Poach an egg perfectly: 

  • To create perfectly poached eggs, one needs to add very little or no salt as salt increases the density of water making the egg yolk pop out. 
  • Adding a little vinegar to the water will help keep the egg intact and won’t affect the taste.
  • Then the egg has to be strained through a fine sieve/ mesh strainer or a thinner, which will help in removing liquid white, and leave only the firmer white enveloping the yolk. 
  • A deep pot of hot water helps in making the classical spherical or teardrop shape of poached eggs. This happens when the egg falls in the water, yolk sinks in the first place and white trails are left behind.

Make perfectly soft-boiled eggs:

  • The eggs should be dipped in cold water in a saucepan. 
  • The eggs need to be placed in a single layer at the bottom of the saucepan. If required more water can be added.
  • The ratio of water and eggs is that water should be above an inch for 6 eggs, and for 7 to 12 eggs, it should be more than 2 inches. 
  • The pot should be heated on high flame and the water has to be bought to a full rolling boil.
  • Adding a small amount of vinegar to the water will help in keeping the egg whites from spilling out or cracking while cooking.
  • After 10- 12 minutes, one should turn off the heat, cover the saucepan and let it sit for a while.
