Make Perfect Poached Eggs With A Mesh Strainer


Making poached eggs isn’t too difficult, but making them perfectly tight takes practice. J. Kenji Lopez-Alt offers this foolproof method, which he says works 100 per cent of the time: use a metal mesh strainer to get rid of excess white.

See the whole technique, which Kenji says he heard from chef Heston Blumenthal and Harold McGee, in the Serious Eats video above.
