1. Use a pan that is at least 3" deep so there is enough water to cover the eggs, and they do not stick to the bottom of the pan. Also make sure your pan is wide enough to hold all the eggs you will be poaching.
2. Working with the egg one by one, break or crack each egg onto a saucer, ramekin, small cups, or bowls.
3. If your water is too coll. the eggs will separate apart before it cooks; if the water is too hot, you will end up with tough whites and over cooked yolks. You will want to bring the water to about 160-180 deg F.
As a rule of thumb, bring the water to a boil and then reduce it to a rolling simmer put in the eggs.
