Poached eggs…

[kilésengati]

I usually hate poached eggs. Watery rubbish! Poaching eggs should be illegal.

Turns out, poaching them in salt water is just wrong!!

I recently discovered poaching them in a strong soup or stew instead takes them to a whole different level. Now it's one of my favourite ways of preparing egg.


What do you think of poached eggs?

4 minutes is waaay too long. You don't like runny eggs?

4 min is max. egg white is set, yolk is completely runny. i do my eggs like this everyday.

Whoa, 4 minutes on a bene is like a hard boiled egg at that point.

That's what I call benedicts when I'm repeating the order to the server. I'm cute like that.

Mostly it's just a time saving thing. The brunch shift can be stupid busy sometimes. Brunch is more popular than it really should be.

It depends on elevation to be fair. But 4 minutes sound almost twice what I do.

Brunch sounds cool. Never been tho. Have never been that cool.

As a cook, it's definitely not what you wanna work, but it's the price I pay to get to do other cool stuff.

nice. so you're somewhat of a pro when it comes to the food scene? what's the worst thing someone can order during Brunch rush?

and have you ever seen the movie Boiling Point?

Might as well eat/drink them raw

Edit: I bet peoples who like poached eggs also like oysters

Yeah, that and I just realized we're probably talking about using home cookware and I'm over here using a $400 pot with amazing heat distribution.

Well it's just the only kinda work I've ever done. But I've learned from some really talented chefs. And I always try to work at places I could never afford to eat at. So that way I get to learn the really classy, fancy stuff. The worst thing they could order during a rush at my work anyway is like something gluten free, because that stuff burns fast so it really throws off my timing. And I've never seen that movie. I have a hard time watching cooking shows or movies because it's kind of a reminder of how stressful it can be.

gluten free is like pure protein or something? i really don't know much about gluten. but very cool that you are cooking with the talented chefs. a good culinary skillset is like an artform.

it's too bad that you dislike films about cooking, as i was just going to recommend another of my favorites. A japanese film by the name of "Tampopo:"

sometimes a yolk is more than just a yolk, or sometimes there is no need for poaching at all.
