Hi guys! For those of you who may be a little intimidated with making poached eggs at home, I hope today's tutorial will show you just how easy it is! You can store poached eggs for 4-5 days in the fridge (see more tips in the recipe post), so they're also great for meal prep! What's your favorite breakfast with poached eggs? xo - Lisa
Downshiftology have you ever heard about cooking several poached eggs using mini bowls in the pot? I know that it helps to maintain the spherical shape!
correct --- when finished, now it's only 35 more minutes, then its daylight (the next morning), ready to start all over again..... saving grocery money because no time to prepare lunch or dinner..... A great "weight loss" program.......😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had never made a poached egg before (I'm 53). Today, I wanted one for breakfast on some avocado toast, so I brought up this video, watched it, and followed this with absolute precision. I made one for me and one for my wife, and she and I agreed that they came out absolutely perfectly. We were blown away. My first two poached eggs EVER were as perfect as anything I've ever had at a restaurant. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Hi, I just felt the need to comment: I'm 27 and never learned how to cook properly, and this video made it EASY to make poached eggs. They were perfect, firm and tasty! This video is definitely one I'll be sharing with anyone else that thinks poached eggs are hard to make
I firmly believe that the easiest way to poach an egg is to wait until the hen is not looking, then poach the egg as quickly as possible from her nest.
This is the worst comment or pun or funny I have seen in my 20 years on CZcams. Please look into Switzerland laws and do us all a favor please for Jesus mother and Joseph sake.
I have never cooked a poached egg in my (61 year) life. I followed your directions this morning and they were PERFECT first time out! Suffice to say I'll be doing a lot more poached eggs. Thanks so much!
This channel is very inspiring.. I hope she keeps uploading because all these videos are so beautifully made and the content is very entertaining and educational
I lost my recipe and wanted a poached egg this morning. So, I turned to CZcams and found your video. It was not only what I was looking for, it gave me more. Thank you so much from my tummy!
This is exactly what you want out of a video on cooking. A quick explanation, pointing out possible mistake with a demonstration, and nothing drags on too long losing important points in filler.
It's 2am. I was getting the 2am munchies and wanted something to eat. Coincidentally I fell down the rabbit hole of cooking content, and decided to try and poach an egg for the first time ever. Followed this tutorial and it came out perfectly. Was my first time even having a poached egg and I couldn't be happier with the results.
Don’t you just just love someone who starts with “I sat poaching eggs in 200 different ways... so that you don’t have to...” Now that’s a professional! 🤗
I have never made poached eggs before and something told me this morning would be the day! I watched your video and was able to make the most perfect egg even without having vinegar on hand nor brand new eggs! Thank you so much for making such a short and sweet explanation!!
what's even better is I recored a silly video for my channel not even thinking it would work and I chose this video because the thumbnail looked DELICIOUS!! @@Downshiftology
Aside from the fact that she did all that experimentation for us, to get to the perfect way to poach an egg, she seems like an all-around great person, and one who would be good company for breakfast or any other meal. Not all CZcams presenters have that easygoing air.
"Use the freshest eggs possible." Finally my chickens are good for something other than being adorable! I can't wait to try this with eggs that popped out of a chicken like an hour ago 😂
You're so lucky to have your own chickens. I've thought about it but, where I live, we have too many raccoons and I'd be afraid they would find a way to get in and kill my chicks.
LOL. I fooled myself. I chose this video because I'm doing an experiment with the CZcams algorithm. But I ended up really enjoying the video and watching it all the way through. Now I think I know what I'm making my wife for Mother's Day breakfast.
I learned to cook from my mother. At 77 I’ve never made a poached egg. That will change very soon because my wife has requested one. Thank you for the nice clear instruction. Easy to follow and sure to produce a perfect egg.
I don't know why people would dislike this video. She's telling us what we should and shouldn't do to get a nice poached egg. I think it's worth the 7 minutes
I dislike it because eggs contain unhealthy protein and fat. And they contain menstrual remains of the hen. You may not want to believe it, but that's true.
@@Crazytesseract why is that important to the quality of the video? Why are you even watching a video on eggs if it doesn't interest you.? And by the way, your views are completely debunked by science. You would be hard-pressed to find anything as healthy and the perfect ratio of protein to fat than the humble egg. The biotin alone in the yolk is a precious commodity in the food world
I've tried dozens of recipes, even buying specialized electric poaching appliances. None produced the result I got from following your recipe. Thank you.
