How to Make a Poached Egg

Y'all know with a three-year-old at the house

I spend a great deal of my time doing a how-to. How to lift up the toilet seat, how to flush the toilet

how to turn off the lights, how to shut the doors, how to not tackle the dog

So I love doing this series of how-to. This is for the newer cooks and maybe some seasoned cooks

that have never done something like today it's a poached egg. It's going to be a how-to

but I've got some really interesting tips in here too. I've got some water. Now, it's important that it's at a simmer and not a boil

We want to cook this egg at a medium time, not a super fast time

And I've added one tablespoon of vinegar to my water. That kind of helps set everything up

I've got two eggs that are already done, so I'm going to show y'all how to poach an egg

Take a slotted spoon. I've got my simmering water. I'm going to get a vortex going

This is like swirly, swirly, swirly, swirly, swirly. This is when being amphibious helps me

I can use both hands. Egg goes in the center of the swirl

It's really the center that people are going to want to eat. Here's the cool tip

If you're making it for more than one or two people, I've taken my eggs that I've already done

and I've put them in an ice bath. Now I just take these, and I put them back down into the warm water

let this sit for just a few minutes, And voila, we've got poached eggs and everybody gets a warm egg

I love Eggs Benedict and I love sharing how-to's with y'all. Today, how to poach an egg
