Cooking poached eggs in the Thermomix is simple with this easy method.
Cooking poached eggs in the Thermomix is simple to do but it does take a bit longer than the stove top method. This recipe is for the TM6 as the mixing bowl is larger than the TM31.
I followed the recipe in the basic cookbook and adjusted the time slightly and added less vinegar to the water. Vinegar is optional and helps keep the eggs whites together. I used white wine vinegar but plain white vinegar will also do the trick.
Poached eggs go really well with Hollondaise sauce (eggs benedict) and will save you a whopping $20 at a cafe. I've not made it recently in the Thermomix as no one else in my family like it. I followed the Everyday cookbook recipe but it didn't turn out too well so need to experiment more.

Why spray the simmering basket with oil?

It's so the egg whites don't stick to the simmering basket. The eggs will still turn out the same if not sprayed but it just helps with washing up.

Turned out perfectly for me thank you. One of the eggs lost most of its white but I probably didn’t put enough vinegar in it.
