Cooking tips

  • When boiling eggs or making poached eggs, adding salt helps the protein-rich egg whites to set quickly without spreading.
  • Depending on your preference, you can adjust the cooking time between 5 to 7 minutes to change the doneness from soft-poached to fully set.
  • The finished poached eggs are great served over warm rice with soy sauce and sesame oil, or used as a topping for sandwiches and salads.

Recommended for

  • Those who have always failed to shape poached eggs and are afraid of creating a whirlpool in a pot.
  • Those who want a moist soft-poached topping for bibimbap, brunch, ramen, and more.