This is so perfect and finally I am getting the perfect poached egg...breaky or lunch meal prep looks a whole lot better now. 3 days worth for two and one little mess ... 30 sec re heat ..love it...thank you for making this video I appreciate you 😊 🙏
Man, finally a simple recipe. I hate it when people are like "This is one of the easiest recipes ever. First, get these 50 ingredients, prep for two hours, sacrafice a virgin on top of a vulcano, and then just season to taste. Voilà, super easy 500$ egg sandwitch!!"
I've made poached eggs in the past, but following your technique took them to the next level. I really think that "straining" the extra egg whites out and dropping the egg in the center of the swirl made ALL the difference. I some great poached eggs all thanks to your great video! Thank you!
🙂 Poached eggs on toast is my favourite weekend breakfast. But I use to find them a real pain to make. Took ages and often wouldn't work properly (broken, undercooked or overcooked) and it was difficult to get right. Nowadays, they come out absolutely perfect each time, as I have started to make them in my pie maker. I don't actually use it for pies anymore.....just poached eggs. I have a 4 pie maker. You lightly oil each hole, add a tablespoon of water, add an egg. Shut the lid and turn on for 3 minutes and 50 seconds, and hey presto.....perfect poached eggs. And if you oiled inside the press first, you simply wait for the machine to cool down, then wipe it down with a damp cloth.
Just made this for my wife as eggs on toast are her favorite thing and she said this was the best poached eggs she'd ever had. Thank you for presenting in a very understandable and easy to follow way.
Had no idea so many people were so "scared" of poaching an egg, it's actually very simple, I've been making them for almost decades at this point. I remember I once whipped one up for a friend and he was blown away that I could do it and that it was so good, said it was the best egg he'd ever eaten. He even told another friend about it later, "Dude she actually poached an egg, who does that? I've never seen anyone do that or eaten one outside of a restaurant, it was awesome"....lol so honored. But seriously, everyone should do it. Everyone should master all the egg cooking methods, eggs are the best. Try shakshuka sometime, it's amazing. And make it from scratch!
Poached eggs are a big favourite in our house, too. Even my husband churns them out as easily as making a pot of tea. Can't beat poached egg on toast for breakfast on a cold and wet day.
In my biotechnology classes, I had learned that a bit of salt helps protein dissolve in water; basically the protein becomes more "water friendly", hence dissolves easily. So this may explain why the albumin (egg white) goes out of wack in salt water; it is just finding it easier to interact with the water and hence can dissipate easier. However if you add the vinegar, the pH lowers and since proteins can only maintain their structure (in this case, the liquid nature of the albumin) in a VERY specific range of pH and temperature, the lowered pH along with the heat will help coagulate the albumin faster. THANKS A LOT FOR THIS VIDEO ma'am. Really helpful !
As you said. Never made a poached egg before but all ways order them at restaurants. Followed your instructions and worked perfectly on the first attempt. Thanks for posting!
I tried to make poached eggs before and it has ALWAYS been a fail. Until today! Today after watching this video, my egg didn’t break, didn’t boil or overcook and didn’t look like an absolute disaster. It was just perfect. Thanks for the great video!
This is one of the nicest "how-to" videos I've seen! I'm going to get up tomorrow morning, completely mess up trying to make some poached eggs, and go get some at the restaurant down the block.
😂😂😂.ive been eating my own made poached eggs every day for over 50 yrs. Put enough water to cover the egg, add a big splash of apple cider vinegar, boil medium to high, make sure the water bubbles over the top (i swirl it some to make sure my yolk is squishy, not firm). I just pour out the water while holding the egg in the pan w a spoon. Then slide it into the bowl. No probs but i've done it thousands of times.😊
After seeing her channel, I came to one conclusion that, she is not only good in cooking but also she is down to earth because most of CZcamsrs won’t reply in chat but she does
She hearted your comment, but did not comment to your comment in your comment section in the comment section of her video I hope that just confused you
Seriously, this is the first thing I did when making myself lunch. Instead of normal ramen noodles I topped it off with a poached egg to make it fancy XD
Out of all the videos we have watched, my students don't find you annoying in the slightest bit. In fact they find you quite delightful. One has even said they don't want to punch you in the face one bit. Thank you and keep up the good work. -Signed Mr. Maggard's 3rd block class, fall 2021.
One slice of a good Turkish bread, toasted. Spread avocado, S&P. Add warmed, smoked salmon. Cover with fresh, baby spinach leaves. Top with two poached eggs & crumbled feta. Exquisite!!
Yep, this is it. Did four eggs this morning. Three from an older batch, the fourth purchased two days ago. They all came out good, but the new one was much more substantial than the older three. Also found a gentle swirl works perfectly. Thanks!
