Revolutionary poached eggs method wins over breakfast tables

Eggs for breakfast are a favourite in the UK. We tend to opt for scrambled, fried, or hard-boiled eggs, while poaching, despite its appeal, hasn't caught on as much. Perhaps the unique texture of poached eggs isn't for everyone, or maybe the perceived difficulty in achieving the perfect poached egg deters people.

However, the "Crew Skills Internationals" on Instagram have recently shared their method for making the most delicious and visually appealing poached eggs you'll ever encounter. The idea of mastering such a technique is enticing, isn't it? Let's dive into their method without further ado.

The challenge in poaching eggs perfectly lies in solidifying the egg whites while keeping the yolk soft and runny. Plus, the egg mustn't disperse in the water. Traditionally, vinegar is added to boiling water, creating a whirlpool, before gently introducing the egg. But what's "Crew Skills'" approach?

Begin by mixing water and vinegar in equal parts in a bowl. Gently add the eggs, ensuring they are fully submerged, and leave them undisturbed for around 10 minutes. Following this, cook them in a pot of boiling water without swirling, stirring, vinegar, or any common hacks. That's it.

This 10-minute vinegar bath prevents the eggs from spreading when placed in boiling water, presenting a simple yet effective twist on poaching eggs. This method could revolutionize your breakfast routine, possibly making poached eggs a new favourite in your household!
