Poaching eggs. Yes. I've been doing it since I was about 10 years old. I use a designated non stick cheapass pan and spray it with Pam. Bring the water just to a low boil then turn the heat down and temper it with vinegar. Vinegar helps keep the whites tight (the only tighty whiteys in this house lol). Then once the eggs are dropped in, bring the heat back up just until it wants to boil and let them cook. When they are firm enough to lift out of the water, they're done!
The Pam and the non stick coating lets the egg literally float in the water. They can stick to pans even under water which is fine for bland tasting egg drop soup. LOL
Y'all probably already know all this but that's how I do it.
