🍳 How to Make Perfectly Poached Eggs — The Foolproof Method That Works Every Time (No Vinegar, No Swirling, No Stress!)

✅ The Foolproof Method: “The Gentle Simmer + Fresh Egg” Technique
This method, used by chefs and tested in home kitchens worldwide, delivers perfect poached eggs with minimal effort.

What You’ll Need:
Very fresh eggs (the #1 key—see tip below!)
A wide, shallow pan (or deep skillet)
Water (enough to fill 2–3 inches deep)
A fine-mesh strainer (the game-changer!)
A slotted spoon
Paper towels
🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Strain the Egg (This Is the Secret!)
Crack 1 fresh egg into a small bowl, then pour it into a fine-mesh strainer.

Let the loose, watery part of the white drain away (10–15 seconds). What’s left is the firm, gel-like white that holds together beautifully.💡 Why this works: The runny part causes the “feathery mess.” Removing it = compact, restaurant-quality eggs.
