Use fresh eggs, and don't have the water boiling furiously, just simmering gently. Use a mug to gently lower the egg in if you want to be even more careful.cliche guevara said:Whenever i do that i just end up with a complete mess.

Raw egg white is grim.Also, stir the water furiously in a circle just beforehand to create a vortex before you drop the egg in - it helps pull the whites in around the yolk. You can also add a drop of vinegar which helps but affects the taste. Mainly it's the freshness of the egg - there outer layer of white gets more and more watery as the egg gets older.Crispy said:Use fresh eggs, and don't have the water boiling furiously, just simmering gently.

But strangely, runny yolk out of a stone cold poached egg is utterly vileStructaural said:Raw egg yolk is a different kettle of fish though, Advocaat anyone?

No, sod this spinny shit. It works about one time in 3, and only in deep water. My technique is shallow water, gently simmering in a frying pan. The egg spreads a little bit, but it's predictable, and it doesn't get any wider than a slice of toast. It's low stress, simple and involves no special skills.ymu said:Also, stir the water furiously in a circle just beforehand to create a vortex before you drop the egg in - it helps pull the whites in around the yolk.
