You should start with cold eggs when poaching. It's not necessary to pierce the bottom of the egg with a pin. The fresher the eggs, the easier they will poach. Cook the eggs for about 3-4 minutes.
Thanks for the demo Shelley! I really apprecite the lemon juice tip - I'd always used vinegar (ala JC) which meant a cold water rinse but with lemon juice the ice water isn't needed. Did you use cold eggs and did you peirce the bottom with a pin?
Wow!!! How many awesome cooks on youtube!!!! ...now I can't decide which one is the best...dang! :(

i read the comment about 3-4 minutes but do i turn off the heat after i add the eggs? or do i let it continue to heat up for that time?
other than that, very clear video, thanks for posting!

@OsamaBinLooney Leave the heat on when you add the eggs and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Shelley, thanks for showing me the correct way to poach eggs. I've been doing it wrong forever! About how long did those eggs cook?
