How to Have an Adam and Eve Dinner

Instructions

• 1

  Get a deep pan
  
  Take a pan around three inches deep, since you will need to pour water in it. Water is required so that the eggs do not stick to the bottom of the pan. In addition to this, the pan should be wide enough so both eggs don't stick to each other. You can use a non-stick pan in order to make poached eggs.

  Working with the eggs
  
  You are required to break the eggs one by one. You should crack or break eggs into different bowls or small cups, this will ensure that the yolk of your eggs does not break. Furthermore, if you find a bad egg, you can easily discard it this way and use a new one.

  Water temperature
  
  You need to set the water temperature to about 160 to 180ºF or 71-82ºC. In case you place the eggs in cold water, the egg will be separated before it cooks. On the other hand if you place the eggs in hot water, your eggs’ yolk will be over cooked and you might have thicker whites. If you place the eggs in boiling water i.e. 100ºC or 212ºF the taste and texture of your eggs will suffer.
