Tips on Poaching Eggs
Some people struggle to make poached eggs for the first few times. A lot of the time this is because they are missing a ‘tweak’ on their technique.
- Make sure the water isn’t boiling – This will rupture the egg from setting nicely
- Make sure to add vinegar – Vinegar helps the egg set
- Whirl the water before adding the eggs – This will help the egg white wrap around the egg yolk
- Don’t add salt into the water – This is because salt breaks down the egg white
- Use the fresh’s eggs possible – Fresher eggs have tighter proteins and egg whites. This will help your poached eggs keep a better shape.
