    I just did two eggs in three cups of water in a sauce pan, for six minutes! This was the first time I ever did it and it was perfect!

    Alton is a genius! I have poached eggs using different methods and they all were more complicated and didn't turn out as well. My husband and I just loved the eggs done this way and it was so easy! Never doubt Alton!

    I always follow Alton's method for cooking the perfect hard boiled egg so I expected this to be the perfect method for poached eggs. I let my eggs sit for 8 minutes and they were overdone. Other than the timing, this is the method I will use from now on. I'll just try 6 minutes next time to make sure I get a runny yolk.

    I've never made poached eggs before but I love eating them. These tips really helped! I used a large non stick skillet, added about an inch of water and a splash of vinegar, and let the water come to a simmer before adding a couple eggs using a small custard bowl. I let them cook for about 4-5 minutes, then removed with a slotted spoon. They turned out really well! I will definitely be using Alton's egg poaching tips in the future.

    So easy! It was my first time and the eggs were very tasty. A welcome diversion from the usual fried prep.

    This couldn't be easier! I have tried poaching before, but I was adding too much vinegar and the eggs tasted like vinegar. Pulling off heat and covering is so magnificently unfussy. Love it! Eggs turned out perfect.

    Wow, worked like a charm. I was skeptical of adding the egg to actively boiling water but after 4 other attempts at poaching an egg this morning, this worked perfectly.

    I CAN PACH AN EGG! I ACTUALLY POACHED 4 THE FIRST TIME I TRIED IT!!!! Great tips and easy to follow. The eggs came out perfect the very first time! I don't think I will ever fry another egg...

    I tryed for 2 days to get poaching an egg down... It never went right, they feel apart or were eather too runny or too hard. Then I tryed Alton's both ways. They were sooo much better. I will say that I like the lemon juice much better than the vinegar. Now I can have my poached eggs and eat them too. Thank you Mr.Brown

    I used the lemon juice and it worked fine. I prefer a healthier way to eat my eggs without the smell of a pan fried egg on my clothes. This worked really well. I also like the texture of the poached egg as I recently had braces added to my pearly white smile.
