How to Poach an Egg

Raised on a farm, we have fried eggs. I never had a poached egg. Here I am at 11:30 at night, come across you video and think I got to try it. Being we get about 35 eggs a day. I had a few eggs only hours old! 1145 I poach 2 eggs, Delicious! This is definitely top of the menu now in the mornings, or a midnight snack😂

discovered the ladle method a few months ago, brushing the ladle with some olive or veg oil, parcook it for literally 10 seconds, then dump the egg in. works every time and looks perfect!

You are so relaxing to watch and the instructions are spot on without a lot of clinical mumbo jumbo.

How to poach an egg: First, you wait until the farmer is asleep. Then, carrying along a small container of 3-in-1 oil, you dink the hinges of the gate leading to the chicken coop ...

Thank you! It's so nice to have a video dedicated just to poaching an egg, even though you have instructions in your Eggs Benedict recipe. This way we can go straight to the eggformation we need😄

I feel like this video gonna become legendary

John Kanell, I love your blog, U-tube and books. In fact you're the only one that speaks distinctly, explains exactly and is 100% entertaining. I would love to see you have a TV show. Prime time of course. Food Network Channel eat your heart out. P.S. I'm 87 and have learned to cook through your instruction.

His recipe are always a masterpiece, dynamite. God bless you John

I love you John. You make folks happy!

Poaching is illegal

I love poached eggs, and have tried all of the hacks. I like your method of creating a vortex to help the egg hold together. Thank you!

I really appreciate your encouragement ❤

Thank you for the tips. Hopefully, the next time I cook poached eggs, they are going to turn out great. With love from Australia 🇦🇺

Thank you, John!! Never a video I don’t learn from ❤

Make sure the egg is at least room temperature, not cold from the refrigerator. If necessary, warm it up a bit in a bowl of warm water. Cold eggs need to absorb more heat from the boiling water, leaving more time for the whites to spread out.

Finally bought your book. After 2 weeks it got here, in Brazil. Already made 3 recipes! ❤

I love poached eggs!

I used to follow you religiously, then I had to go gluten free and stopped for awhile. BUT.... as I learned more and more about how to live and cook/bake gluten free, I have learned that I can adapt many regular recipes to accommodate my healthy requirements. Now I'm back to following you again and enjoying your recipes as I adapt them to being gluten free. This video was easy as making the egg needed no adjusting, I just need to put my egg on a gf piece of bread or english muffin. I am so happy to be back enjoying your videos!

Lmao I’m here to watch how to poach eggs for my dog. lol

Thank you John; you always explain things so well with a little dash of humor. I love eggs!
