THE process of achieving the perfect poached egg can be tricky for even the most advanced chefs.
From boiling water in a pan to using specific egg cups, there are all different methods people use in a bid to try and achieve the dream yolk.
But if yours seems to go wrong every time, then you're in luck,
A man named Russell, who posts under the acronym @eatlikeanadult, took to TikTok and shared the top tip he once saw from Michelin star chef, Paul Foster.
In the clip, he begins: "When I was taught to make poached eggs in professional kitchens, I was told to add vinegar to the water and create a vigorous swirl.
"But I recently saw a Michelin Star chef do it and I immediately adopted this new way because it's better in my opinion and I'm also not a Michelin Star chef, so there's that."

First up, Russell says you'll need to find some fresh eggs – he uses Clarence Court eggs – and adds that they need to be at room temperature.
"Get your water to a rolling simmer and then crack your egg into a sieve to it strains off those watery parts of the egg white for about a minute or so," he continues.

"Add a little bit of salt [to the water] and then the critical part is that you stir your water and you wait until it's the gentlest of swirls, so when it goes in, you've got the gentlest of movements so it doesn't stick."
He then carefully removes the egg from the sieve and places it into the moving water in one swift movement.

Next, he sets a timer for two minutes.
When the time is up, he advises testing the "firmness" of the egg to see if it's to your preference.
Russel points out that he usually puts it back in for an additional 30 seconds.
After removing the egg from the water and placing it on a paper towel, he then finishes up with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
The video has since racked up a whopping 1.8 million views and been inundated with comments online.
"It’s 4am… I’ve not slept yet and I’m about to make this I can’t wait hahaha," wrote one.
A second praised: "Looks ace mate."
