ALLELUYA, ALLELUYA, ALLELUYA! Finally been able to make poached eggs just like the TV chefs. I had these this morning with some "door stopper" toast - boooooooooooom. You will need to have a " test run" first with this recipe only because I found 2 minutes simmering just not long enough ( whites were still a tad runny ) so I simmered for an extra 30 seconds, seems to have done the trick. Coincidentally, Hugh Fearnly was on the Sunday Brunch show this morning and he said this is how he cooks his poached eggs. - 27 Dec 2015
