Notes

There’s a lot of debate over how to correctly poach an egg. Ultimately, different methods work for different people. Some people like to swirl the water and crack the egg into the centre of the ‘whirlpool’ while others recommend a splash of white vinegar into the water. One thing that definitely helps is using the freshest eggs possible - as eggs age, their structure loosens.
