What is the best way to poach eggs?

Poached Eggs

Here's the best method for perfect poached eggs. Fill a saucepan with 3 inches of water. Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Crack a cold egg into measuring cup. Holding the cup close to the water, gently let the egg slide into it. Cook, uncovered, until the egg whites are completely set and the yolks begin to thicken. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon.
