This recipe demonstrates a foolproof method for making multiple, perfectly poached eggs at once. By using a large skillet and cooking the eggs off the heat, you'll get neatly formed whites and creamy, runny yolks every time, without the usual mess or fuss.

Analyzing cooking steps...
Using a wide, 12-inch skillet is preferable to a deep saucepan as it allows for more even cooking and makes it easier to add the eggs.
Adding a little white vinegar to the water helps the egg whites to set quickly, preventing them from becoming frayed and messy.
By cracking the eggs into cups first, you can add them all to the skillet at once, ensuring they all cook for the same amount of time.
Cooking the eggs off the heat in sub-boiling water is a gentle method that prevents them from being agitated by bubbles, resulting in a more uniform shape.
