    During our brunch rush I go through over 300 eggs just for poaching.
    As long as there is a little bit of vinegar in the pot, the water isn’t at a rolling boil, and if you give it a stir before dropping in all the poached eggs, that’s all you need. Remember to pull the eggs out before they look perfect because they will keep cooking for a few minutes
    I’ve dropped 20 eggs at once and they all come out perfect.
    That is a truly perfect poach but you can do the same without all the dishes, thermometer, and several utensils

    One tablespoon of vinegar helps the whites retain their shape and you don't taste it. You swirl in the vinegar, bring to boil, and swirl water just before you add your egg. It helps keep the eggs contained until it firms up. A lot of the restaurants here use this technique.

    So I'm going to let you all know a much better way to do this That's a lot easier. Crack your egg into a large metal spoon that is not slotted, or a metal ladle. Then simply lower the ladle or spoon into the water and keep it there while they cooks. It will slide right out formed to the shape of the spoon, perfectly cooked

    Chef here, I do breakfasts 2 times a week for the restaurant I work in, this is just waaaay to much, get your pan of water to a rolling boil, add some vinegar, we only have malt in the kitchen (so I keep a pot of water next to the pan to give it a quick wash to get the vinegar off) swirl the water and crack the egg into the centre, wait 4 minutes and boom perfect poached egg…..I can easily make upwards of 50/60 poached eggs on a breakfast service and I’ve never had an issue with my method

  • @karoshi2
    @karoshi2 Před 2 lety +12

    Poached an egg once for myself, just to try it. It worked wonderfully, beautiful and delicious on fresh toast. I was so excited!
    So I advertised it to the kids, they were sceptical. An egg cooked without its shell? But they gave me a chance... and I delivered ugly egg soup. ☹️
    Definitely have to practice and try again! Will try your method next time.

    Simpler way I saw recently. Two cups water, 1 cup vinegar. Put in six eggs. The fluid forces the white of the egg to consolidate around the yolk, so you can just spoon out the clearly intact white and yolk together, placing it right into gently simmering water. No separating, no strainers. Cook to the consistency you like. So easy.
