Inspired by Julie & Julia -- which I saw with Jamie last week -- I decided to try poaching an egg today for lunch. After all, it's probably among the healthiest ways to cook an egg since you don't use butter. I had heard it was hard to do, so I was prepared for multiple attempts.
But, today everything worked out and I had the most perfect poached egg ever on my first try. I should have taken a picture of it, but it is now residing in my belly. I have decided that I will be making poached eggs instead of fried eggs from now on. SO GOOD.

I bought some silicon cup things that are supposed to make poaching eggs a snap but still haven't tried them over a year later. But you've inspired me to try them. What method did you use?
By the way, avoid the microwave egg poachers your mom buys. They overcook half the egg and the rest is raw. Bleh!
Hi Kathy! I didn't see your comment! I just did the put in a little vinegar in the water trick. It really worked well.
I never knew my mom had microwave egg poachers! I didn't think my mom had ever poached an egg before!
