- What are the best techniques for poaching eggs

Sure thing! Here are three different ways to poach eggs:

**Classic Method**: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of vinegar. Crack your egg into a small bowl, then carefully slide it into the water. Use a spoon to gently swirl the water around the egg to help it keep its shape. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, then scoop it out with a slotted spoon.

**Strainer Trick**: Crack your egg into a fine mesh strainer for a minute or so to let the watery part of the egg white drain out. This helps the egg hold its shape better. Then, drop it into simmering water (with a bit of vinegar, if you like) and poach for 3-4 minutes. You’ll get a neater poached egg!
