Hello guys! How are you?
Today I will show you how to make perfect poached eggs.
I know everyone can boil eggs.
But to make perfect eggs,
You still need a little bit of skill and advice.
Even if you boil perfect eggs, it’s not useful.
It tastes the same.
I think making simple and ideal poached eggs,
Making poached eggs,
Honestly, I think it’s quite a joyful thing to do.
The standard of perfection for me is
Externally it’s a round shape. It’s like soft egg whites and the yolk flows out.
The most important thing is you can simply and roughly make it.
It’s not ok to mess up 99 out of 100 eggs.
Before seeking perfection, we need to redefine something that is not perfect.
Boil water.
Crack an egg and
Put it in the pot.
Roughly boil eggs.
This is just a boiled egg.
As you can see, there is sediment like cotton on the surface.
The shape is abstract and the egg whites are quite hard.
There wouldn’t be any problem eating it.
The thing is it’s quite far away from being ideal egg whites.
To boil eggs well, you have to choose good quality eggs first.
Once you crack open the fresh eggs, it’s divided into white eggs and yolks perfectly.
This part of covering the yolk is more sticky and
The outer part is watery.
The nonfresh eggs are
It‘s not divided into gaps because the sticky and watery parts are mixed.
If your eggs are not fresh when you crack them open,
It would be hard to make perfect boiled eggs.
Nonfresh eggs/ Fresh eggs.
Let’s check the eggs we just boiled.
The eggs have obviously cloudy and watery egg whites.
It can’t be condensed to one chunk in the water so
It’s just ugly sediment.
It’s very easy once you start to understand.
Filter the watery egg white out.
Leave only the sticky part.
Boil the eggs in the water and the pot at the same time.
It’s better than before.
Now we have one last problem.
The egg water is quite hard. It’s easy to deal with.
Filter the eggs out in the same way and switch off the gas when the water boils.
Put the eggs in the water carefully and boil them.
The egg whites won’t be cooked completely because it’s not boiling water.
It’s quite perfect but
I won’t stop giving you advice yet.
There is a book of recipes that I translated a couple of years ago,
There is a recipe to make perfectly poached eggs here.
Filter the eggs out in the same way,
Switch off the gas once the water boils.
We have to make a whirlpool before putting in the eggs.
Make sure to put the eggs in the middle of the whirlpool.
Logically the whirlpool helps the egg whites to wrap the yolk to make a perfect shape.
Hold on! What happened?
The yolk has dispersed in the water.
It failed to make a perfect shape.
Honestly I forgot one thing.
There were two tips in the book.
It says we have to add a little bit of vinegar except when making the whirlpools.
So it helps the egg whites to be coagulated right away.
Let’s go back so we do everything correctly in the same way at the first.
Filter the eggs out. Add vinegar and put the eggs back in when the water boils.
You can see the difference, right? It’s definitely less white in the water.
The water is quite clear after boiling.
The vinegar causes the egg whites to be coagulated.
It proves what the vinegar does to the egg whites.
I’m thinking it would be better if we add vinegar on the 3rd try.
Let’s skip the front part. We only add vinegar and not make the whirlpools.
It makes one line when we put the eggs slightly into the water.
The eggs sink and remain one line of white eggs along the track.
It really keeps the mark.
Because the vinegar makes the egg whites to be coagulated.
When the eggs begin to sink the
white eggs are coagulated quickly.
The thing is the shape is not perfect.
We experimented 6 ways and the results are very clear.
5th way, whirlpool, and vinegar.
It’s not bad to use these two tips at the same time.
It’s quite a good idea to do.
I think either outer or texture,
The 3rd way is the best one among all these tips.
Additionally, this way is the simplest one.
The last one is not necessary.
In summary,
The best way to make perfect poached eggs is
Choosing fresh eggs,
Filtering watery eggs properly,
Switching off the gas when the water boils and
Putting the eggs into the water softly and leaving it.
Steam them for about 4 - 5 mins and take them out carefully.
Clear the surface and soft poached egg is so easy like this.
The best way is always the simplest one.
This is all for today.
We made poached eggs in 6 different ways.
Watch this one.
Now you know how to make it, right? It’s quite simple.
