How To: Poach an egg and rewarm it

Learn some basic cooking skills with CHOW. This video tutorial will show you how to poach an egg and rewarm it.

Associate Food Editor Aïda Mollenkamp demonstrates how to achieve the perfect poach. Poached eggs can be kept refrigerated for a day or two; in the second video, Aïda shows how to reheat the cooled egg.

Poached eggs are a lovely accent to many dishes—breakfast, lunch, or light dinner. We like them in the almost-classic Salade Lyonnaisey and in this Roasted Asparagus with Poached Eggs and Miso Butter.
