the description for the picture mentions "moccha salt"? what is this? a google turns up nothing but another confused person. it looks green in the picture? [[User:Beej|beej]] ([[User talk:Beej|talk]]) 21:03, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

: Clicking on the image reveals that it was sourced from flickr. Following the link to flickr shows that it is [[matcha]] salt, not "moccha". [[User:William Avery|William Avery]] ([[User talk:William Avery|talk]]) 18:19, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Removed this as it seemed nonsensical and was not backed up with any citations:

The painting by Velázquez included in this article is of a woman FRYING (not poaching) eggs. That is why it's called "Vieja friendo huevos (Old Woman Frying Eggs)".

== Indian English ==

I re-added the statement that in Indian English, "poached egg" means a fried egg. This is an international encyclopedia in which all English uses of a term are relevant, especially one that is used by a fifth of the population of the world. This is not trivia and it is not irrelevant. It belongs here. [[User:Acsenray|Acsenray]] ([[User talk:Acsenray|talk]]) 17:50, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

==Fat is used in their preparation==

How can this article say that "no fat is used in their preparation"? This is quite clearly false. When one puts the egg in the container in which one poaches it, one must put some cooking oil or melted [[margarine]] to prevent the egg sticking to the container.

== Updated Source ==

I'm new to editing.

One of the sources led to a website that had moved and simply updated the link to point to the same post on the new website. I forgot to add a summary to my edit so I'm posting it here.

== Microwave poached eggs. ==

I poach my eggs in the microwave.

Crack the eggs into a bowl of boiling water, place bowl in the microwave for 45 seconds, done.

Variables :-

a) The microwave.

b) The size of the eggs.

c) How you like your eggs.

d) How much water you use, this is most important. A graduated container should be used so that the water volume is constant.

I have tried using cold water but the results were not as reliable, perhaps I am missing something.

Try it yourself and form an opinion as to whether this should be added to the article.

== Advantage of poaching over boiling in a shell? ==

I've been poaching eggs for years and i pretty much have the technique down, including tricks for poaching less fresh eggs. One day i wondered: what's the advantage of poaching over boiling in the shell? Cooking in the shell is easier and it saves you some vinegar and/or extra dishes (dirty pan, rings). So there must be an up-side, which should be mentioned in this entry.

I spent half an hour googling and couldn't find any reason. I tried looking it up in several reference books about food preparation, such as modernist cuisine, on food and cooking and the science of cooking. I've learned why we stir the pot of water before dropping in the egg and why vinegar helps the egg white coagulate. But why oh why do we bother and not just leave the egg in it's shell? [[User:PizzaMan|PizzaMan]] ([[User talk:PizzaMan|♨♨]]) 13:37, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
:{{re|PizzaMan}} Wouldn't what you're describing be [[Boiled egg|hard boiled egg]]s? As far as those go, the path to enlightenment is to boil for exactly 13 minutes and then immediately drop them into an ice bath. <span class="smallcaps" style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[User:Northamerica1000|North America]]<sup>[[User talk:Northamerica1000|<font size="-2">1000</font>]]</sup></span> 13:41, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
::Actually i was talking about poaching as in cooking the yolk and white in water without the shell as described in this article and asking what the advantage is over boiling it in the shell.

[edit]
Simple poached eggs on boiling water.

I removed an image(File:Poached Eggs - Howrah 2015-04-26 8504.JPG) because it did not match it's description ("Simple poached eggs on boiling water.") Basically, it's clear from the image that the eggs are not "on boiling water" as described. They are probably on a plate (the top left and bottom right of the image seem to show decorative marking on the plate).

I considered adding back the image, with a modified description, something along the lines of "Two chicken eggs poached in boiling water", but I notice that the eggs in this image might not be the best exemplar of the dish described in this article; I have no doubt this is an image of poached eggs, but they don't seem to exemplify the characteristic appearance portrayed in the other images(i.e. the tight encasement of an intact runny yolk in solid cooked egg white). The egg on the right seems to maybe have undercooked whites and the egg on the left looks like the yolk broke and mixed with the whites.

If any editors read this and might want to contribute their opinion towards a consensus if this image should be included and also what caption it should have (e.g. "Homecooked poached eggs attempt.") --IP_Editor (talk) 23:50, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
