Ben Starr - How to Poach an Egg

Ben Starr shows you a fool-proof way to poach an egg. No need for stirring and swirling. No special tools needed, and certainly no microwave. This is the method developed by Julia Child, and it works perfectly every single time. No more overcooked (or undercooked) eggs, this method produces perfectly-formed eggs with molten centers each time you try it!

Awesome, Ben! You are a great teacher. I would much rather watch you on TV than any of the other cooking show hosts because you are very down-to-earth, charming and relatable.  Thanks for your reply on Facebook; I'm going to make sure more people find out about you! :) ~ Mary

@benthegrate Have you ever considered teaching? You have a way of explaining things without being too complicated, and you explain it in a way that will have other people understand the technique better.

Who wants to waste their time putting a hole in the egg, boiling water, then waiting for them to poach. Just get a poacher and shove them in the microwave, sure, the taste may be slightly effected, but who gives a....It's more convenient than messing about doing this every morning|!
