they look a shade overcooked -- once removed from the water I tend to have exactly what I want. Remove wish a slotted spoon but take your time to shift the egg back and forth to remove all of the water from it (including from its surface). Poaching eggs for a crowd can be achieve with a little planning. Poach eggs using what ever method suits you until almost done and then shock them in an ice water bath. Store in the fridge in water to cover until needed. Then warm them up in a pot of simmering water for about 1 min. drain and use. Voila. Poached eggs for a crowd.
