It may be really difficult for many people to make poached eggs round and full without too much floating powder, so don't underestimate poached eggs. Simple cooking process also contains skill and attention. I want to share with you three specific ways to cook poached eggs. Friends who often can't cook poached eggs well can try to ensure that poached eggs are complete and beautiful in the future.
the first method of boiling poached eggs (remember the three skills of this method)
Tip # 1: Don't put the eggs too high above the water, and put them in the pot.
when boiling poached eggs, the eggs are too high above the water surface to be put directly into the pot. Eggs will have a great impact when they are shelled, especially those that are not very fresh. Eggs fall too fast and are easily washed away by water, resulting in egg whites scattered into pieces. Try to stick to the water and break the eggshell.
tip 2: don't boil eggs.
Boil the boiled eggs, but remember to turn off the fire after boiling, and let the boiling water stay calm before adding the eggs, because the boiled water will also break the eggs. In order to avoid this situation, many people will choose to put the eggs in the pot before the water boils, but the water temperature is not well controlled, the solidification speed will slow down and there will be more unstable factors. Therefore, it is recommended to turn off the fire and add the eggs after boiling.
secret 3: turn on a small fire and cook slowly.
after the eggs are set, remember not to open the fire. Just simmer for about 5 minutes, and the poached eggs will be completely cooked. If you like poached eggs, cook for 3 minutes.
Specific operation steps:
1. Clean the eggs, and find a small bowl to beat the eggs into the bowl, so that the eggs can be more controlled when they enter the pot than when they are directly beaten into the pot.
2. add a proper amount of water to the pot, bring the water to a boil with high fire, turn off the fire and add a spoonful of salt to stir. The addition of salt can accelerate the coagulation of protein. Slowly tilt the small bowl with eggs close to the water surface and let the eggs slide into the pot.
3. After the eggs slide into the bottom of the pot, there is no need for fire or stirring. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 minute to set the eggs.
4. after the eggs are beaten, gently stir the eggs with a spatula to make the poached eggs leave the bottom of the pot. Simmer for 3-5 minutes.
