Best and Easiest Way to Poach Multiple Eggs At Once

Poaching is among the healthiest methods for preparing eggs.
When you speak of poaching, this is a moist-heating and indirect cooking technique where you boil the egg without the shell. According to Young Official, this ranks as among the healthiest way for cooking an egg out of all the different standard techniques in egg preparation.

For around 70 calories, one big poached egg can supply 4.7 grams of primarily unsaturated fat, over 6 grams of high quality protein, and sufficient amounts of choline, vitamin D, and antioxidant substance. Choline is a nutrient essential for a healthier brain function.

Just like hard- and soft-boiled eggs, in general, poached eggs have considerable lower fat and calories compared to fried, baked, and scrambled eggs. Standard baking and scrambling approaches in general require one to two tablespoons of heavy cream or butter.
On the other hand, omelets typically need less butter and a large frittata might include half a cup or more of olive oil. Normally, fried eggs are made with a single tablespoon of butter for every egg, whether this is prepared in a nonstick pan or a routine frying type.

Poached eggs are being prepared using boiling water at a temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Rushed, fried, and baked eggs cook at higher temperatures. For example, a skillet can reach 400 degrees while being fried. Cooking with high temperature, specifically frying, produces dangerous substances called AGEs or sophisticated glycation final product.

Poaching, steaming, and boiling are recommended techniques for cooking to reduce the production of AGEs during cooking. Boiling and poaching alike can also avoid the oxidation of fats in the egg yolk during and before cooking. Oxidation happens when food gets exposed to air.
