I made poached eggs for the first time. Turned out okay. They

They look nice.

I just make them in a cup in the microwave, no need to bother with boiling water or adding vinegar etc. They come out perfect every time.

How to?

>boil water
>take off heat and get it lower to a simmer
>add vinegar to the egg cracked in a little bowl
>two if you want
>make a vortex in the pan by swirling, not crazy but quite fast
>pour eggs into middle, it should wrap around it self might look shit at first but it should go okay with practice
>take out after 3-4 mins (might take practice to get the timing right) with a slotted spoon and cut in half

BING two poached eggs.

What's your timings? Microwave temps are even less consistent than boiling water, but for some reason every single time I've tried to poach eggs the whites immediately separate from the yolk before I even start.
But I also can't cook softboiled eggs. This week I've been trying boiling them for longer and longer. I'm at seven minutes and the whites are still liquid enough it falls apart peeling.

way to fucking runny. you should have cooked egg whites, cooked yolk and runny yolk.

you have runny egg whites and runny yolk.

fucking disgusting

should have flipped pic related for a minute so you could mildly cook the yolk whilst containing a runny centre

If anything they were slightly overdone.

Quit being a manchild.

fucking stop I'm figuratively starving.
I have a carton of eggs I've been meaning to do up but I can't softboil or poach so all I can do is fry.
I think I'm going to cook them all.

left looks perfect. right looks too runny and under cooked.

OP here. This is how I did it: 1 1/2 inch of water in a sauce pan. Heat until simmering. Add tbsp of vinegar (you can skip this). Drop eggs in and remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 4:30. Remove with slotted spoon (I used a pasta spoon.

I'll give the method a try and post my gory results after work. Thanks, bud.
