/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I used to have the magic touch when it came to these things, they always came out great.
But recently I've been trying my hand ad them again because I haven't had good eggs in a while and every time I end up overdoing them. How do I make a good poached egg?

Poached for sure. I have mastered the art of poaching eggs and now its one of my favorite add-ons to most meals.

I can't tell when the yoke is turning solid. How do you make sure you cooked them all the way through without overcooking them?

You could eat nothing but eggs your whole life and it would actually be more healthy than the typical western diet
While hipsters try each week to claim a new piece of grass you've never heard of is a superfood, the true superfood was something as mundane as an egg all along

Why even bothered making a poached egg?
They're a pain to cook and just inferior to fried unless you're health conscious

> He doesn't poach his eggs.

What is the best kind of egg and why is it poached?

How the fuck do I make this crap? My egg always fucking sinks and white always seprates.
It's rather fresh too. What the fuck am I doing wrong?
Still tasty though.

i really love yolky eggs but im afraid of getting food poisoning again. the last time i had it i was pretty sure i was going to die (sick for 3+ days).

is there a metric you can use to ensure the egg isn't going to fuck ur shit up or am i doomed to eating pretty much soft boiled eggs if i want to be sure i wont get sick?

additionally; what are your pro tips for making poached eggs?
