      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

  1. Fit blade cover according to instructions - ensure high waves are over high blades, and that it is pushed down fully.
  2. Fill TM jug with water (hot or boiling will speed up the recipe) approximately 1800g, or between the 1.5l and 2lt marks on the side of the jug.
  3. Put on MC, set water to boil - 12 mins, 100°C, Counter-clockwise operation,Gentle stir setting
  4. While water is boiling, break eggs into individual cups or small bowls.
  5. If eggs have a lot of thin watery egg white surrounding them, you can strain using a fine sieve, and then place in cup. (This will help reduce the wispy, shaggy egg look)
  6. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to water.
  7. Once water has boiled (it may take more or less than the 12 minutes, depending on starting temperature), remove MC and adjust timer for 5 minutes, and drop temp to 98°C, Counter-clockwise operationGentle stir setting)
  8. Get ready, with your eggs, slotted spoon and paper towel near your Thermomix
  9. Once timer gets down below 4 minutes, gently tip your eggs, one at a time, into the water, a few seconds apart
  10. When done, remove lid, and lift out each egg, with the slotted spoon and place on paper towel, before plating up.

Tip

If your eggs are not super fresh, the egg white might be starting to thin and get watery. If you strain this off, your egg will be neater.
Fresh eggs have firm whites, so are always the best choice for poached eggs.
The addition of vinegar to the water helps set the whites, however, if you have very fresh eggs, or have strained them, it isn't really necessary, as they will have enough 'body' to set naturally.

    This recipe was spot on! I've never been able to poach an egg properly and always end up with a pot of scrambled egg soup. The eggs were perfectly poached and runny! This will definitely become a regular thing for me! Thank you

    I always make poached eggs on the stove, where I can keep an eye on the egg, feel them when ready etc.
    Since finding this method, I haven't used my stove for poached eggs since - perfect, every time!!
