I cannot get perfect poached eggs.I have tried using poachers.
I've placed the eggs in boiling water in a saucepan but the white always
separates.
Someone said I should vinegar to the boiling water.
Any tips please?
If there is a world's worst at egg poaching, I claim the title - keep meaning to try this method. Ignore the cheffy 'truffle' reference, unless you fancy it of course.
I poach eggs 3 at a time. I use a frying pan and the water must be boiling with just a little shake of vinegar, crack the egg into the water very gently and that's all there is to it. Perfect every time!
im just after watching a programme 2 hrs ago on how to do the perfect poached egg.
1. fill glass with water, pop egg in , if it floats it is not fresh so wont make a nice poached egg. get a fresh one that floats.
2. do not boil water, bring to boil very vey gently.
2. gently stir.
3. add cider vinegar
4. pop fresh egg in, gently !!
5. stir a little , gently.
