Revolutionize your poached egg technique with this sous vide method that delivers consistently perfect results every time. By precisely controlling the water temperature at 75°C/167°F, you'll achieve beautifully set whites and luxuriously runny yolks without the usual poaching challenges. Ideal for preparing multiple eggs simultaneously for weekend brunches or meal prep, this approach eliminates the stress of traditional poaching while producing restaurant-quality results.
I used several different sources for this information:
Sous Vide Sideways and Allrecipes are two of them.
The images are the results of my first effort. They look better than they were. They were waaaay too runny, even for a guy like me who likes them runny.
I went 13 minutes; should have gone 14, or even 15.
I only left them in the ice bath about 2 minutes.
Getting the shell off without leaving a lot of little shell pieces was a pain in the ass.
Having said that, I think if you had to do a lot of poached eggs, this might be a solution.
 
Ingredients
eggs
sous vide machine
water

Directions
The general consensus is to set your sous vide machine to 75C/167F.
Once the temperature is reached, gently place the whole eggs in the bath using a slotted spoon.
Times ranged from 13 to 14 minutes. I think 14 minutes is better.
Remove eggs from the sous vide bath with the slotted spoon once the timer goes off.
DO NOT wait. Even a minute can make a difference.
Place the eggs into a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to set the whites.
Both recipes suggest cracking the egg around the middle, in a slotted spoon to allow excess egg white to drain. I cracked mine closer to the top and the egg kind of "plopped" out.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
