Video Blog: ieat learns to Poach Eggs
I am sure you all have heard of Eggs Benedict right? No, it is not what the Pope has for breakfast. Eggs Benedict is a famous dish that was named after a New York stockbroker at the Waldorf hotel after he had ordered the combination of buttered toast, ham, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce as a cure for a hangover.
Today chef Tim shows us how to poach an egg and also to make hollandaise sauce. Once you have mastered these two things, you can make your own Eggs Benedict(ham), Eggs Florentine (spinach), Eggs Montoya (filet mignon), Eggs Royale (bacon).... heck, maybe even Eggs Toa Payoh (luncheon meat), just in time for you to impress your significant other for a Valentine's day breakfast!
Hope you enjoy the video and do let us know how your eggs benedict went!

just some details to add on, hope it helps :)
Acid in poaching liquid.
Reason: Acid coagulates protein :) It speeds up the coagulation process making it(protein in egg) set faster. not too much though, just a tsp for that amount of water shown in the video.
Poaching temperature: 71-82 DegC. Anything lower, egg yolk will not coagulate well (egg yolk coagualtes at about 70 DegC) anything too high, u will not achieve a nice smooth appearance on the outside. (think egg in maggie mee)
Melted butter or clarified butter temperature: not more then 45 DegC or it will split.
making hollandaise: on a 80 DegC water bath
