POACHED EGGS | how to poach an egg (perfectly)
Poached eggs are a beautiful thing. The whites are just firm enough on the outside to contain an oozy, golden yolk in a round little egg package. And they make for a delicious, healthy breakfast. With a few tips, you too can learn how to poach an egg perfectly every time!

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!
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... Love from India.😘😘😘😘
After you eat breakfast, you can spend the rest of the day washing dishes from your breakfast.
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.......😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Its not that many dishes
That's is how life is supposed to work. It takes effort not just drifting.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA SO MEEE
Me today in culinary class 😭
I've eaten worse than a poached egg that wasn't poached right LOL
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.
Great to hear your poached eggs turned out perfectly Kenny!
Lmfao wow just wow
I'm 61 and have never made a poached egg. After watching this GREAT demonstration, I'm ready!!
I’m gonna try these tomorrow for the first time😂 It’s about 2am rn and I’m craving poached eggs like crazy
pretentious
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
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! 🤗
Bless her heart. She suffered so we don't have to.
Man you are a eugene
First time on this channel and those words made me subscribe right away. Professional, hard working and way to go.
@@haralbi - same here.
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.
Glad this video was helpful for you 😊
I agree very informative and useful thanks
Exactly!
Would have been perfect with no music
alecthemad very true and an example recipe at the end really added to the video
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
4 years later and still helping beginners make it seem so easy! Your demonstration methods are next level! Keep making more videos!
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.
@Raktim Kalita lol
WUAJAJA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍 👍
@Thomast Tham Thanks :) I love playing with words and couldn't resist. lol

This is the worst comment or pun or funny I have seen in my 20 years on KZhead. Please look into Switzerland laws and do us all a favor please for Jesus mother and Joseph sake.
"Freshest eggs possible, ideally purchased that morning" Me: K. *heads outside and yells at the chickens to hurry up and lay*
🤣😂
Catch it as it plops out.
Noyce!
Funny but she obv meant store bought that day
HAHHAAHHAAHHA
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!!
Wonderful! Glad this method worked out perfectly :)
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
Worked like a charm
Thank you, Lisa, for saving us all the research time and effort so we can enjoy perfect poached eggs the healthiest way!
It’s 2 am and I’m suddenly excited to try to make a poached egg in the morning
did you succeed?

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 KZhead presenters have that easygoing air.
Thanks so much for your kind words! 😊 I hope this method works out for you and that you continue to learn a few new things from my channel.
I agree
I would happily wake up next to her and enjoy a nice poached egg for breakfast.
My hunger cant wait that long
Wonderful info… but I use my microwave and poach in a cup for less than a min… all done with a pretty shape❤
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.
I lost my recipe and wanted a poached egg this morning. So, I turned to KZhead and found your video. It was not only what I was looking for, it gave me more. Thank you so much from my tummy!
"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 😂
Train your chickens to lay eggs into boiling water, now thats a fresh egg 😂
@@nicolaysbunny1851 lol
You are so lucky . I love animals
Chicken 🐔 eggs are the best 👌. Good 4am morning
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.
It’s something to learn during quarantine
SO TRUE

LOL. I fooled myself. I chose this video because I'm doing an experiment with the KZhead 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've watched tonnes of videos on poaching eggs but this is by far the most helpful! Thanks x
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
It's one of the youtube's most guarded secret honestly.
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

So nice to find a method that consistently works each time. 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.
A pie maker? Brand? Got a link?
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!!"
Next up, avocado toast!
Yes!! That's what I see all the time too. Craziness. Just keep it, simple people!

Thank you for sharing the method in so much detail. Really appreciate your effort and the recipe.
Thank you Lisa for putting the the effort to knock this cooking mystery to rest! great job! Love the video with its great details.
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 !

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!
Following your instructions I've made perfect poached eggs from the first try. Thank you 😊

Never thought I would live to see the day a pair of scissors used on a cooked egg, but I love it.

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.
Love your spirit lol.
ahhh, if you follow the above demo you won't mess up and you will save some $. I am going to prepare this for hubby today for b-fast
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.😊
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 KZheadrs 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.
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...
This is my first time doing poached eggs and they came out perfect! Thank you for your generosity sharing all your tips.
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.
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. 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻
Thanks so much for sharing your tips, I made my first poached eggs today and they turned out wonderfully!
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.
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

My first time poaching an egg was in ramen, I straight up cracked the egg and dropped it straight in. Somehow came out almost perfect
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!❤️
Excellent ! Thank you for all your sharing, tips and results.
Love it! The perfect poached egg at last. Thank you.
I remember my mother making poached eggs when I was under 10 years old. I vaguely remember her using a metal utensil that was shaped like a round spoon bowl with the egg in it. She used the steam of the boiling water to cook the egg in the spoon bowl turning it to a poached type egg. I wish I could get a hold of one of those utensils. It made awesome poached eggs. Maybe you might know what It was. Thanks for the lesson.

My lady does poached eggs for breakfast almost every morning. Our eggs are still warm from the hen. No straining needed. Fresh is best for sure.

Your advice is very good though, for those who aren't able to access truly fresh eggs.
