English Cooking Verbs // How to Poach an Egg! 🍳


cooking verbs and how to poach an egg
hi everyone welcome to the very first
video lesson from English I’m so excited
that you’re here so excited actually I’m
going to do a dance okay today’s lesson
is going to be about cooking verbs and
I’m going to show you these verbs by
cooking a very simple breakfast recipe
it’s called poached eggs on toast to
poach something means to cook it in
liquid so poached eggs are eggs that are
cooked in water so what do we need two
fresh eggs 1 liter of water 1 tablespoon
of white vinegar a medium sized frypan a
spatula a stove and to serve our eggs
we’ll need some toast not bread
butter salt and pepper ready let’s do it
first light the stove
put the fry pan on the stove then pour
the water into the fry pan
wait until the water is simmering so to
show you the difference between boiling
water and simmering water the water in
this pot is boiling so it’s very hot
there’s lots of bubbles and the water in
this pan is simmering so there’s a few
small bubbles but it’s not yet as hot as
boiling then add the vinegar to the
water and stir with a spoon crack the
eggs into the pan carefully
poached eggs are served on toast so
toast is just a slice of bread that has
been toasted in a toaster spread some
butter on the toast okay it’s time to
get our eggs out of our fry pan I’m
going to use the spatula to carefully
lift the eggs out of the frying pan and
let the water drain away and then put
the egg on the toast and repeat
so an egg has two different parts the
white part is called the egg white and
the yellow part here is called the egg
yolk very important when you’re making
poached eggs is that the egg yolk is
runny and not hard so we can test that
in a minute but first let’s add our salt
and pepper to our eggs and cut our yolk
open and see if we have a soft runny egg
yolk perfect okay so now I’m going to
grab a copy and sit down and have my
breakfast I hope you’ve enjoyed this
