Gordon Ramsey - Poached Egg

[chickenwingbro]

I tried this, Failed epicly

[MrBarru]

ramsays eyes are blue!!

[KnowledgeAddicted]

mmm fucking yummy

[HumaneAnon]

Last shot made me touch my testicles in pain. lol

[recca7]

I love his little cooking tips and tricks that he teaches people...anybody who wants to learn how to cut an onion without crying, learn from him, he's got a video on youtube that shows you how to do it

[82ayda]

ok....i'm gonna do this now for breakfast. i'm going to follow it exactly like he did it. i hope to god it works mr ramsay

[wggmn3]

What about VINEGAR in the water?...otherwise Ramsey keeps it animated, short & sweet (well, maybe not so sweet) & to the point...

[Superboy0388]

should i use a boiling water? I was unable to get a perfect poached egg..when i pour in the egg into the pot it looks like the white egg is going to wrap the yolk but then after a while the white part suddenly burst to the top of the water..any idea what is wrong?

[recca7]

@Superboy0388 I don't think it's suppose to be boiling, just a simmer should be good...the water didn't look like it was boiling in the video...

why did he stop doing the F Word?! by far my fav series from GR

[norb1937]

I like Gordon. He is a no nonsense chef. No bullshit from Gordon.

[goRespond]

Where's minute 1:00? I feel ripped off..

[agentjucey]

i want gordon ramsay sperm for my kids...lol

[stevenweir76]

I will never make poached eggs another way again.

[MrPhiCao]

not easy for first timers, but its fucking delicious. the texture and aroma of the yolk. Yummy!

[mynx76]

I read Gordon Ramsey's description on how to poach an egg and it worked fairly well for me. I came to watch this after and maybe next time they will form more of the oval shape cos mine were relatively flat. So long as you get a good vortex it should do the trick and you have to not stir it after you have dropped it in or if you have to increase the momentum do it really carefully. I broke the egg yolk in one, big mess :(

[ScottishCaledonian]

This technique is fucking uselss, I have tried making poached eggs about 15 times just last night using this stupid technique and it is impossible. Poached eggs are the most difficult thing to cook on the planet, nothing is more fucking difficult.

[Ghenghy]

@ScottishCaledonian lol Moron! Yeah dropping eggs in water is fucking HARD!!!

[ScottishCaledonian]

@Ghenghy It doesnt work for me.

[nyo267n]

@ScottishCaledonian You have to put it in carefully, and then "manually" help wrapping the egg white around the yolk.

Use unsalted water, in which you add vinegar. And only use fresh eggs, since fresh eggs have a firmer egg white. Have you tried this?

You'll almost always have to trim off excess egg white before you're serving it. But I agree: poaching an egg can be really tricky.

[Tails04]

@nyo267n With this way you really dont have to wrap it yoursrelf.. it does most of the work.. ive been poaching eggs for a while now.. well since masterchef season 1.. and i literally put them on everything.. this way saves a lot of pain in the ass wrapping..

[nyo267n]

@Tails04 I could never get this to work out perfectly, but perhaps I haven't used fresh enough eggs.

[Tails04]

@nyo267n You gotta make sure you put it going with the spin... liek he say spin it that way put it in that way..

[stevenweir76]

@ScottishCaledonian - I tried it once and it worked flawlessly, follow exactly what he does and it works brilliantly, poach for about 3 - 3.5 minutes and it will be the best poached egg ever. Make sure to use deep water, a small pot is fine. After whisking the water quickly put your eggs in, and then gently stir the top with a wooden spoon to maintain momentum. After a minute you don't need to stir. I put into cold (not ice cold) water afterward as I was immediately serving the eggs.

[IchigoFan777]

i wish i could do this i love cooking but im 13 -__-

[BigGunz1000]

@IchigoFan777 i really don't see what is stopping you from cooking an egg...

[IchigoFan777]

@BigGunz1000 i dont know how to use our oven

[rockerseven]

:58, he was stabbing an alien larva

[EpalBoyz]

thats so cool!

[sketin]

I have just created the spiraled egg.

[daybuge]

Just tried this, less mozzarella ball, more after-birth :(

[kaisergrendel]

@daybuge Did you put vinegar in the water?

[Dredica]

@kaisergrendel yes you can put vinegar in the water or lemon juice or white wine something that is acidic

[kaisergrendel]

@Dredica Actually I was replying to daybuge, because he/she ruined their egg when it didn't congeal properly

[danielkvottrup]

Just made this 30 seconds ago - Tastes fucking delicious,

[dtothelu]

0:58 like popping a zit

[mcat2317]

That's easy as hell. I am going to try it now

[sonic911]

ew

[SinfulOcelot]

Gordon Ramsay is the absolute truth when it comes to making food. So just listen to him when he gives you an advice and shut the fuck up.