Mine came out absolutely perfect. 3 minutes was perfect, runny yolks and totally solid whites. I’d never had poached eggs before and neither had my mom. We both loved them. Definitely won’t be my last time. I got more yolk cookin them this way then when I fry them and they weren’t over OR under cooked. My mom loved that they didn’t taste like oil and grease. This one’s going into my recipe book. 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻
I was a poached egg cook virgin. But today following your recipe to the letter, the egg and I did it in the kitchen. Now I feel king of the cooking world. I'll never be the same. I forgot to ask the egg's name. Oh well, next time.
I like using a large serving spoon to put the egg into the water which is in a skillet instead of a pot. A little something I picked up from my grandmother who cooked for a living...
I made poached eggs this morning for crab cake eggs benedict. I've never made poached eggs before. I absolutely nailed it on the first try following your instruction to a T! They came out absolutely PERFECT. Thanks so much for this video!!!!!
I just made this, and it was absolutely perfect! Thank you for this technique! Eggs are one of my top 3 foods, and I'll try any egg, any style. I will be making this again, often!
I've never made a poached egg before! Tried it out just now, very quick, straightforward and works like a charm. Used a saucepan, apple vinegar, electric stove, day old eggs - could not have wished for a better result.Thanks!
You poach an egg in the steam of boiling water, you can't poach an egg if you put it into the water, you'd think someone putting a video on the internet on how to poach an egg would know that.
@@mariaa.bryson8126 "That your comment was uncalled for!" ? I'm not sure I understand your point... Are you saying the cartoon face was because my comment wasn't called for? Do you know how to poach something? Like an egg or a fish? You understand when you poach something you don't put it into the water right? You understand that someone posting a "how too video" should know something about the subject right?
So glad I found this tutorial the other day! I made them this morning and they were came out perfect…the creamiest poached eggs I’ve ever had! I served them over roasted golden beets and asparagus 😋 kids gobbled it all
my Dad once made poached eggs after my brother told him to "add vinegar" our dad said the eggs "made me sick" I asked hoe much vinegar he added to the water? He said " About a cup..."
I learned how to do it from an Arabic friend. It’s called shallow pan poaching. Get a shallow pan, bring to boil, drop your egg and leave there for however long you want it.
It is content like this that makes me genuinely grateful to be alive right now. I might have never learned how to make a poached egg before, or had to spend weeks of time trying one persons' method with no evidence that it works or is practical! Here you teach flawlessly, engaging with "other ways" and presenting one, not as the best, but as the one you found to work. All in a quick, calm, beautiful way. Thank you!
Perfect!!! My family loves poached egg but the "freshest eggs possible" doesn't exist in my reality. Simple trick with the sieve solved the problem. Thanks so much. Please continue to share:-)
I just tried this. Magic. I started with the one at a time technique. I then did the swirl technique with multiple eggs. I went one at a time waiting for the initial outside set of the initial then subsequent additional eggs. I went to four. I know this will cause a difference in the “cookedness” in the eggs but not noticeable. I pulled the more set ones out first. Thanks for the video!
I have tried to make a respectable poached egg for more than 40 years with no success. It's always terrible. UNTIL NOW! I just made a perfect poached egg by following your method to the letter. Thank You SOOOOOOO much.
Me too. I want the design and location of all appliances in her kitchen. Please create a tutorial about the arrangement of your kitchen because it looks perfect and lovely. Thank you.
My poached eggs came out perfect thanks to you. I did use vinegar and swirled just in case. I placed them on top of smoked salmon and toasted English Muffin to make perfect Salmon benedict!
I never poached eggs until this morning after I watched your video and they came out absolutely perfect. I followed the recipe exactly as described. Thank you for trying out all approaches and sharing with us the winning combination 🙌
Yeah, 10,000 videos on 'masterclass for poaching eggs' on CZcams...I go on Amazon, search for 'egg poacher', find a nice Farberware egg poacher for $25 that looks MUCH like my Grandmother's did 60-years ago...scratch my head and wonder 'why are all these people making this so FRIGGIN' DIFFICULT?!?!?!
OMDog! I was one of those people who ate poached eggs in a restaurant only, not a home. With this method, I believe I can cook as many as I like, especially with the “warm up” feature (after ice water). One great result of the pandemic, for me, is the quality of the food prep videos I’m finding. Thank you for your diligence in finding what works for poaching eggs! Blessings!❤️
Absolutely brilliant. Have been looking forward to trying this for some time and wow. Amazing eggs cooked to perfection like we get at the buffet breakfasts at restaurants. Thank you very much. Perfect yolk at 3 mins.
I have watched numerous videos on how to poach eggs and never had them come out good. I followed your instructions to the tee, and I finally made the perfect poached egg! Just like I would get in a restaurant. I was skeptical and only cooked 1 egg, but next time I'll cook 2. I think the tip with straining the egg white was key missing step. Thank you!!!!

