MasterChef's John Torode shares technique to get perfect poached eggs

Getting the perfect poached egg can be a struggle, but MasterChef Judge John Torode has shared his expert tips on how to whip up the perfect batch on This Morning. John appeared on the ITV programme to reveal his "chef's trick" to help novice cooks get great eggs every time.

The chef shared two distinct yet effective methods to poach an egg - wowing This Morning presenters, Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, reports the Mirror. John demonstrated precisely how a professional would poach eggs to order in a restaurant, as well as how they'd cook in advance and reheat for hundreds of hungry customers.

Kicking off with his cooking-to-order method, John, who is originally from Melbourne, Australia, explained that poached eggs have both foodie "friends" and "enemies", and one particular "enemy" will no doubt take some home cooks by surprise.
