No Worry Poached Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer in a medium shallow pot or large skillet.
• Crack an egg into a small cup and carefully slide it into the hot vinegar water. Quickly repeat with all of the eggs. Cook the eggs, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon, until the whites are firm but the yolks are still soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and briefly transfer to a kitchen towel to remove any excess water. Serve hot over buttered toast or English muffins and tomato slices.

Steps:

• Heat the water: Add enough water to come 1 inch up the side of a narrow, deep 2-quart saucier. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons white vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, crack 1 very fresh cold large egg into a custard cup or small ramekin. Use the handle of a spatula or spoon to quickly stir the water in one direction until it's all smoothly spinning around.
• TIP: Use this whirlpool method when poaching a single serving (one or two eggs). For bigger batches, heat the water, salt and vinegar in a 12-inch nonstick skillet and do not stir.
• Add the egg: Carefully drop the egg into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water will help prevent the white from "feathering," or spreading out in the pan.
• Let it poach: Turn off the heat, cover the pan and set your timer for 5 minutes. Don't peek, poke, stir or accost the egg in any way.
• Lift it out: Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Alternatively, move the egg to an ice bath and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Reheat in warm water just before serving.

Steps:

• Clip (or stand) sous vide machine to a tall large pot. Fill pot with warm water. Turn on machine and heat water to 153°F. Not 155°F-not 150°F. 153°F.
• Gently lower eggs into water. (We like to put each one in a spoon and lower it in just to make sure it doesn't crack.) Cook 25 minutes.
• Transfer eggs to an ice bath and let cool. Transfer to an airtight container and chill; they'll keep in the fridge for about a week.
• When you want to eat one warm (though there is nothing wrong with eating a cold, poached egg), use sous vide machine set to 150°F or a small pot of hot water to heat it up for a few minutes. Then crack it into a bowl or small container so that you can drain off any water or floating albumin before you plate your pretty egg.
