I love eggs.
This morning, I decided to learn to poach eggs. It turned out pretty well. I didn't do the vinegar in the water trick or the "mini-vortex" trick, so the white dissipated some. Next time, I will also use a soup ladle to lower the eggs in the water instead of a cup or spice dish.
Anyone else got good ways to cook eggs?
What's the mini-vortex trick?
I definitely add vinegar to the water ever since I read about it in Southern Living, but I'm entirely lazy in the morning and want to cook eggs as easily as possible. Basically, I just pour in some vinegar without measuring, don't let the water rapidly boil, and try to time the eggs given the time it takes for my toaster to produce the best slice of toast it can. Unfortunately, my timing method doesn't automatically work with other toasters and their idiosyncrasies. Can anyone confirm that the egg into a cup and then scooped into the water is inherently better? That's a whole cup I'd have to wash, plus it adds entire seconds onto the egg entering the water time.
