"With six, you get eggroll."
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

This thread is cracking me up, although at times I feel I'm walking on eggshells so as not to offend...

I do enjoy a well poached egg, but it's a non-trivial cooking skill. I've never been able to pull it off. I get the water spinning and drop the egg in the middle and it just goes all shreddy. I've got one of these but it's just not the same.

I make up for it by making fresh Hollandaise and curing my own back bacon. My Eggs Benedict is fucking world-class, baby.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

The way I poach eggs is to use a saucer or small plate in a pan with a glass lid.
Put a small amount of water in, including some into the saucer.
Get it boiling, and then simmer till everything's heated.
Now, with it simmering, just break your egg gently into the saucer and put the lid back on. The steam cooks it, and virtually nothing sticks to the saucer. Mine come out perfect and it's pretty quick.

You do get a rattling noise with the steam bubbling under the saucer, but that's normal.

I poach mine in a metal ladle, submerged in the simmering water. A drop of white wine or cider vinegar in the tank seems to stop the whites going stringy.
