Here's my poached egg article on Serious Eats: www.seriouseats.com/foolproof...
This technique is one that I shared in my first book, The Food Lab. The idea is that by straining eggs in a fine mesh strainer before poaching them, you eliminate the problems caused by those excess loose whites - the whispy cloudlike things that muck up the water and make the poached eggs look kinda like wet tissue instead of a nice clean, tight torpedo shape.
The method is not 100% foolproof (there will always be a random egg here and there that has whites that are already broken when you take it out of the shell), but it's as close as I know.
What's especially nice is that you can crack lots of eggs into the strainer at once. I've done this with three dozen eggs at a time at a demo once!

Thanks for the “no vinegar” comment. I cook breakfast at a Greek restaurant and have advocated this for a long time. I keep a 6” 1/2 pan simmering at 195-205 on a back gas burner for my poached eggs. I find that this gives me the perfect amount of time to make my “Benedict sets” before the eggs get done: the more orders for Benedict ( whether , ham, salmon, crabcake, or veggie with spinach tomato and avocado ), the more eggs I’ll drop. The more eggs I put in (cooling the poaching water), the longer it takes for them to cook; giving more time to make “sets”😊

Heh, my kids are picky about their eggs having runny yolks esp when we eat at cafes. We always make sure they know, but one place they tried 5 times and still didn't do it right. I said to the owner as I left, as nicely as I could, that if your chef can't do eggs however they are asked for, and your barista can't make decent coffee, you need different people.

I believe the viscous aspect of the whites is a question of quality and freshness. Before foxes won the war, friends of mine used to keep a chicken coop and I was always amazed by the robust, plump surface tension of their eggs - they would sometimes stand close to an inch tall when cracked into a frying pan & were extremely resistant to homogenisation with a fork. By contrast I just tried the sieve method with some week-old eggs I got from the farmers market and lost over a third of the volume instantly (so I just put it back in the pan halfway through, and have a big wispy cloud to go with my tiny eggs :P)
@cactustactics
@cactustactics 7 месяцев назад
Yeah freshness definitely matters - it's the same with a fried egg, you get a nice solid shape with a fresh one, but leave them too long and they definitely spread out when they hit the pan

@donscott6431
@donscott6431 7 месяцев назад
I’ve had, in the past, a problem with premium “free range” eggs: the whites being too watery for frying (the yolks would burst AFTER gently placing in the pan). I think that it has to do with where the chickens are “ranging” ergo, what and how much protein they’re consuming. Chickens are omnivorous. Possibly the feed of captive chickens provides a more “strong” white…
@phylliscraine
@phylliscraine 7 месяцев назад
There are so many good ways to poach an egg. I do strain mine and while the water is coming up to temp I also put each one in a 1:1 bath of vinegar:water, just 1 oz of each. The mild vinegar solution ceviches the outer cell layer of the egg white and it slips into the water as a perfect sphere. I don't notice any vinegar flavor in the finished poached egg because the egg sits in the vinegar:water solution for just a minute or so.
