It’s Tip Friday on Marilyn’s Treats. And todays tip is Poaching Eggs in Batches
Get the scoop on Poaching Eggs in Batches
When poaching the eggs put them into boiling salted water with a dash of vinegar as this helps to keep the egg together. The eggs can be poached in advanced and placed into a bowl of cold water then when the eggs are required they can be dropped back into boiling water.

Marilyn, I always poach a lot of eggs for Easter and as a result half of them break. This is just the tip I need to keep them together. Pinning and tweeting.
I am glad it was useful Mary! Good Luck! Enjoy your week.
This will come in handy. And you won’t believe me when I tell you why. I’ve never made a poached egg. For real. I’ve eaten them, but never made them. I’ve done so many other things in the kitchen, my kitchen and in the kitchen at fine dining restaurants and in the catering kitchen. But a poached egg has never been in my repertoire. Thanks for the tips, I will use them!
Nikki! crack your egg in boiling water and splash the yolk until it is covered. Slide a nylon turner under it and lift! Boil some water girl! I never break a yolk on these. The over easy???? Become scrambled. LOL
Marilyn, this is a great tip for poaching eggs. Your recipe looks awesome and thanks so much for sharing it with us at Full Plate Thursday. Have a great day and come back to see us real soon!

Thank you Miz Helen! I will see you on Thursday. Enjoy your week.
I’ve hated eggs all my life and never had a poached egg, but this sure sounds like a great tip for someone who enjoys them! Thanks for joining us at #FridayFrivolity!
For years Lisa I only ate hard boiled or scrambled since I could salt them to taste better. Then I met my husband, a short order cook, and found there was more to like! Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea! I can poach eggs pretty well, but it takes too long to make if I’ve got a group waiting.
I know. I usually serve scrambled in those cases. It is nice to have options!
Such a great tip! I’ll have to try poaching eggs now! 🙂

Thanks Jess!
It’s been well over 40 years since I’ve had a poached egg . Thanks for the reminder and the tip!
You are welcome! I love poached as I always end up wearing my over easy!
Great tip. I love poached eggs. Thanks for sharing with us all at Family Joy Blog Link Up Party. Hope to see you next week!
You are welcome Charlene. Thanks for commenting.
I don’t think I have ever tried to poach an egg. But now I totally want to. Ha ha! I love your Friday tips.
Wow! Boil enough water to cover the egg. Splash water until the white is cooked enough for you and plate over toast. They never stick or break the yolk. You won’t go back to flipping eggs again! Enjoy.
I love poached eggs. Have never used vinegar before. Will give it a try!
It is cool. My son learned that in science class.
Great post. Thanks for sharing this!
You are welcome Sherry. I am glad you found it useful.
