I’m head chef at my restaurant. In the Netherlands. This is how my English mother poaches eggs…. I’m dying inside!

And this is why English men set sail to establish the largest empire the world has known…
to eat somewhere else…

Estrangement is always an option! We would understand!

Look you can’t choose the family you’re born into, but you can choose to cut all ties and tell everyone you were orphaned at birth.

She needs to learn about the vinegar trick.
The only good things english people make are beef wellington and shepards pie. Everything else is trash like mashed peas spread on bread.

Are they simultaneously stuck to the pan and floating in the water?

This is not an English thing, don’t pin this on us!

I call that broaching. Start eggs in bacon grease or butter and then finished by adding hot water until poached. I do this when I serve Eggs Benedict.

How’s that poached? HOW. IS. THAT. POACHED?!?!?!
hitch_please
I’d like to see a level on that pan and stove to know what we’re working with. One side is completely submerged and the other has a yolk poking out? Is this what I’m seeing?
Aside from not separating the eggs, I think this is how Turkish people poach eggs. It’s quite effective, if not as pretty. Videos on how to make Cilbur often use this method.

Just remember if you over poach your eggs you can use those hard poached eggs for egg salad

Eggs are the worst for me. I can cook a beautiful egg for myself, but breakfast was my worse nightmare.
Honestly you could do microwave poached eggs and they’d probably come out better.

As long as someone isn’t doing something that’s going to make me sick or kill me I don’t make fun of how they cook for me.

Add toast, and you have my hangover breakfast.

My husband tried to convince me this is how his mom does it. I was too hung over to make actual poached eggs.
His mom also microwaves bacon…sooo 🤷♀️
Fried eggs over hash it is!

My last job i just left was like this. The whole place was an absolute shit show. I’m glad I’m not there anymore. The whole.place is a fucking lawsuit waiting to happen. I give it another year to year and a half before it closes the doors.

That’s a poached omelette
This [actually works with a pan](https://youtu.be/h3X-0dvalYw?si=uQg1_nG16tWxFNJW)…if you do it properly
