Backwoodsman	BS: How to poach an egg (61* d)	RE: BS: How to poach an egg	26 Nov 17
I'm with Steve and Jeri - no vinegar! But I do stir the water before dropping the egg, as gently as possible, into the pan. I'm gobsmacked by the idea of using a frying-pan, of all things, to poach eggs! Such an outlandish concept out here in The Backwoods! Barely deep enough, if at all. We have a small saucepan (which we call, believe it or not, 'The Egg-Poaching Pan') which allows for 2-1/2 to 3 inches of water. And the water should be barely simmering, certainly not 'boiling'! Delia recommends getting the water boiling first, then turning the heat completely off immediately prior to the eggs going in.