[mylife1221]

Look at his eyes! :O

[SingFromeTheHeart101]

looks nasty as hell

[AsBielLokOo]

what's the name of the complete recipe for this? and/or where can i find it?

[emtildeath]

@AsBielLokOo erm boil water, stir into vortex, drop egg in. How fucking thick are you ?

[2Dudes1971]

i just jizz in my pants.

[PatskiG]

YUMMM :)

[Shonem]

I was looking up how to poach and egg and found this, nailed it on my first try.

Though it still didn't look that nice. lol

[madchef]

@Shonem Ramsay also adds vinegar to the water, try that (1 tablespoon or so). It really helps

[iwatcher69]

what was that green soup called that the poached egg was in?

[pkpoints]

@iwatcher69 watercress soup

[iwatcher69]

@pkpoints

thanks

[Mr2Phreshh]

@iwatcher69 broccoli soup

[alogli]

f word is a great series...

this is season 1 episode 5 btw!

[MW2stickyfingersph]

hahahh this is too hard for me but now i know how they make egg drop soup : )

[pkpoints]

@MW2stickyfingersph what that isint egg drop soup its watercress soup with a poached egg

[MW2stickyfingersph]

@pkpoints ya i know,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i was just saying that the way my eggs turned out looked like the egss in egg drop soup. but thanks for pointing that out?

[androidfarmer]

Wow.. i just looked this up after not being able to figure out how to get -all- the white to stay in a ball... turns out I made a couple just like this, but didn't know every bit of white wouldn't stick.

I added a teaspoon of vinegar, but want to try it without as well to see the difference.

Onward!

[PleaseTurnUpTheAC]

those of you you are worried about the egg being cold...

do you see how quickly he's takes the egg out of the water?

it's long enough to cool it down to stop cooking it on the inside,

but it's not long enough to actually make the egg 'cold'.

try it first before you make rude coments.

because i tried this and on my first try it turned out great.

(and i like not having to smell the vinegar)

[illmaticways]

you don't add white whine vinegar on the water?

[pathsounds]

@illmaticways I'm sure he did, just didn't show it. Vinegar is very important to help the whites coagulate.

[lats28883]

Damn you Ramsey, you made that look easy. This snotty looking yellow and white mess I have on top of my muffin right now is proof that it is not.

The struggle continues......

[akuanakmetal]

@lats28883 yeah, at first I tried it succeed, but the third tried it doesnt look so circle anymore after I poached. does anybody know why is it happen?

[JacoLatern]

um....wats the difference between a poached egg and soft boiled egg?

[AaronWinfield]

@JacoLatern

Ermmm, one is cooked in it's shell and the other is poached in water? Also, I think poached tastes much better.

[JacoLatern]

@AaronWinfield yea the method i know. kinda wonder wat the texture difference is when eating those two types? better? o.o more flavor in the egg taste? guessing its more harder version of the soft boiled white jellyish egg feel when eating it

[JohnWoo]

How do you poach more than one egg at a time using this method?

[tamick21]

question how long does this poaching take? 1 min?

[designermite]

Not the way I remember my Mom making them by I will give it a try...

[wra7h]

perfect

[TrinRichard]

OMG what was on the egg at the end?

[Milosmilk]

It's a spinach soup with a poached egg in it. Delicious.

[AllanChinChan]

@Milosmilk It wasn't spinach soup, it was watercress soup with butter ^^

[BigMig5]

no no, use vinegar NOT salt. Salted water discourages the coagulation of the egg.

Use 1tsp per Litre of water of vinegar.

[coldhalochess]

Add vinegar or salt to water,it really helps.

[roscoupnorth]

I have egg gas

[martha368]

Shwayfe.

[bo0mk1d]

i came at 0:58

[kiminokami]

You are weird in more ways than this.

[sofeecat]

hahaha, gross

[Anaklondike]

@bo0mk1d So did the egg...apparently.

[smrfox99]

@bo0mk1d Holy shit.....you too?!

[srs6d]

Made my first poached egg on first attempt after watching this. Thanks for posting!

[kiminokami]

and it worked?

[kfeder76]

I added vinegar.....but other than that damn good Gordon....thank you!!! I used to not be able to cook macaroni and cheese...this Youtube is awesome...now I cook anything and everything...one video lesson and bam...I eat well.

[blue177]

gordon's eyes are beautiful..^_^..

[YoLninYo]

worked for me... but the whites were still there ... hmm... maybe I'll get salmonella ... but the method works though you have to do it one at a time and put it in the middle of the vortex.

