I’ve just had a comment from a reader about my ‘how to poach an egg’ video in which he (or she) says that I omitted to mention that several eggs can be cooked at the same time. That’s a fair comment, I think, although I was more concerned with the basic method than with all its possible variations.

Nevertheless, let’s put the record straight. You can cook any number of eggs at the same time using this method, as long as you increase the size of the cooking pot proportionately. For example, in the pan I use in my video (which is in the ‘My Videos’ section), two to four eggs is the maximum. Any more and you would need a larger pan.

You don’t need to put each egg in a separate container prior to cooking, by the way. Crack them all into the same bowl, taking care not to break the yolks. They will stay separated in the pan.
