I can't believe imortalSxNxB can't spell the word 'immature'

WTF? Who wants cold eggs? When I poach my eggs, I eat in on an English muffin or bagel with cheese and I live them hot.. or even warm, not freezing cold! GAHHHH!!

[pladeout]

Is everyone missing the real highlight of this video? This girl is beautiful and she can cook me eggs anytime.

@Smillez06 Thank you! I was gonna say something along them lines myself. It's rather annoying the amount of people who don't pay attention to the videos and then make stupid comments.

wow she rocks! :-D

For those who are idiots, the ice water is just if you want to hold them in the fridge for a few days. You can also do this as a quick dip to make sure the food stays warm, BUT doesn't cook the egg all the way through. If you poach the egg and leave it on a plate while it's still hot for a few minutes the yolk will cook through completely from it's own heat. You halt the cooking process if you are making a bunch for like a family. If you're just doing it for yourself you don't have to do this.

i didnt know that ice water was just water n ice. boy have i been doing that wrong

[alizzarine]

If we're feeling risky could we poach the eggs in Dorito's Consomme?

[RailoX]

@braaup They don't become freezing cold when you leave them in cold water for 5 seconds which was what she did. It just halts the cooking, if you were listening.

umm how do i know it was perfect if you never poked it to make sure the inside was actually runny? false advertisement!!

[normalpsychology]

Let's BE risk takers. Hell yea. Behave!

Haw Haw,that was really funny, 'trim it up with scissors??' you're kidding Me,ever heard of stirring a vortex[whirlpool] in the water,then slide the Egg in and it sets fine,without all the scissors nonsense. use Ice water if you have a crowd,slide the eggs back in the Hot water for 10 seconds,then serve.