[yOsHiBrO]

Salmonella is on the egg shell. If you wash your eggs prior to cracking it, you should be fine. But there is still a chance that there are micro cracks in the shell already. Either way, getting salmonella is pretty rare and washing it will limit your chances further.

[FaktTheFourthFace]

@yOsHiBrO egg shells are poress salmonella can still leech into the egg...

[yOsHiBrO]

You're right. At the same time, there is a 1/10,000 chance of an egg having salmonella on it. And most of the time, the egg shell is enough to stop it. Washing it will also decrease your chances of getting it. So I would say just enjoy your eggs and chances are you won't get it.

[nzads]

Salmonella is easily killed. You've got more chance of salmonella infection from human factors than the cooking process.

[tobythesandwich]

what kind of soup was that?

[Darkshadowside]

my guess is its his broccoli soup. check his recipe on youtube

[JimmyChiffels]

it's actually easy.... how can you possibly mess up on a poached egg??

[dcm132]

brilliant and when the egg is cold you put it in the soup ( the soup is usually hot) so wen u put the egg in the soup it doesnt really stay cold

[juanphoa]

dude that shit didn't work man. my yolk and white shit seperated like a divorce or some shit. :( why ah?

[pono619]

you need to put an acid in the water to make it poach right. try adding a tablespoon or 2 of white vinegar or any vinegar. i also think some places use lemon juice. look up an eggs Benedict recipe, it will explain it better.

[junon]

you probably didnt pour some vinegar into the water.

[Espio360]

Aren't you precious, pretending to be funny.

[rcephuk]

certainly, newly laid egg makes better poached eggs and also need  a right amount of acid and barely simmering hot water

[krayzgerman]

He makes it look so easy, it's pretty hard to do.

[theBadloves]

Surely placing the poached eggs in ice water makes them go cold and then you end up with cold poached eggs? I dont see how they could still be hot enough to eat after sitting in cold water?

[Zephilindrum]

It's not that you -have- to put them in cold water, that's just to stop it from cooking. You could always take it out pre-maturely and let the carry-over heat cook it to your desired doneness, but since he put it in a soup, it was pretty much warmed back up to temperature.

[Magrakamajiora]

if you're making poached eggs on their own then yes, but usually (as in with this recipe, they are in soup) or in eggs benedict they're covered in holladaise, so that will bring the eggs back up to a palatable temperature.

[Arnatuile11]

i think the water is just to stop it from over cooking but he doesn't leave them in there for so long that they go cold.

[drowsy123]

you dip it in, and grab it right out. This way it cools it down but still has quite a bit of internal heat, which'll keep it warm.

[dukieshaggz]

Ramsey doesn't mess around when it comes to cooking. It was has this intense attitude.

[meinvent]

brilliant

[pocketlint59]

try adding vinegar to the water

[wurble]

damn I just made a poached egg but forgot to stir the water. it looked like a sad octopuss, but was still lovely. now I have to make another but remember to stir the water first!

[psychediva]

I followed Gordon's directions and the egg came out perfect. Now I don't have to pay $7 for eggs benedict at brunch.

[maketradefair1]

i stir the water before you put it in, but if you stir the water too violently, it can sometimes wreck the egg, so id recommend a very slow, soft stir

[TAMMIETAMMIE]

im amazed!

[jjjazzycraig]

i would love to see gordon kick bobby flays ass on iron chef

[hinson92]

Ramsey is the man... man

[justabloke1]

He is just demonstrating his technique for shaping the egg really.

[Maz1989]

he doesnt say how long to cook it for

[Tijger2099]

3 minutes will do

[14waltersn]

I did that. And the result was unbelivable.

[abdelgeleel]

wow! i love ramsey!!! i love u babii

[kawaramachi907]

looks like everybody kicked a goal!

[0MangoButter0]

corrr check out the ooze at the end

[Seyahhsod]

i KNOW RIGHT ..... it looks like something off of ALIAN (but im sure its delicious)

[Arangutang]

Look at those blue eyes of his.

[bottleneckbeck]

pretty fucking perfect poached egg there, ramsey

[tango4mango]

wow that soup looks good! :)

[bold1970]

the name of the soup is probably thick country vegatable,which was named after ramsay!lol

[P0WERAGE]

What kind of soup is that? thanks

[idlevice066]

watercress

[P0WERAGE]

Thanks idlevice066

[LittleCoatlicue]

lol i just tried this, half successful i guess. the egg white only half wrapped around, prbs due to the lack of speed. but the bursting sensation was there =)

[Nordland45]

Awesome

[mikezx2]

amazing

[ECA1982]

i fucking love his style. He is the best on the face of the planet.

[mrm4xim4m]

what about under neath the face though ??

