Het geheime ingrediënt voor een perfect gepocheerd ei

The secret ingredient for a perfect poached egg

In a restaurant, a poached egg on your plate looks so easy. In reality, it takes a lot of splattered eggs before you master this skill. With this secret tip, you'll succeed. Even the first time.

Yes, you too.

Requirements

What you need? A pan, an egg, a spoon, a cup, and now for the secret ingredient... a dash of vinegar. Place the pan on the stove and wait until the water is almost boiling. Then add the dash of vinegar. The vinegar will help the egg set faster (and therefore prevent it from bubbling out). Next, turn the heat down low and stir the pan with the spoon to create a kind of whirlpool.

Ready, set, go!

Then you crack the egg into the prepared cup and carefully 'pour' the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Now you just have to choose how hard or soft you want the egg. For a soft poached egg, wait three minutes; for a harder egg, wait six minutes. Do you already follow NewFysic on Facebook? And Instagram ? Fancy a fried egg?
