According to chef Pankaj Bhadouria, here are the points you can follow to get the perfect poached egg:
Tip 1:
The first and most important thing you need to keep in mind is that the eggs you are boiling should not be broken in the container. And, if the egg is broken, the yolk won’t spread around which will make it very difficult for you. So make sure the egg doesn’t break. And to prevent this, don’t make the pan too thick in the first place. Just lay the eggs in a single layer.
Tip 2:
Always use cold water first to boil eggs. Finally, you can bring to a rolling boil after cooking on the stove.
Tip 3:
When you think the eggs are boiling, turn off the heat (stove) and let the eggs simmer. In how long? Chef Pankaj says that if you want them to be tender, keep them that way for six minutes. But if you want moderately hard boiled eggs, keep them for nine minutes. If you need to boil eggs, keep them for 13-15 minutes. But make sure you add some vinegar to the boiling water. If you do, the egg won’t break and spread around. This process will also make your job easier while peeling.
