This is basically what i said on post 11. Fresh eggs and lower it into a simmer with something like a ramekin
My pseudo-Ramsay issue with the above Instagram post is that they aren't technically poached, they are boiled
I slide the eggs in from a ramekin when the water temperature is around 75 deg C, if the eggs are a little old then we use a ring mould / scone cutter to make sure they stay put.
Yeah I agree, I've seen a similar video where it isn't boiled. But definitely using a bowl/something to enter it in was the turning point for me to making better poached eggs.

This is usually the method I follow.
Fresh eggs are essential, get them the day before or on the morning you're going to cook.
I also ignore the vinegar step, i've heard that it doesn't do anything other than make your eggs taste like vinegar and from experience I have to agree.

Call me uncultured but I like packet chicken noodle soup you make up with water. Now when it's nearing its full cooking time..I'll throw an egg in to poach...extra protein & a poached egg covered in flavour. You're welcome lol.

I blimmin love that stuff, and the Florida spring vegetable one

Probably lol. Get a whole pan out of one packet! Never heard of Florida spring.

I sense I’m missing out. I just crack two eggs into this folding plastic thing and nuke it for 45-60 seconds!
How delightfully uncouth.
