How to cook poached eggs without breaking them

While the eggs are sitting, prepare the pot:

  • Use a deep pot to keep the eggs in shape.
  • Heat water without boiling vigorously.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and mix gently.

The vinegar helps the white coagulate evenly and wrap around the yolk without dispersing.

Step-by-step cooking

  1. When the water is hot and calm, bring the container with the egg to the surface.
  2. Slide the egg gently into the water, without dropping it from height.
  3. Do not stir the water, do not use a spoon and do not try to correct the shape.
  4. Cover the pot and let cook for about 3 minutes.

This method avoids nervousness and unnecessary interventions, which facilitates a perfect result even on the first try.

At the end:

  • Remove the egg with a slotted spoon.
  • Place it in a bowl of cold water or ice to stop cooking.

You can repeat the process with several eggs in the same pot, placing them one by one carefully so that they do not collide with each other. This technique is widely used when you need to prepare several servings at the same time.
