Introduction
A foolproof guide to poaching a perfect egg with a runny yolk, emphasizing the use of fresh eggs and gentle heat without the need for vinegar.
Step 1
Select a very fresh egg, as this is essential for a perfect poached egg.
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then remove it from the heat or turn it down so the boiling bubbles completely subside.
Step 3
Crack the egg into a small cup or bowl first.
Step 4
Gently slide the egg from the cup into the hot, non-boiling water.
Step 5
Poach the egg gently in the water for roughly 3 minutes to get a soft yolk.

Important Notes
Fresh eggs are critical because the whites hold together much better than older eggs.
Poaching is not boiling; boiling water will break the egg apart, so ensure the water is calm and gentle.
Do not add vinegar to the water. While it firms the egg white, it alters the flavor negatively.
