Slow Poached Eggs Food

PERFECT POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the water: Add enough water to come 1 inch up the side of a narrow, deep 2-quart saucier. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons white vinegar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, crack 1 very fresh cold large egg into a custard cup or small ramekin. Use the handle of a spatula or spoon to quickly stir the water in one direction until it's all smoothly spinning around.
• TIP: Use this whirlpool method when poaching a single serving (one or two eggs). For bigger batches, heat the water, salt and vinegar in a 12-inch nonstick skillet and do not stir.
• Add the egg: Carefully drop the egg into the center of the whirlpool. The swirling water will help prevent the white from "feathering," or spreading out in the pan.
• Let it poach: Turn off the heat, cover the pan and set your timer for 5 minutes. Don't peek, poke, stir or accost the egg in any way.
• Lift it out: Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and serve immediately. Alternatively, move the egg to an ice bath and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Reheat in warm water just before serving.

SLOW-POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• 1. Fill your biggest, deepest pot with water & put it on the lowest heat possible. 2. Use something to keep the eggs from sitting on the bottom of the pot, where the temperature will be the highest. If you've got a cake rack or steamer, use it 3. Use an instant read thermometer to monitor the temperature in the pot - if it's too hot, add cold water or an ice cube. Once the water is between 140 - 145 degrees, add the eggs to the pot. Let them bathe for 40 - 45 minutes, checking the temperature regularly with the thermometer or by sticking your finger in the water (it should be the temperature of a very hot bath) and moderating it as needed. 4. You can use the eggs immediately or store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. (If you're planning on storing them, chill them until cold in an ice bath.) If you refrigerate the eggs, warm them under piping hot tap water for 1 minute before using. 5. To serve eggs, crack them one at a time into a small saucer. The thin white will not and should not be firm or solid; tip the dish to pour off and discard the loosest part of the white, then slide the egg onto the dish it's destined for.
