Cooking / Culinary

English term or phrase: Poach(ing)

One of the reasons that eggs are such a popular choice for breakfast is the numerous alternatives for preparation. Poaching is one of the easiest methods for cooking eggs.

Please remember that this is not "boiling" in the common sense.

Thank you Mona, that was an excellent link. I am certain that my choice might not be perfect, but a decision had to be made. It seemed to me that one part had to be sacrificed, and emphasizing the fact that the eggs are poached after breaking the shell was the scapegoat simply because it does not apply to other foods that are poached. BTW, one alternative I was considering was this "water bath" thing. Thanks again.

it seems that i missed your discussions and Jokes everyone. Hazem, your suggestion is really nice if the articles deals with other types of food being poached such as fish as you said.

Yes Nesrin, the current context is about eggs, but if we are going to settle for something we might as well try to make it suitable for other uses as well, if possible of course.

"To cook in boiling or simmering water" says the dictionary. However your sentence was about poached eggs & it had to be made clear that this is different from BOILED eggs. If you were talking about "poached fish" you may have to go for sth else.

أعتقد أن المقصود هنا هو تسوية البيض بشكل غير كامل، أي نصف طياب بالعامية المصرية

poach(ing) غلي البيض

Explanation:
It is not سلق البيض as this means 'boiling'.
Poaching is prepared by breaking the egg in boiling water to which vinegar has bee added.It is left in the boiling water until it's set. Delicious!

I used the term 'غلي البيض’ or 'البيض المغلي’ to distinguish it from 'boiled egg'.

poach(ing) يفقص البيضة في الماء الغالي /يسلق البيضة بفقصها فى الماء الغالى

Explanation:
to cook, as eggs, by breaking them into boiling water;

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 1 hr 16 mins (2005-12-24 13:50:12 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

Add some vinegar and salt to the water (the CIA recommends 2 T of vinegar and 1 T of salt for each gallon of water), bring it to a gentle boil / simmer (82°C). Crack a really fresh egg into a saucer and gently slide it into the pot. Don't put too many in the pot at one time. It should take about 3-4 minutes to finish. Lift the egg from the water with a slotted spoon, trim off the ragged whites and voilل! (or voilà?) you should have poached eggs.
