      The perfect way to poach eggs, these are great! For me, 2 1/2 minutes is just right. A cook's note from Gourmet magazine that I find very helpful is: Poached eggs keep overnight. Transfer eggs as cooked with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water, then chill in water. To reheat eggs, lower them into simmering water with a slotted spoon and cook 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towels. Thanks for posting CountryLady!

      I am the only poached egg eater in this house. Therefore, I do not make 8 eggs at one time! However, I always add a little vinegar to "keep the whites together". It is a great little trick!

      This worked out very nicely. I don't think I turned the heat up high enough at first though, as it took a very long time for my water to simmer! But once it did, the eggs were good and it was easy. I even got my 2 year old to have some, and she has always refused eggs!

      Easy and delicious. I am fairly new to poaching eggs and this will be my "go to" recipe for poached eggs. I only cooked 2 eggs, the only thing missing was toast for sopping up all that runny yummy yolk. Thanks for posting CountryLady

      This was good but I'm going to need a lot of practice making these I'm afraid. My eggs didn't look to good but they tasted good.

      Been poaching eggs like this for years and thought for this morning a nice quick breakfast but I was really tired after a really bad night (very little sleep) and muffed it up a little but still very much enjoyed (my main mistake I think was that I took the eggs straight out of the fridge where normally I have them at room temperature). Thank you CountryLady, made for All You Can Cook Buffet.

      This review is from my DH. He wanted to try poached eggs - never had them before. I followed the directions exactly and sprinkled with salt and pepper when serving. He thoroughly enjoyed them. 5 stars all the way!

      My picky youngest son even liked these! I have troubles getting him to eat "healthy" -- and this was a definite yummy and healthy treat for him. Thank you for posting. -Heather

      What I thought would be an OK late breakfast, turned out to be simply wonderful. I followed the directions exactly and it worked perfectly. The eggs stayed together and the yolks were amazing. I wasn't sure I would like the texture of the eggs, which was holding me back from making a poached egg. BUT, these were so delicious that I savored every bite. Thanks for the great, easy, anyone can make recipe. LOVED IT.

      This was my first attempt at making poached eggs. Your instructions were wonderful. I do need to ''practice' a little to get them looking as pretty as Leslie's photo....but I'll work on that. :) Thanks for sharing. Made for the May Pool Party Tag in the Diabetic Forum

      I saw Leslie's photograph and had to ask her how long she poached the eggs since I get easily gagged by undercooked eggs - I took her advice at 5 minutes. Absolutely perfect match with my Hollandaise! thanks for the technique Country Lady and Thanks to Leslie for the timing. SA ;)

      Thank you so much. Mine were NOT perfect, but durn close. And closer than they have ever been in my history. I am suspicious that I was over eager and should have let the water get a little hotter and should have used eggs that had not been hanging our for two weeks. But I adore poached eggs and really thank you for teaching me how to make them. Reg

      Very good eggs. The only complaint is even though I tried to drain them by using a slotted spoon, there still was a little more water than I would have hoped to have. But I think this is something I have to work on. Maybe blotting them with a paper towel will help. But I loved how easy these are to make. My grandson likes a soft yolk in his eggs -- and I'm always breaking the yolk when I try and fry them -- so I was excited at how easy I was able to get the yolks as he likes them.

      I love poached eggs but mine always turn out messy when I try them in a pot of water. This was the answer to my problem. I made these for a late night snack and they hit the spot. Wonderful recipe and easy to make. Thanks for posting.
