    Maybe I wasn't clear in my post. Stir the water first to get it swirling, then stop. Add the egg to the swirling water but don't stir any more. Put the lid on and wait four minutes. It always works for me.

      Do you wear contact lenses? My wife used to think she had this super power (and would lord her superiority over me) until the one time she chopped onions while wearing glasses instead of contacts. Then she was a crying mess.

        • The vortex/whirlpool method can help with appearance, but it limits a person to poaching one egg at a time. A wider, shallower pan can be used to poach several eggs at once. The eggs stay together well, even in the still water. The key is cracking the egg into a small bowl first, like hostile described. Hold the bowl as close to the surface of the liquid as you can, then gently pour the raw egg into the liquid.

          Most "poaching" pans cook by steaming/double-boiling and not by poaching. There are some true poaching cups that are slotted and sit in the poaching liquid. They do not create perfect circles.

            True. I have only been able to do 2 eggs at once using this method.

              No, I got it, and that's what I did.

              • I don't care if it's not true poaching, the poaching pan insert is the way to go. But if you're a purist, then try adding more vinegar to the water. That should prevent it from falling apart. I've been able to do four at a time this way.

                        • Breakfast: Poached eggs (well, fake-poached, but they are a lot easier and I like the taste just as well) over toast spread with avocado.

                          • Speaking of poached eggs, I am hoping to try this one soon:

                            • After a hiatus from eggs over the last few months, I had three over easy yesterday and three over easy today. Now I'm sitting in my office with a full belly and ready to work browse some CS!
