Note that undercooked eggs are not recommended for infants, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with a compromised immune system. To prevent undercooked eating eggs, avoid any kind of egg prepared with a partially or fully runny yolk. To avoid the risk of salmonella, use pasteurized eggs only. 1. Preparation: 1.1. Crack the egg and gently place it into a small bowl (each egg into individual bowls), and make sure that the yolk doesn’t break. 1.2. Bring about 3 QT of water with ¼ Cup of vinegar to a poaching temperature, similar to a light simmer, but not boiling. Make sure that the temperature is around 190°F. 1.3. Create a whirlpool with a wooden spoon. 1.4. Pour each egg from the bowl into the whirlpool – one by one. I would recommend cooking eggs in batches (at most 3 at a time) to be able to provide them with the required attention. 1.5. Cook until the white gets cooked and is compact (about 4 minutes). 1.6. When done, carefully remove to a paper towel using a small strainer or spoon with holes. There is a shortcut for poaching eggs: you can purchase an electric poaching pan that poaches multiple eggs at once. About the Author: Tom the ChefFounder # 1 120 Followers Published Recipes: 268Av.