[1FoOdLoCo1]

That yolk was pornographic

[DancingSpiderman]

That final shot of the eggyolk busting out, kinda gave me a tingly, horny buzz in my "yolk"

[mrm4xim4m]

haha wtf love it!

[hayatmussa]

Nice.I love cheif Ramsy.

[TwiggyRamirez0]

how long in the hot water before taking it out?

[bamboodlesh]

2-4 minutes, based on how runny you want the yolk to be.

[brassmonkey84]

i've tried it many times. i still can't get the egg white to wrap around the egg yolk!!

[Magrakamajiora]

me too, I don't know how he does it...

[juniosonga333]

try to put vinegar in the water and heIp the egg with a spoon... much easyer ;D

[codeinestation]

always found that the secret for a good poached egg is simply use a good free range egg.

[R3D00d]

This isn't amazing. This is how it's normally made when you don't have a poaching machine, year 9 Foodtech notes anyone?

[jmrobinson81]

Most people don't receive culinary training, dipshit.

[diggerf16]

Agreed, I'm in culinary school, if someone insulted me for knowing more then them, seriously?

[smoknjoe81]

wow if you guys know so much why are ya watchn' a vid on how to poach a egg? but im sure you have a answer for that .haha

[Makron5]

Picking up tips and tricks to up your game of course. You start browsing for food and you come across simple things like this and learn more about the technique and pick things up.

[ozema87]

Bump...

The point is that you know and you seem to think you're special because of the fact. Pft, some people who aren't chefs would find this interesting...

[georgesimmons61]

cheers matey!

[georgesimmons61]

this may sound silly, but can someone actually define simmering??i mean i know what it is, but i want to be precise with temperatures

[mynameisthepass]

Water normally begins to simmer at about 94°C (200°F).

It's taking the water to boil and then lowering the heat abit so that the water keeps it heat but does not really overcook what youre cooking.

[Leziii]

genius

[tehzeebs82]

what genius ??? lol its simple science

[jayradcliffe]

i need to make a poached egg now cos that looked amazing when the yolk came out

[pumpkinsam]

i add a pinch of salt to simmering water and a dash of rasberry vinegar which works well with the sweetness of confit cherry tomatoes that i put with it

[alexleecheeseng]

wow, perfectly done

[aussiedave87]

perfect poached egg!!

[thesirenrayne]

when i was in cooking school i was taught that.

[godivaontherocks]

golddragnet, I think that was watercress soup. The bit where the guy plunges his spoon into that egg yolk (1:00) looks darn tasty.

[fueradeltiempo84]

I've made it with just boiling water without any vinegar and it worked fine. it's important to drop the egg gently (as close to the surface of the water) so it stays rounded.

[golddragnet]

what was that soup at the end, looks nice

[bmoosenz]

I didnt get the information I need! no idea of time, depth, temp?

HOW HOW?

I must cook the perfect egg!

Gordons egg looks the dogs bollocks, mine looks the dogs breakfast! help me :(

[Youxsuckxass]

you use vinegar in the water to make the eggwhite fold over the yolk in simmering water. NOT boiling water, that destroys the egg.

leave it spinning in the water about 2-3 mins and dip it in the ice water.

im not sure how much vinegar you should use but i know if you use to much the whole egg will taste off vinegar and that is not a hit. hope it helped:)

[Magrakamajiora]

Best...comment...ever. LMAO

[joedaddysdaddy]

was that green eggs and hamm at the end?

anyways, now i can make poached eggs!

[Andyyyk47]

haha green eggs and hamm ^^

[pinoypwnz360]

w00t i cooked my first poached egg today!

:)

[RideCrashSnareTomDie]

I WAS JUST WAITING FOR THE EGG TO EXPLODE ALL OVER THE CAMERA AT THE END.. haha

[amyfood]

Beautiful...

[Saladzingers]

Don't poach an egg like this, it never works! The bubbles in the pan blast the egg apart! You need to heat the water until the bubbles are only just starting to leave the bottom of the pan, then slide the egg in as gently as possible (from a cup or something).

And you don't need to ice it, just take it out in plenty of time, remembering it will continue to cook a bit on the plate. Also, put it on a piece of kitchen roll to dry it off.

[jsho12]

Yeah buddy your technique is superior to Gordon Ramsay's - get real.

Letting the egg continue to cook on the plate is insane. It is not a steak which can handle a little excess heat. Good eggs need to be cooked just so to be perfect.

[Saladzingers]

Ok wise guy, answer me this: what happens when you're *not* serving it with hot soup? You serve them a cold egg? Or what, you re-poach it, or put it in a microwave, neither of which will preserve the runny yolk? I think Gordon's a great chef but mere mortals, I just don't think this is the best technique, that's all I'm saying...
