Ingredients
- water - watch the video to see (enough to fill your pot)
- white wine vinegar - watch the video to see (10% of the volume of the water)
- fresh egg - 1 (cracked into a small bowl)
Instructions
- Boil Water: Bring the water to a boil.
- Add Vinegar: Turn down the heat and add white wine vinegar, which should be 10% of the volume of the water. This brings the water to an ideal temperature of 75°C.
- Poach the Egg: Crack a fresh egg into a small bowl, then lower it into the water. No need for a vortex. Poach for 2 minutes, or until the eggs start floating to the top, indicating they're ready.
- Ice Bath: Transfer the poached egg to ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Serving or Storing: If serving immediately, poach for 3 to 4 minutes for a perfect poached egg. For storage, transfer the egg to a bain-marie kept at around 60°C to 70°C for up to 4 hours during service.
