Steps:
- In a 12-inch straight-sided skillet, heat 2 inches water over medium until bubbles cover the bottom and sides of pan. Crack each large egg into a separate small bowl (do not use eggs with broken yolks). When a few bubbles have broken the surface of the water, gently pour each egg into the pan, leaving room between them.
- Cook eggs, undisturbed, until white is just set and yolk is still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to gently release eggs from the bottom of pan, if necessary.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs from water. If using immediately, blot the bottom of the spoon on a paper towel to remove excess water before serving.

Steps:
- Heat the water: Add enough water to come 1 inch up the side of a narrow, deep 2-quart saucier. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons white vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, crack 1 very fresh cold large egg into a custard cup or small ramekin. Use the handle of a spatula or spoon to quickly stir the water in one direction until it's all smoothly spinning around.
- TIP: Use this whirlpool method when poaching a single serving (one or two eggs). For bigger batches, heat the water, salt and vinegar in a 12-inch nonstick skillet and do not stir.
- Add the egg: Carefully drop the egg into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water will help prevent the white from "feathering," or spreading out in the pan.
- Let it poach: Turn off the heat, cover the pan and set your timer for 5 minutes. Don't peek, poke, stir or accost the egg in any way.
- Lift it out: Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Alternatively, move the egg to an ice bath and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Reheat in warm water just before serving.

Steps:
- Fill a medium bowl with iced water; set aside. Fill a large wide saucepan with about 4 inches of water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, so water is barely simmering. Break 1 egg at a time into a small heatproof bowl. Gently tip bowl into water, letting egg slide into the water. Using a spoon, cover yolk with some of the egg white; repeat with remaining 3 eggs. When eggs begin to become opaque, carefully transfer eggs using a slotted spoon to iced water to stop cooking. Trim edges with a small knife or scissors to create a uniform shape.

PERFECT POACHED EGG
I'm like many others when it comes to ordering breakfast at a restaurant. That's when I often order a poached egg. Many are intimidated to poach an egg at home. There are a few key tips that will head you in the right direction, and you'll be on your way to perfect home-poached eggs.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with at least 3 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce temperature to low--the water is ready when you see bubbles at the bottom of the pot, but there should be no bubbles breaking the surface of the water.
- Crack egg into a small-mesh sieve, allow it to drain, and then transfer the egg to a small bowl or ramekin in order to avoid a runny egg white. This step will give you a better-shaped poached egg with tighter whites.
- When water is at the right temperature, stir in about 1 tablespoon white vinegar which helps the egg white coagulate. Using a spoon, swirl the water in the center of the pot into a vortex or whirlpool, and carefully add egg to the center. Cook until egg white is set, but the yolk is still soft and runny, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook.
- Transfer the egg to a paper towel to remove excess water using a slotted spoon. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer to reach poaching temperature, between 160-180°F (71-82°C).
- Stir the water in a clockwise direction to create a whirlpool. Once the water slows down slightly, crack the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Let the egg cook until the white fully sets and the yolk is no longer runny, 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the egg with a slotted spoon, pat dry on paper towels, sprinkle salt and pepper (optional).
- Serve with your favorite breakfast items.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- If making ahead, prepare an ice-water bath fitted with a sieve; set aside.
- Fill a large straight-sided skillet with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add vinegar and return to a boil. Break one egg into a small heatproof bowl. Placing lip of bowl in the water, gently tip the bowl to slide egg carefully into pan. Use a large slotted spoon to fold the edges of the white over the egg, for a neater edge. Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Cook until whites are just set but the yolks are still soft, they should still move around inside, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Lift out eggs with a slotted spoon or small mesh sieve and briefly rest on bread to allow eggs to drain. Trim edges with a knife for a prettier presentation before serving on toast, if desired, and seasoned with salt and pepper.
- To make ahead, immediately place eggs in an ice-water bath to stop the cooking, then transfer to a bowl of cool water (it should just reach the tops of the eggs). If storing longer than an hour, place bowl in refrigerator (covered) for up to 24 hours. Reheat by briefly placing eggs in a pan of barely simmering water, just until warmed through. Serve on toast, if desired, seasoned with salt and pepper.
FARM-FRESH POACHED EGGS
Like the title says, these are farm-fresh eggs. The egg white on farm-fresh eggs are not watery, which leads to a cleaner looking poached egg. While this will work for store-bought eggs, you will need to strain off the excess liquid using a fine-mesh sieve.

Steps:
- Fill a wide pan with 4 cups water (about 3 inches deep) and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, turn the heat down to just below a simmer (there should be no bubbles).
- Crack eggs open into a ramekin. Transfer eggs into a soup ladle, and working quickly and gently, angle your soup ladle so the eggs slip into the water.
- Set a timer for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, use a slotted spoon to lift your eggs from the water, one at a time. Give each a little jiggle to check that the whites are set. If not, dip back in for 30 seconds more. Remove and serve immediately with salt and pepper. Your yolk should run when pierced with a fork.

- Boil Water. Use a nonstick skillet and bring about 2 inches of water to a boil. Step 2: Add Vinegar.
- Add Vinegar. Next, add a little vinegar. This keeps the whites from spreading too thin. It also adds a little seasoning. Then, reduce to a simmer.
- Prep the Eggs. Get small bowls ready for your eggs; this way the eggs will keep their shape and you'll be able to cook them all at the same time.
- Slip the Eggs Into the Water. Now, slip the eggs into the water one at a time. Work your way around the pan clockwise, so you know which eggs are done first.
- Cover the Pan and Use Gentle Heat. Cover the pan and turn off the heat. The key to poaching is a gentle heat that will give your eggs a firm white and a loose yolk.
- Time to Serve. In just 4 minutes, the eggs will be delicate and delicious — ready to serve. Carefully scoop them out of the pan, drain them and transfer them to serving plates.

- Use the freshest eggs. Egg whites turn runny with age, so the fresher the egg, the firmer the whites. Make sure to check the date on the carton before you buy.
- Use a ramekin. Crack each egg into a small ramekin or glass bowl. You will be able to see and remove any bits of shell, and if the yolk ends up getting cracked, you can dispose of the egg without dirtying your poaching water.
- Add a splash of vinegar. Vinegar in the poaching water helps keep the whites together; it firms up the proteins on the outer surface of the egg, making the egg rounder and the white less wispy.
- Don't drop the egg into boiling water. Dropping a raw egg into boiling water is the recipe for scrambled egg soup. Get the water hot by bringing it to a boil over high heat, THEN lower the heat until the water is just barely simmering.
- Set the timer. It doesn't take long to poach an egg. Cook for 2-3 minutes for soft yolks and about 4 minutes for medium to firm yolks. For hard cooked eggs, bump the cook time up to 5 minutes.
- Dry before serving. Remove the eggs from the poaching water with a slotted spoon so the water can drain off. Then, blot the bottom of the spoon onto a clean kitchen towel to remove any remaining water.
