscriber 😉
***** they turned out great! My hubby was very pleased!
Thx!
I was with you until the warm salt bath. I've never tried that before, thanks!
You're welcome
Came to learn to poach eggs, was disappointed when it was just about cooking them :(
lol what?
Poached "Ayg"
lol
Yes I know what you mean, that often happens, You learn something every day :)
Thx@
Shades of Rube Goldberg! Poach that egg and smother it in Tabasco. You're done.
LOL
This.....is a lot of fucking work for 3 lousy eggs... Fuck it I'll just have cinnamon French toast crunch cereal
ok
In spite of the language 😂😂😂😂😂
Cool Treck you did there with your aigs
LOL
wow i do love poached aygs
+scrazza this trick makes it super full proof
I am compelled to post a comment. Truly disappointed with all the negative comments, complaining as if the host somehow "wronged you" by putting this video out, who cares anyway? although, I am glad to see a lot more likes than dislikes.
Great video Jerry, you have enough info in here to poach an egg well, I will try, and the timing also was pretty obvious, you don't have to be the sharpest knife in the drawer to get it
+Khalid Rahim thank you.
"Ah got ayg pieces on mah spoon"
LOL
this is the first vid of yours i have seen-you dont seem stoned lol-maybe i gotta watch more!
I'll never tell!
It is only a poached egg stop doing all of these steps
Ok
Ok, why put vinegar in the water when it ruins the flavor of the egg? I've done both and the vinegar seems to do nothing but ruin the flavor of the egg.
I've not found that to be true. Try them, both ways. It really does nothing noticeable, in my experience.
But your cooking your food in plastic heated to over 200 degrees. I try to reduce my exposure to plastics, especially in my foods. Does this concern you?
I agree with you. I've used old eggs, fresh eggs, vinegar, no vinegar, and the only difference I've found is that the white of old eggs doesn't come together as neatly without the vinegar. That said, I find the vinegar toughens the egg's white, which spoils the texture a bit. I would rather sacrifice some egg white but, I can understand some people feeling differently.
FRESH PRINCESS You don't need to add vinegar at all it's a wives tail
But that doesn't mean it works. Old cooking lore dies hard. Here's an example: you know that 'bitter' green sprout in the garlic? It renders the garlic more nutritious. Would anyone be able to detect the bitterness? No.
Some old European techniques need to give way to science.
All i use is water and salt.. works fine for me :)
ok
Can't we all just get along?
Apparently not. :-)
so how long do you poach the egg in the water before taking it out? great video btw :)
A few minutes
Save yourself all this extra work. Crack your egg into a civ and strain off the excess watery white . Heat your saucepan to a simmer and place egg and in keeping it in the civ while gently moving it. Done!
ok
I do mine a different way and they come out better
Cool
Спасибо! давно ищу понятный урок.
Thx
I like that method for poaching an 'aig'.
LOL, thx!
When you are removing the vinegar flavor are you adding water to the vinegar water?
???
~use a poacher~
animal poacher?
~lol~no a egg poacher~they come out good and not messy~they been out for many moons~won't egg them in water~
~Hmm~ ~does~ ~that~ ~actually~ ~work~ ~all~ ~that~ ~well~ ~?~ ~I~ ~feel~ ~like~ ~you~ ~lose~ ~the~ ~pride~ ~of~ ~cooking~ ~when~ ~you~ ~take~ ~shortcuts~ ~like~ ~that~
Lové it bro
Thanks!
To everyone calling this complicated; in restaurants the first part of the vid is standard operating procedure, the only parts I disagree with is using a ramekin to put the egg in the water (unnecessary, get used to catching your fingers in the water and dip the shell), and the cooling process is obviously unnecessary for one person making a quick snack. This seems slow, because he's explaining the process in detail. It doesn't take this long. Also I wouldn't bother with all the measuring. If you don't try to do it by eye, you'll never learn.
thx
Good looking Aiggs..
Thx!
Wow! That's just way too much work for a poached egg. There is no need for vinegar or heating it a second time in salt. How long does it take you to make a cup of coffee? 45 minutes. Lol
ok
