How to poach eggs
The key to a well poached egg is to keep the water at a bare simmer throughout the cooking
Before we begin to talk about how to poach eggs I think it is appropriate to clear up a few myths and mysteries that surround the whole subject. I met someone recently who said they had been to six leading kitchen shops and not one of them sold an egg poacher. My reaction was `What a great leap for mankind. Egg poachers not only came out of the ark but they never did the job anyway. What they did was to steam and toughen the eggs not poach them and did you ever try to clean one afterwards? The dried on toughened egg white was always hell to remove.
Then came professional chefs who passed their exams only if they created a strong whirlpool of simmering water using a whisk and then performed a sort of culinary cabaret act by swirling the poached egg back to its original shell shape. At home we can now relax throw out our egg poachers and poach eggs simply and easily for four or even six people. The method below is not at all frightening or hazardous but bear in mind that for successful poaching the eggs have to be really fresh (qv eggs info).
You will need:
4 to 6 large very fresh eggs (under four days old)
a suitably sized frying pan (according to the number of eggs)
boiling water from the kettle
a draining spoon
a folded wodge of kitchen paper
Place the frying pan over a gentle heat and add enough boiling water from the kettle to fill it to 2.5cm.
Keep the heat gentle and very quickly you will see the merest trace of tiny bubbles beginning to form over the base of the pan. Carefully break the eggs one at a time into the water and let them barely simmer without covering for just 1 minute.
A timer is essential here because you cannot guess how long 1 minute is.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the eggs sit calmly and happily in the hot water this time setting the timer for 10 minutes. This timing will give perfect results for a beautifully translucent perfectly set white and a soft creamy yolk.
Remove each egg by lifting it out of the water with the draining spoon and then letting the spoon rest for a few seconds on the kitchen paper which will absorb the excess water.
As you remove the eggs serve them straight away. (qv toast)
There are now dozens of ways chat you can use your newfound skill in egg poaching. For someone on a strict budget (or not) baked beans on toast topped with a poached egg (or two) is one of the worlds cheapest but greatest nutritional combinations. If youre not on a budget wholefood shops sell baked beans chat taste almost homemade in a sauce that does not contain any sugar. More expensive but very good.
Another fast but comforting supper dish is to poach smoked haddock in a frying pan of water. Drain well and keep it warm while you slip a couple of eggs into the same water to poach. Serve the haddock with the eggs on top and buttered chunks of brown Irish soda bread.
