    How to Make Poached Egg

    1. Heat water in a sauce pan till it reaches a good boil. Add vinegar and salt to the water.
    2. Reduce the flame and keep it in simmer.
    3. Crack a nice fresh egg in a small bowl and set it aside.
    4. Take a wooden spoon and give a nice swirl to the water in the sauce pan.When it swirls nicely carefully drop the egg inside the sauce pan.
    5. The egg will start swirling which makes the egg not settling and sticking at the bottom of the sauce pan.
