🔥 Step-by-Step: How to Poach Like a Pro
Let’s make magic—one golden egg at a time.
Step 1: Prep & Heat the Water
Fill a saucepan 2/3 full with water.
Add 1 tbsp vinegar and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat—look for small bubbles rising, but no rolling boil.
🔥 Ideal temp: ~180–190°F (82–88°C)
💡 Too hot? Boiling water tears the egg apart.
💡 Too cool? Whites stay loose and wispy.
