I used to have the magic touch when it came to these things, they always came out great.
But recently I've been trying my hand ad them again because I haven't had good eggs in a while and every time I end up overdoing them. How do I make a good poached egg?

>use mesh strainer to get the extraneous watery whites out (i do a lot of baking so i just save these for light egg washes)
>temperature control, heat needs to be lowered or turned off after coming to a boil so it's not agitating the eggs
>move them with a slotted spoon to get even heating you can tell doneness by how much the yolk moves

I don't bother with doing a vortex or adding vinegar or anything. Putting them in still water will make them have a little more white on one side but simply flipping them in the water after the whites have started to set is enough to evenly cook the yolk.

I get the water to almost be simmering, then crack 3 eggs in there for 4 minutes. I don't bother with vinegar or a vortex or anything. I remove them with a little strainer after 4 minutes

1 cup of water
Crack egg into cup
Poke yolk with tooth pick
Cover with paper towel
Microwave for 1 - 2 minutes
You now have perfect poached egg