Well, being I have never cooked poached eggs before... I don't have the recipe as of yet :-)
Thx for that tip with egg whites seperating liquid ;) , Btw Guys If you havent vinegar you should do it without it , it works too
This is the answer from my childhood question, how could an egg restaurant be served like this?
Downshiftology loved your video😘😘😘😘😘😘
Your passion and work for food is really crazy......
Keep it up...

After you eat breakfast, you can spend the rest of the day washing dishes from your breakfast.

How was it
😂😂😂.ive been eating my own made poached eggs every day for over 50 yrs. Put enough water to cover the egg, add a big splash of apple cider vinegar, boil medium to high, make sure the water bubbles over the top (i swirl it some to make sure my yolk is squishy, not firm). I just pour out the water while holding the egg in the pan w a spoon. Then slide it into the bowl. No probs but i've done it thousands of times.😊
This is my first time doing poached eggs and they came out perfect! Thank you for your generosity sharing all your tips.
You’re a fantastic teacher and I love the science behind your work.
This is not a video for people that want poached eggs. This is a video for people that want perfect poached eggs. Great vid!
This isn't even perfect. Seriously I have seen better poached eggs in 3rd world steets.
After seeing her channel, I came to one conclusion that, she is not only good in cooking but also she is down to earth because most of CZcamsrs won’t reply in chat but she does
She hearted your comment, but did not comment to your comment in your comment section in the comment section of her video
I hope that just confused you

@@dotyanderson8428 That's because a question was not asked.
Thank you Lisa for putting the the effort to knock this cooking mystery to rest! great job! Love the video with its great details.
Thanks for this! i appreciate a how-to video that is clear, concise and above all, straight to the point without all the excess chatter.
Idk why but I would trust this lady with my life.
I am gonna say the same.
What a nice complement!
Do you trust her because she is organized and she knows how to cook

Thank you for sharing the method in so much detail. Really appreciate your effort and the recipe.
Out of all the videos we have watched, my students don't find you annoying in the slightest bit. In fact they find you quite delightful. One has even said they don't want to punch you in the face one bit. Thank you and keep up the good work. -Signed Mr. Maggard's 3rd block class, fall 2021.

One slice of a good Turkish bread, toasted. Spread avocado, S&P. Add warmed, smoked salmon. Cover with fresh, baby spinach leaves. Top with two poached eggs & crumbled feta. Exquisite!!
Yep, this is it. Did four eggs this morning. Three from an older batch, the fourth purchased two days ago. They all came out good, but the new one was much more substantial than the older three. Also found a gentle swirl works perfectly. Thanks!
I am so going to try this next time I have a spare 4 hours to prepare breakfast.
😂😂 you were being sarcastic and yet your comment got a like. 😂😂😂 silly may be she didn't read the whole of it.

