How to cook the perfect poached egg with no wispy bits in a pan or the microwave

the Express.But is there a trick to making the perfect egg?Well, firstly you need to make sure that the eggs you’re using are as fresh as possible – when eggs aren’t so fresh they tend to go wispy and don’t stay together as well.Check your egg’s freshness by popping it in a bowl of cold water.If it sinks straight to the bottom you’re good to go.Next, crack your egg into a bowl or mug rather than straight into the pan as this means you can pick out and shell and be more precise when adding it to the water.You can also tip away any of the runniest bits of egg white that gather around the thick section as these are hard to keep stuck to the poached egg.We’d recommend adding a drop or two of white vinegar to the water in your pan as chefs claim.
