- Jamie and I are taking this isolation thing
very, very seriously.
- What?
(rock music)
- Hey everybody.
Welcome back to The Average Kitchen.
Marc with a C here.
So I came up with an idea of a one v one
poached egg challenge.
Here's how it works.
I'm gonna a poached egg here in my kitchen.
Jamie's gonna cook a poached egg in his kitchen.
We're both gonna video tape it.
He's gonna do some cool editing,
blend them together,
and we're gonna be looking for feedback
from all of you to let us know who did a better job.
So, let's see if Jamie's got more than editing
and filmmaking skills.
Let's see if he can actually cook.
Let's go!
- Hey guys.
Welcome in a different average kitchen,
The Average Kitchen Two, my kitchen.
So Marc's throwing down the gauntlet here.
He's bringing the heat in during this isolation.
He tells me, let's do battle!
All right, I'll do a battle.
The first one he said he wants to make a poached egg.
I feel like he's insulting my intelligence
with a poached egg.
It's such an easy thing, a poached egg.
But now I gotta figure out what a poached egg is.
- There's everything I need
to make two perfect poached eggs.
Got a teaspoon of vinegar,
a balloon whisk, some water and some salt.
Let's hope Jamie knows what he's doing.
(upbeat music)
Okay, now it's time to get down to business.
So what I have is two eggs
that I pre-cracked individually into small ramekins.
It's really gonna help to slide those eggs
into the boiling water.
We're gonna make some poached eggs.
Let's go.
(rock music)
(buzzer beeps)
Okay, we got water boiling.
We'll pour in my vinegar.
Now here's the trick and the key.
I let it create.
And we're gonna take our egg.
Turn down the heat slightly.
And then we're gonna cook that for 90 seconds.
(upbeat music)
(timer dings)
- Okay, so I've figured out how to make a poached egg.
So I'm gonna show you my poached egg recipe.
At least the one I found how to make.
Just need three things.
So first we got the egg here.
Got some salt.
And got some white vinegar.
You have two teaspoons of white vinegar,
one teaspoon of salt,
and how ever many eggs you make.
So let's just go over to the stove here.
So I already got the water simmering here.
Make sure there's only about an inch of water
in the pan as you can see,
well you can't see an inch but it's about an inch in there.
Now the trick here is we're gonna get the water spinning.
We wanna get the water spinning in one direction.
And then once you're comfortable that it's
actually spinning in the one direction,
we're just gonna slip the egg in here.
Let's see if this works.
Okay.
That's gonna keep it from spreading out in the water.
Now that we're in there,
can you get a shot of that?
We're gonna turn the heat off.
We're gonna cover the egg.
And that's good for five minutes.
- All right, round two.
Here we go.
I grabbed a bigger whisk actually.
I think that's gonna help a little bit.
Give that a spin.
Pour the egg in.
Let it go.
Okay.
Moment of truth.
This is the part you don't wanna screw up.
I had a little bit of a malfunction with my pepper mill.
(buzzer beeps)
One. Two.
Okay, that part was a little tricky.
Give it a little bit of pepper flakes.
And maybe a couple of green onions.
Trying to make it look,
oh I dropped those.
So, here comes the fun part.
Let's cut into them.
(rock music)
Okay, there we have it.
Two poached eggs.
I wonder what Jamie did?
(rock music)
- [Jamie] All right, here we go.
We have Jamie's poached egg.
