Don't boil it, simmer it

Water salt vinegar
Create a vortex in the simmering (not boiling) water and drop it in. Lid over and wait for 2-4 minutes
Done

Good advice

>>17703707
Salt is not needed, nor is the vortex part. Just buy really fresh eggs, like less that a week old. Also what kind of recipe is that, "cook for 2 min or double that time"

Time variance is so you can cook it to your liking. Soft, medium, hard poached.

My dad would always make his eggs by cracking one into a small skillet, adding a little water, and covering it. He would call that a "poached egg." Obviously not a poached egg but what would you even call that?
