I havent yet tried this method, but do agree with Jenny that freshness does matter.<br />Thanx for joining us in the Cook like a Star blog hop. <br />AnujaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10666868081955003285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293670536343039075.post-70332501664039795522012-09-27T06:31:58.535+08:002012-09-27T06:31:58.535+08:00Hi Alice,

Didn't know freshness of eggs can be so critical for poaching :D<br /><br />ZoeZoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421563268838633392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293670536343039075.post-12585537695206190192012-09-26T17:54:22.935+08:002012-09-26T17:54:22.935+08:00Alice, the whole issue of poaching eggs in this wa...Alice, the whole issue of poaching eggs in this way relies entirely - and I do mean entirely - upon how fresh your egg is. The only eggs I have managed to poach successfully have been either "just fallen out of the hen" fresh, or no more than three days old. You see, the eggs that are commercially produced can be up to a week old before we buy them. Yes, they're perfectly good for every other use - and will stay good for weeks yet. But for poaching, nope, it just won't work. It annoys me that programmed like MasterChef don't stress the freshness of the egg - which is what leads foodies like us to spend weeks trying and failing to poach an egg, when it is quite patently impossible. So, find an egg which is literally a day or two old - and try again. I bet you'll have the perfect poached egg. :)Jenny Eatwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664664803454422811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293670536343039075.post-71223774162230550852012-09-26T10:43:58.034+08:002012-09-26T10:43:58.034+08:00Hi Alice, wow 9 days of cooking poached eggs! You ...Hi Alice, wow 9 days of cooking poached eggs! You are really determined to get it right, sorry to hear though it didn't really turn out well. I am just guessing, maybe u need to swirl the water more (more vigorously) so that it can enclose better. You really need to pour the egg in quite quickly but at the same time gently.<br /><br /><br />I'm going to do another poached egg, with different method soon, I think the success rate will be higher, maybe u can try it. :DBaby Sumohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02142285807696582845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293670536343039075.post-60602207764330119912012-09-26T09:16:14.243+08:002012-09-26T09:16:14.243+08:00Wow, I salute your determination, Alice.

But then I was lazy and thought, "Why all the hassle to eat an egg", and here I am now, have yet to make any poached egg :pyvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16500454253801613403noreply@blogger.com
