Perfectly Poached Eggs

1. Leave your freshest eggs out of the refrigerator, until they reach room temperature.
2. Bring 5cm of water to the boil in a pan, then reduce the temperature to the lowest simmering point. Add one teaspoon of vinegar or lemon to the boiling water.
3. Break the egg into a small bowl or saucer.
4. Either create a whirlpool or wait for all the bubbles on the side of the pan disappear, before gently sliding the egg into the water.
5. Cook the egg for 3-4 minutes.
6. Lift the egg out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel, serve immediately.
