How to Poach an Egg:

Fill a small sauce pan with water and bring to a boil. The size of the saucepan and the size of the eggs will determine how much water you should use. You need at least a couple of inches of water in your saucepan for the poached eggs to turn out right.
Once the water has come to a boil, bring the heat down to a simmer. Now add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the water.
Bring the cup with your egg as close to the water as possible and gently pour the egg into the simmering water. If you are using more than one egg you will want to wait at least 30 seconds for the egg to begin to set before adding a second one to the saucepan. This will help keep eggs from clumping together.
Allow the egg to cook for approximately 3 minutes, If the egg starts to break up and spread around the pan, use a slotted spoon to guide it back to the center.
When the poached egg reaches the desired level of done-ness remove it from the water with a slotted spoon.
