Cooking poached eggs with or without vinegar: what professionals advise
Whether or not to add vinegar to a poached egg is an age-old culinary dilemma. This product ensures that the shell of the protein remains intact during cooking. But this doesn't mean that you can't cook a dish without vinegar.
Today, the FoodOboz editorial team will tell you what the secret of a perfect poached egg is and what affects its texture. Ukrainian food bloggers shared their experience.
The process of cooking an egg
The secrets of a perfect poached egg from food blogger moireceptuforeva are published on her Instagram page.
- The egg must be fresh. It has a bag of protein around the yolk, which becomes less dense and spreads over time. It provides the perfect structure for poached eggs.
- If you are not sure about the freshness of the egg, it is better to break it into a plate first and then, if everything is fine, throw it into the pot.
- Add salt to the water and bring it to a boil.
- If you need to cook 2 eggs at the same time, you need to throw them in at intervals of 10 seconds. Use a spoon to separate them so that they do not stick together.
- The water should not boil too much.
- To make the yolk runny, you can cook for 2.5-3 minutes. If you prefer fully cooked eggs, 5-6 minutes.

- After 2 minutes, remove it with a spoon.
