[whathappen?]

how do i do it. i tried one a second ago and it just spread all over the pot

help

When the water starts to boil, stir it til it gets all whirlpooly..
Then crack the egg into centre.
The spinning water will keep the egg in the centre of the pot.

Maybe beans on toast would be safer.

 

[Lolo]

don't bring the water to a rapid boil.

Ah, this might be where I'm going wrong.
Also, freshness of egg is a factor.

important.

very

The other option is to buy a poaching pot thing, they're deadly, or do it in the oven like in the butter ad on the tele.

Fresh egg.
Hot just boiled water (let it settle back down). Salt and plenty of vinnigar in the water (before boiling).
Gently crack in the egg. Pan NOT on heat. Dont spin the water or any of that shit.
LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE!!!
Take it out when its done and plunge it into a bowl of cold water briefly. Sprinkle with chives, salt n pepper. Then eat.

Don't make poached eggs, they're disgusting.

I use a frying pan, less water to fuck up your egg

Important to crack the egg into a cup first, then gently 'pour' it into the water. No breakage that way.