Mine came out absolutely perfect. 3 minutes was perfect, runny yolks and totally solid whites. I’d never had poached eggs before and neither had my mom. We both loved them. Definitely won’t be my last time. I got more yolk cookin them this way then when I fry them and they weren’t over OR under cooked. My mom loved that they didn’t taste like oil and grease. This one’s going into my recipe book. 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻
I was a poached egg cook virgin. But today following your recipe to the letter, the egg and I did it in the kitchen. Now I feel king of the cooking world. I'll never be the same. I forgot to ask the egg's name. Oh well, next time.
I like using a large serving spoon to put the egg into the water which is in a skillet instead of a pot. A little something I picked up from my grandmother who cooked for a living...
I wish we could upload photos to the comment section, so we can compare how badly we all failed at this 🥴😂
Yes, and this is why we all move away from CZcams and now to Bichute. :-D
@HorizonGaming791 was bout to say that
I messed up so bad..
This is like, how to make a easy thing difficult
It seemed so easy but I ended messing up
I made poached eggs this morning for crab cake eggs benedict. I've never made poached eggs before. I absolutely nailed it on the first try following your instruction to a T! They came out absolutely PERFECT. Thanks so much for this video!!!!!
Not a soul asked
@@callumj2003 not a soul asked for your reply, your point ?
Humm crab cake Benedict's, I only have salmon and tuna. Sounds good to me.
crab cake eggs wow
I just made this, and it was absolutely perfect! Thank you for this technique! Eggs are one of my top 3 foods, and I'll try any egg, any style. I will be making this again, often!
I did it! Big fat smile on my face once I saw it perfectly shaped on my toast. Thank you ❤️
First time in 65 years that I’ve been able to make a perfect poached egg!! Many thanks!
65!?
I used your method, and my first ever poached egg came out perfect!!! Thank you!!!
Wonderful! Congrats Tom!
Well done : )
I think I'm going to give this a go too 🤞
Can't wait to do this! Your comment makes me excited that I can actually pulled this off in my own kitchen at home!
first timer tonight, cheers!
OMG- YOU ARE MAGIC. 25 years later I finally know how to poach an egg!
Following your instructions I've made perfect poached eggs from the first try. Thank you 😊
Yay! Glad it was a success 😊
I've never made a poached egg before! Tried it out just now, very quick, straightforward and works like a charm. Used a saucepan, apple vinegar, electric stove, day old eggs - could not have wished for a better result.Thanks!
You poach an egg in the steam of boiling water, you can't poach an egg if you put it into the water, you'd think someone putting a video on the internet on how to poach an egg would know that.

"That your comment was uncalled for!" ? I'm not sure I understand your point... Are you saying the cartoon face was because my comment wasn't called for?
Do you know how to poach something? Like an egg or a fish?
You understand when you poach something you don't put it into the water right?
You understand that someone posting a "how too video" should know something about the subject right?
IT WAS PERFECT! Since I didn't have Asparagus at home, I decided to do some avocado toast with the poached egg instead! It was literal heaven!!
not literal
Ha! I like the comments better than the videos when it comes to cooking. We all have our own way of doing things
@@Jaylade idk jenna, she hasn't responded. prob cuz she in heaven cuz she ded
@@Jaylade yes, literal, not physical
So glad I found this tutorial the other day! I made them this morning and they were came out perfect…the creamiest poached eggs I’ve ever had! I served them over roasted golden beets and asparagus 😋 kids gobbled it all
Yay! Glad your poached eggs turned out perfectly Alison 😊
Never seen the sieve trick, simple but very effective!
my Dad once made poached eggs after my brother told him to "add vinegar"
our dad said the eggs "made me sick" I asked hoe much vinegar he added to the water?
He said " About a cup..."
I'd rather say, ask ur mom the question
What does that have to do with it unless he drank the water?
Have a closer look 🤣
LOL!!! So funny!
😂😂😂
When cooking simple eggs takes more utensils and kitchen gadgets than the actual number of eggs.
Then stick to your usual scrambled or fried eggs!
No kidding. Let’s count:
1. Pot for water
2. Ramekin for each egg
3. Fine mesh sieve
4. Bowl for ice water
5. Slotted spoon
Keith Wilson 12M viewers is even more baffling.
@@keithwilson6060 Plus an unnecessary amount of energy used to heat a large pan full of water. Plus all the extra washing up. 😋
@@keithwilson6060 You forgot bowl under strainer to catch the white wispy liquid...
I learned how to do it from an Arabic friend. It’s called shallow pan poaching. Get a shallow pan, bring to boil, drop your egg and leave there for however long you want it.
It is content like this that makes me genuinely grateful to be alive right now. I might have never learned how to make a poached egg before, or had to spend weeks of time trying one persons' method with no evidence that it works or is practical! Here you teach flawlessly, engaging with "other ways" and presenting one, not as the best, but as the one you found to work. All in a quick, calm, beautiful way. Thank you!
Glad I could help! 😊
This is my first time finding your channel, are/have you been a schoolteacher? You seem like a professional woman!@@Downshiftology

