Hi

Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I want to learn about poaching eggs. What is the best way to poach an egg?
user
To poach an egg, fill a pot with water and bring it to a simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently pour it into the water. Cook for 3-5 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.

How do I keep the egg white from spreading out in the water?
user
To keep the egg white from spreading, add a tablespoon of vinegar to the water before cooking. This helps the egg white set faster and keeps it from spreading.

What is the best way to remove the egg from the water without breaking it?
user
Use a slotted spoon to carefully scoop the egg out of the water. Gently lift the egg out, letting any excess water drip off, and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
