Recipe tips
It’s often the small details that make the biggest impact in the kitchen, so we’re sharing the tips we rely on when cooking and creating recipes
Adding white wine vinegar to your water already helps to make great eggs by preventing the whites from separating, but if you’re looking for foolproof poached eggs, try this tip: when the water is almost simmering, carefully lower your eggs (shell-on) into the water, roll them about for 10-15 seconds and remove them again before letting your water come to a simmer and poaching as usual. This quick dip starts the whites off cooking, giving them a little more structure when you eventually crack your eggs into the water to poach.
