How (Not To) Poach an Egg

The vortex method has always worked fine for me, but the best way to prevent straggly, runny whites is to use FRESH eggs. The older an egg gets, the runnier the white, so look for the freshest eggs you can find. Not so easy in the supermarket, but if you have access to a farmers market and can find fresh, pasture-raised eggs, not only will they taste better but they will be much easier to poach. Looking at the photos on this post, it looks like those eggs are many weeks old!
