No matter how good we might be at cooking, mastering the art of a perfectly poached egg can be a long and painful process.
While there are certain egg-poaching gadgets that make it easier, doing it from scratch often ends in a messy failure.
But one man has shared a tip inspired by a Michelin chef that he claims makes poached eggs "perfect every time" - and it's different to how he was taught to do it in a professional kitchen.
The TikTok user @eatlikeanadult, who worked as a chef, often posts different recipes and tips "for healthy eaters that want to cook better", and this particular poached egg video has racked up over a million views.
In the video's voiceover, he explained: "In this video, I'm gonna show you how to make the perfect poached egg every time.
"When I was taught to do poached eggs in professional kitchens, I was taught to add vinegar to the water and create a vigorous swirl.
"But I recently saw a Michelin star chef do it and immediately adopted this new way of doing it, because it's better in my opinion."
He explained that you'll need the "freshest" eggs, stored at room temperature, and get a simmering pot of water on the go.
The following step is important for achieving a mess-free poached egg, as he explained: "Crack your egg into a sieve, so it strains off those watery parts of the egg white for about a minute."
Then, once you've added salt to the water, the "critical" part comes next.
"You stir your water, but you wait until it has the gentlest of swirls. So when [the egg] goes in, you've got the gentlest of movement and it doesn't stick," he said.
Once the egg has been eased into the water, all you need to do is set a timer for two minutes. Once the time is up, he explained that you should "test the

While the concept of the TV talent show may be obsolescent, with the glory days of The X Factor but a distant memory, our appetite for new music has arguably never been stronger.
Naman Ramachandran Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment, Universal Music Group, Republic Records and Samsung have teamed on global music collaboration initiative StemDrop – A Song for the World. StemDrop aims to act as an incubator for new talent by providing an opportunity for artists from anywhere in the world to collaborate with iconic songwriting talents. The initiative sees Max Martin who has produced Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time,” Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way,” Céline Dion’s “That’s the Way It is,” Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” and The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights”; and his hit-making team of Savan Kotecha and Ali Payami, who on Oct. 26 will release 60 seconds of a new single exclusively on TikTok. As soon as the song drops, the community will be able to access the ‘stems’ (the individual components of the song like drums, bass guitar and vocal parts) through the StemDrop page and can create, record and share their own versions.
I love that feeling when you've been looking for a particular item of clothing for ages and finally find it. For me, most recently, that's been a Wham Christmas Jumper on Depop that I regretted not buying when it was in Primark about three years ago, from Depop.

Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor TikTok parent ByteDance has begun talks with music labels about expanding its music-streaming service into more than a dozen markets in a move that would place it in direct competition with Spotify, Apple Music and other major streaming services, according to the Wall Street Journal. According to the report, the initial plan is to expand the company’s Resso service, which is currently only available in India, Indonesia and Brazil, into more than a dozen markets, although the U.S. is not said to be part of the next phase of expansion. The Journal’s sources say significant hurdles remain in the negotiations, but ByteDance wants the service to eventually be integrated within TikTok and to serve as a major platform for distributing music around the world.

Miss USA 2022 competition was reportedly “rigged,” the Miss Universe Organization revealed they will be conducting an “active review” into the claims, which the Miss USA Organization and its winner have both denied.“We are aware of the concerns that have been brought forth by this year’s Miss USA contestants,” the organization told The Post in an emailed statement. “We commend the women for bringing these issues to our attention and will always be an organization that encourages women to use their voice.”The Miss USA title winner represents the country in Miss Universe each year, which means Miss USA 2022 R’Bonney Gabriel will compete on a global scale next year.“We firmly believe everyone has a right to express their thoughts and experiences without retaliation and bullying,” the Miss Universe rep added.
Miss Texas R’Bonney Gabriel, was predetermined — or so say theories circulating TikTok, which claim no one had a “fair chance.”Miss Montana Heather Lee O’Keefe fired up the rumor mill online following the contest on Monday, when Gabriel was crowned — which made her the first Asian American woman and first Filipina American to earn the Miss Texas USA title.“Most of the Miss USA contestants feel very strongly that there was favoritism towards Miss Texas USA and we have the receipts to prove it,” O’Keefe claimed in a TikTok video with over 29,000 views.Miss USA did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.Replying to @dridge97 Speculations swirled as soon as Gabriel was crowned and the other 50 women swiftly exited the stage, as seen in the telecast. In comparison, fellow competitors typically remain onstage during the crowning moments.On top of that, Miss Texas didn’t seem surprised at her big win in the slightest, O’Keefe claimed, since most Miss USA winners are shocked upon hearing their name.Former Miss USA contestant Jasmine Jones claimed that it was “obvious” something was “off” about the crowning moment, sharing clips from previous competitions and years where fellow competitors rush to congratulate the winner.But suspiciously, that did not happen this year, she noted.Part 3! #greenscreenvideo #pageantry #missusa #2022 #crowning #sketch #fyp #part3 #OverwatchMe “Not one of them stays onstage to congratulate her or to run and hug her,” Jones said of this year’s pageant in a TikTok series with over 3 million views.
