How to make poached eggs
Kelly demonstrated the below method to make perfect poached eggs:
- Crack it into a fine mesh strainer. This allows the loose whites to go through and the firm to stay making, making your egg more uniform
- Put your egg aside and then get your water going
- Heat it to 180F, or 80C, or til it’s barely bubbling
- Swirl the water and then in the middle of this swirl, pour your egg
- Then swirl the water a little bit more because I like the shape it makes
- Once the whites form, lift the from the bottom of the pan so it doesn’t stick
- After two or three minutes, check the egg is cooked by gently tapping on the top, the yolk should jiggle but the whites should be set
- Put it on a paper towel and then serve

Poached egg tips
Use vinegar
Put a little vinegar in your poaching water. This helps the egg bind together, so it doesn’t split when poaching.
Use a small bowl
Put your cracked egg into a small bowl before poaching. This helps the egg to form and keep its shape while poaching.
Use fresh eggs
Fresh eggs will poach the best, so make sure you buy them as fresh as possible and poach them quickly.
Use a ladle
Crack the egg into a ladle and then lower the ladle into the water. Then, when the egg is cooked, simply lift the ladle gently out.