The sifting method really helped! I made eggs benedict for my wife’s birthday today and it was my most non-disastrous attempt yet!
I have never tried it before. IT CAME OUT SO PERFECT!!! You're awesome, thank you!!
These eggs on a bed of potato fritters was divine this morning! Thank you 🎉 love from Scotland 🏴
Perfect!!! My family loves poached egg but the "freshest eggs possible" doesn't exist in my reality. Simple trick with the sieve solved the problem. Thanks so much. Please continue to share:-)
I love how you tried every technique and gave all these tips !! This is real life cooking and I really enjoy this 🥰 thank you !
Glad this was helpful Laura 😊
Thanks so much for sharing your tips, I made my first poached eggs today and they turned out wonderfully!
I just tried this. Magic.
I started with the one at a time technique.
I then did the swirl technique with multiple eggs. I went one at a time waiting for the initial outside set of the initial then subsequent additional eggs.
I went to four. I know this will cause a difference in the “cookedness” in the eggs but not noticeable. I pulled the more set ones out first.
Thanks for the video!
I tried it and it worked on the first try! I'm eating it right now
So glad to hear Monnie!
I put my egg in boiling water in a bowl for a min. or less, then crack it into the simmering water. The egg holds together perfect.
I need to try this!
Your hand must be made out of steel. Lol
Whitemilkenator I was thinking the same thing
If that works, it does make sense, then it is much easier.
Sheila Johnson, I tried it today didn't work at all, the shell stuck to the egg.
So nice to find a method that consistently works each time. Thank you!
I have tried to make a respectable poached egg for more than 40 years with no success. It's always terrible. UNTIL NOW! I just made a perfect poached egg by following your method to the letter. Thank You SOOOOOOO much.
I want her kitchen 🙄🙄🙄
I love my kitchen as well. :)

My poached eggs came out perfect thanks to you. I did use vinegar and swirled just in case. I placed them on top of smoked salmon and toasted English Muffin to make perfect Salmon benedict!
Yay! Happy to hear it Kim! :) x
I never poached eggs until this morning after I watched your video and they came out absolutely perfect. I followed the recipe exactly as described. Thank you for trying out all approaches and sharing with us the winning combination 🙌
Instant success, great video thank you!
how many dirty pans, bowls, utensils and surfaces to clean for a bounch of eggs XD
Lol true

Yeah, 10,000 videos on 'masterclass for poaching eggs' on CZcams...I go on Amazon, search for 'egg poacher', find a nice Farberware egg poacher for $25 that looks MUCH like my Grandmother's did 60-years ago...scratch my head and wonder 'why are all these people making this so FRIGGIN' DIFFICULT?!?!?!
Lazy 😂
But it tastes good
OMDog! I was one of those people who ate poached eggs in a restaurant only, not a home. With this method, I believe I can cook as many as I like, especially with the “warm up” feature (after ice water).
One great result of the pandemic, for me, is the quality of the food prep videos I’m finding.
Thank you for your diligence in finding what works for poaching eggs!
Blessings!❤️
Absolutely brilliant. Have been looking forward to trying this for some time and wow. Amazing eggs cooked to perfection like we get at the buffet breakfasts at restaurants.
Thank you very much. Perfect yolk at 3 mins.
I have watched numerous videos on how to poach eggs and never had them come out good. I followed your instructions to the tee, and I finally made the perfect poached egg! Just like I would get in a restaurant. I was skeptical and only cooked 1 egg, but next time I'll cook 2. I think the tip with straining the egg white was key missing step. Thank you!!!!
