HOW TO POACH AN EGG WITHOUT VINEGAR RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, then salt the water. Meanwhile, crack an egg (or two, or three!) into a small cup. With a spoon, begin stirring the boiling water in a large, circular motion.  When the water is swirling like a tornado, add the eggs. The swirling water will help the egg white wrap around itself as it cooks.  Cook for about 2 ½ to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg (or eggs) to a plate.

Steps:

• In a 12-inch straight-sided skillet, heat 2 inches water over medium until bubbles cover the bottom and sides of pan. Crack each large egg into a separate small bowl (do not use eggs with broken yolks). When a few bubbles have broken the surface of the water, gently pour each egg into the pan, leaving room between them.
• Cook eggs, undisturbed, until white is just set and yolk is still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to gently release eggs from the bottom of pan, if necessary.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs from water. If using immediately, blot the bottom of the spoon on a paper towel to remove excess water before serving.
