Healthy Poached Egg
[edit] Background
Poaching is the best way to cook eggs if you want to live for a long time. Not everyone wants to live for a long time, especially if it means not frying everything, so if you're like that maybe poaching isn't for you. This is a judgment call. Your life is yours, you gotta live the way you want and for as long as you want. Fried, poached, these are basic life choices you need to make and neither one is correct.
A good poached egg should have all the white part cooked and the yolk still runny, just like a fried egg. So treat it like a fried egg, if you put fried eggs on toast, use hotsauce, whatever, that's how you should eat your poached egg.

[edit] Ingredients
[edit] Directions
- put some water in a sauce pan. Fill er up but not all the way, you need room for the egg. 2/3 full of water is good.
- get it to a simmer, add a tbsp vinegar
- crack your egg into a cup, then slowly pour the egg into the saucepan. Be gentle. Don't be surprised when the egg flares out like a ghost ooOOooOOOoooOO
- Wait 3 or 4 minutes and scoop it out with a slotted spoon. Dry it off with a papertowel if you want.

[edit] Important Notes
If you decide you like poached eggs, I recommend getting a poached egg pan. It makes everything much easier plus it's made by a company called Fagor(t)
