Stir the water before you crack the eggs into it to get a good vortex going. The vinegar comment is right too

[Robert_S]

Vinegar in,stir the water quite fast then put the eggs in, the water spinning holds the egg white together.

 

Edit..Felix beat me to it, I was too busy poaching eggs.......

Rule number one, very very fresh eggs.

 

Many ways to poach an egg, I dont go for the cheffy swirly vortex thing myself, just bring the water to barely simmering, turn the heat off and crack the eggs straight in. Really fresh eggs ie day old will take about ten minutes to set the white properly but still leave the yolk runny.

The same but put a spin in the water with a spoon.
