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 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.

My husband thought he had the gold when it comes to this. I have read alot about adding vinegar and he never wanted to and I was afraid it would taste like it. I made the poached eggs with the vinegar and they truned out GREAT... They did smell like vinegar but didnt taste like them and they turned out great. Unfourtunatley I will make them from hear on out. I would like to try the lemon juice.

Guess only one other person had the problem I did with the white flying apart (which is very strange, its the same problem I usually have. To be fair I managed to fish out the majority of the white, and though unsightly it was pretty good. Think I'll try Alton's other recipe (which is different next time.

I made this tonight for the first time - a topping for a winter salad. What a hit with both myself & my hubby. He was not sure about the time frame, but we cooked them for 7 mins and they were a more of a soft boiled. Which we prefered to top a salad. Thanks Alton for all your help through out the years!

I have never been much of an egg person. After watching this show, I thought I might give poached eggs a shot. I never even considered it before. Alton made it seem so easy, and it was! I have become a master at it, and I LOVE them! I've been making a poached egg with an extra egg white every morning for breakfast. I wake up looking forward to it. Just another example of the Food Network chefs making cooking easier and more fun. I always feel like I've learned something, and I'm never afraid to try it. Keep it up, Alton and Food Network!

I was seriously stressed about my first attepmt at poachng eggs. Way easier than I thought. A bit whispy but still turned out great. Will probably use vinager instead of lemon juice next time. The tips definitley came in handy.
