Learn how to poach an egg in this quick video demonstration! Knowing how to poach an egg is one of the basic cooking skills that you probably should have if you like poached eggs. For full instructions, click here: With a couple of tiny tricks, they're really very simple, but have that magic quotient to them that gets people all swoony when you make them. The Learn to Cook book is now available at Here are a few bonus tips for poaching an egg in writing, too, in case you hate hearing me talk: 1. Use the freshest eggs possible. It will still work (meaning, they will still poach) with less-fresh eggs but they won't look as pretty. Fresher egg whites hold their shape better when poaching, making prettier, more compact and round poached eggs. Use old eggs and you'll end up with a weird spider-web effect in your poach. Tastes fine, yes, just ugly. 2. Acidify your water. I like using a little plain white vinegar, but lemon juice is fine, too. A little acid goes a long way in helping those egg proteins coagulate into a solid, instead of running all over like an amoeba. 3. Have your water just below a simmer. Use a thermometer if you have one to maintain it around 200- F. 4. Don't make a crazy-insane waterpark whirlpool in your pot. You don't really need to make a vortex or anything. Just give the water a turn, slip in your egg, and use a rubber spatula to help shape and form the egg as it cooks. 5. Crack the egg into a small bowl first. This is to avoid plopping the egg in and splashing hot water all up all over you, as well as to help keep your yolk from breaking with said plop. Just lower the bowl close to the water and slide it on in all easy-like. Depending on how cooked you like your yolks, let a large egg cook at around 200- F for 3 minutes and up to 6 minutes. Easy! With a little practice and a couple ugly poached eggs, you'll get this skill down in no time. HILAH COOKING: New Episodes Every Tuesday and Thursday!

I watched a couple other videos, but this was the most direct to get the job done and I appreciate it! You would be surprised, some people overly complicate a simple product. Mine were mostly cooked, slightly undone on the inside. I topped mine with diced grape tomatoes, basil, a tsp of hummus (vegetarian hollandaise) and S&P. Can't wait to make this again!

If you want your eggs to. stay a bit more uniform try lowering the egg and small bowl into. the water and gently letting it slide into the water. Dropping it in allows different parts of the egg white to touch at different times and seperate. A poached. egg should almost be like a little shere. with a yolk in the middle.

I gave you thumbs down, simply because there are muuuuuuch easier ways to do this and i dont like people being miss informed about things because they trust a name like -learntocookbook- when you clearly dont know better methods either. sorry wish you the best.

Thanks for your wonderful video. I translated this to my cook, who doesn't speak English and extremely happy to get proper poached eggs for my breakfast. Keep up the great work and for keeping your videos precise and fun.

Saw this recipe and made poached eggs for the first time today, and your instructions were perfect. The eggs were exactly how I wanted them. I was always intimidated by poached eggs but this was so easy. Thanks a ton!
reply

I did it! It worked using your method (but I stirred a bit more violently to make a spin)
I guess whenever I tried before I didn't cook it long enough. I liked that you said you go 4-6 if needed. It was perfect!

Looking for poached egg instructions and veered into some nice eye candy. Hilah, you are a hot beauty and did a nice job on the video. All the Phoebe comments are pretty funny. There is a good resemblance there.

Awesome instructional; followed this exactly- and it came out perfectly 1st try. Thanks for the vid!
-She didn't specify what kind of salt but I went with kosher salt

reply

also you don't need vinegar. the previous video I saw before this said vinegar helps to bond the egg but he never uses vinegar as your egg taste of vinegar.
