    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.

    I just made poached eggs for the first time from this recipe. It was very easy and they turned out great. I was a little scared to cook them for the amount of time that Alton said, and they came out a little runny. That will teach me! I cooked them for about four and half minutes. My three year old daughter loved them as well. Thanks Alton!

    I find that either with the non-stick pan or 3" in sauce pan, adding he eggs doesn't go as easily as it did in the show. This might be a case for that uni-tasker: poached egg pan.

    This was tricky to do and the eggs turned out hard boiled at my first attempt. Poaching takes practice no matter what.
